Best Buy ... I used to work at one a while back... I guess make sure they understand what you want... It's really a piece of cake to do, took me 20min with adding a switch and stuff... Also if you look at the picture with my gauges you can see where I put the little box with the power, alert, and mute button...

I have TRD Springs. Very subtle drop (1.25" all-around) but it does make a difference.
Check out my "profile" for some pix. Car looks good. Keep it up.

BlackMetal,

I live in the glorious Green Mountains of VT and we get some pretty horrid weather here, snow, sleet, rain, you name it. I had the TRD cold air with a bypass valve on it for two years and ran my car year round with no problems.

Just thought I'd share, I haven't heard what the short ram sounds like and don't know if there's any diff in performance, but I wouldn't want you to be missin' out!

I put the CAI on for a while a few months ago, it started banging against my fender so badly, I even tried the Doc I's plate for the intake and it just made it worse... I wound up taking it off again, so it's SRI again... lol... Either way, there's no performance difference... Just sounds nice (both SRI and CAI)...

The HID's are Xetronic Digital 8000k kit (H11)... Best kit on the market IMO, and well worth the price tag... They can be found here http://www.xtralights.com/index.asp?...OD&ProdID=1345 They are a bit pricy, but I have had 0 problems with them (No flickering, No burnt bulbs / ballasts, No problem with only one light turning on, ext.. Like I had with some other HID kits I bought in the past )
