I have a 2007 TRD Edition FJ Cruiser as well and it eats gas like crazy so I decided to get a daily gas saver that matched.

Attachment 23330

First thing I did was tint, they use Solar Gard and I did 25% and 35% for the factory look. Autonation Champion Toyota gets all of their vehicles tinted at Hurricane Auto and I went direct for a cheaper price!

Went a little LED crazy today for both cars at Pepboy's and it makes a world of a difference compared to other LED ones.

Attachment 23328
Just got the iPod/iPhone cable in, does anyone know if it will work for the lighting cable adapter for the newer iPhones?

Attachment 23322
Installed the rear bumper applique today.

TRD Goodness!

Thanks! :icon_mrgreen:

Got a hold of a new TRD cold air intake, got excited and installed it half way, stopped and took it back off. Decided it flooded too much in my area and didn't want to risk it. Will be up for sale here or elsewhere shortly.

Attachment 23318
Decided to go with the K&N short ram intake instead.

Finally got these in the mail, the LED does the hyper flash for signaling and these eBay load resistors did the trick.

Attachment 23320
Got my VRD style fogs in and yellow overlays from bluebatoverlays.com in, working on them tonight and letting them dry before installation.

Attachment 23321
Installed the JDM Toyota premium horns and its makes a big sound difference.

Got my carbon fiber engine cover in and it looks great.

Attachment 23309

Test fit and reused the old heat insulation from the original engine cover over. Wanted something a little different with the decal and went with an old school style Toyota TRD decal
with Japanese lettering they use to put on the TRD Celica's and Supra's at the dealership back in the days.

Pics of horns installed?

is that the carb legal intake?

Anywhere but Cali and any other States that might be adopting their emission standards.

ahh I see. I think K&N makes one for Cali but its really ugly lol

Got a ticket for my Injen that's why I was wondering. Ill probably just go back to the Injen.

Wanted to give the car a little more accent and matching red stitching for a cleaner look. Picked up an OEM manual shifter boot, a 10 dollar TRD replica knob and a thread adapter.
