nope, they are my design, cut them out myself, from the front they go with the look of the 08+ headlights so well, takes away the dead space and shows off only what matters, the lights

Thanks. I'm waiting til the end of the month for my next paycheck. Then I'm getting TRD CAI, and either the S Techs or the H-techs.. i haven't decided which yet.

I'm also ordering the L.E.D's to do my dash swap (I might order those tomorrow). I've been doing L.E.D swaps in other things (like my 360) and it should be a lot easier to mod the gauge cluster than the xbox 360/controllers.

Oh, and I think i'm going to paint my mudflaps white on the non-fender side, to get better flow with the car.. I'm waiting to see how well that krylon paint matches up to the toyota sw. Anybody have input on that?

What was difficult about the center lcd? I haven't really been able to get a good look at it in any of the pics.. But the leds in the 360 controllers are amazingly tiny.. about the size of the e on a dime.. so as far as soldering/desoldering difficulty it should be a cake walk. But i'm curious about the lcd..

They hurt performance? How so? I thought everyone was pretty much recommending the stechs..

Thanks a lot! Its nice to hear positive feedback, even though I'm nowhere close to finished with my mods. I can't wait to get my gauge cluster/hvac finished..

its a pain to unsolder and get out of the way, other then that it wasnt to bad, there are alot of DYI on here, just follow the instructions, if you have a fine tip solder iron, youll be fine

How bad was it to resolder?
