Thanks! The pedal covers and side step cover I got from scionpartspeople.com. Not sure if they still sell them but they'll be on a site that sells manufacturer parts. The pedal cover that has "tC" engraved is at customtc.com.

Oh I'm not sure. I didnt know they made newer versions but I got it a long time ago so I'm thinking it may be version 1. Thanks btw I love this exhaust. The cabin is quiet, but outside its pretty loud... So i can enjoy my music now with the kicker. Lol

Thanks for the compliments everyone... I use to get mad hate on it when I first started modding. Now that I'm a little older I see why. Mods look way better when you really put thought into it. My car only sounds manual because I used the low gears 1, 2, and 3 on the auto shift box. And the LED's are wired to a switch and a tap from the fuse box under the dash. Not too hard to do. I'm adding a rear foglight later this week so I'll have more pics of that once it's installed... and I'll make a complete detailed walk around of the car. thanks again everyone!

How did you get that rear hatch cover with no indent for the emblem? I'm really liking the gun show on the back.

shaving the rear emblem is not too hard. if you are planning on painting or covering it with a wrap you can:
1- remove the emblem as it pries out
2- fill with bondo
3- sand until it is completely smooth.

a second technique is just instead of using bondo fill with fiberglass and sand. fiberglass will make for a much stronger product. Bondo is just much easier and WAY less messy to use.

Hmmm ok. Does the rear emblem has pin holes that will need to be filled?
