You're missing the weather strip. There's a guy on ebay that sells some.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...Q5fAccessories

I'm getting my repainted lip kit this weekend that already has gray weatherstripping on it. But if it doesn't look good on my car, I might buy black from this guy. He sells it in longer lengths as well. Nice car by the way.

Lightbulb

Just place the spoiler on my car for some photoshoot to help me see how it looks with it.

Let me know if it make the car looks too aggressive leaving my car out of the lux/cleanliness look side.


And this is the only way I can mount my reverse camera!! maybe I should paint it white when I have a chance to take it apart!


So I just picked up both of these for $100 bucks from a random guy on craigslist, they're new never been installed, I'm guessing the spoiler is Viniati Spoiler if I'm not mistaken? and a K Speed bumper

So I want so see some input and comments from you guys, if I should install this spoiler or should I just sell it and get Kaminari Flush spoiler? and I also wants to know if any interest on this spoiler, shoot me an offer! I also don't want to rice out with body kit, just want that luxury looks and clean, so I want some input on the K Speed bumper, but on my mind only 30% is a yes and 70% is a no, better off getting a add on lip for it. so yea... let me know guys...

Along with that! when i go pick up the stuff, I put a long 8" curve on my rim and tear off some meat off the tire's wall

thanks for the input, about the TSX I kinda regret that I didn't use a clear lense for it, I was really happy with its light out put which makes 80% of people on the road turns their head when I first bought a 55w K-Light HID kit which really bright but the bulb and ballast went die within a yea, now I've bought about 3 ebay HID kit, but the light output looks normal I didn't get any head turn for 2.5yrs ever since I decide to use ebay kit but they does last for more then 2.5yrs now and still using it, I'm kinda of confuse which HID Kit to get back my head turners

So after a week of reading through alot of reviews on Stagg, KYB GR-2, Tokico HP Blue struts, I end up with the final decision today! and go ahead and place an order on the TRD Struts Set from TRD Sparks for $478.04, cheaper then on ebay. Now... I hope it comes by friday or saturday so I can get it on my car!!! so exciting... can't wait to have the ride quality back!!! I hope the TRD Strut will take my car for another 5yrs or so...

thanks! Gold it is... yea... another color rec is welcome too..

I'll never gonna regret with TRD Combo...

A few other things I have clicking noise when I take off the car and off the drive way, had taken off my wheels many time to inspect everything is bolts up correctly, seems to be good, kinda clueless!!! it's from the front passenger side btw and squeaking on most other corners, CVB boot still good, did inspected the OEM sway bar seems fine, it's at 77k trying to do a fully tune up to get it to take another 5yrs any sugguestion? thanks...

also idle with AC kinda rought and knocking noise still after the Spark plug change out and seafoam, I've heard cleaning the throttle body will do, I got the knocking noise after I had the body shop replace a AC Condensor and recharge it, AC seems a bit weaker then originally.

Sorry for the long post with multiple issues.
