Default Drey's build thread

I guess it finally a good time to make my build thread. I've joined SL just over 5 years ago when I got my 08' Flint Mica tC. I'm on here quite often I just don't post much. Anyways, its my daily car and it has been through a lot of changes. I wanted to go for all performance at first, but somehow ended up as stanced build I also have another project- my wife's 06' xB. I think I will just keep this one thread for both of our Scions.
Bought it brand new 10-11-07

Happen to have a how-to on the carputer? Like the look of the jlines. What part of texas do you live in btw? Nice looking rides and props to having a partner with the same interests as far as car modding!

I loved the sound when i had oem header on. Its ok if you stay off the throttle, but can get really loud between 2-3K The only video i have is this, i don't rev it there much but you can hear it at the last part of the video.

HKSpeed - I cut the flare/bottom part out of another tc fender, then riveted it on top of my stock fender.

Well, I sold the Equips and went with Work Leadsleds this time. 18x11 all around F +10, R 0. Dont mind my front wheel gap, I had to raise it by 1/2 to clear my front coils. I will dial everything in this weekend and get my fronts to tuck again. Heres some pics taken by the others at ccm last weekend.

What did you do with the cut edge on the fenders? What clips are you using for the front bumper?
Car Looks slick!

I used jigsaw with fine blades then smoothed it out with grinder wheel. As for rubber molding I used molding off 1st gen xB sideskirts Quik latch clips.
