whats a butt-for?




in all seriousness, id have to say my painted interior is most unique to my car, since it got messed up in 1 spot and I had to redo my design, and it ended up turning out really well. Pics in my profile for anyone interested.

I made a rear strut tower bar out of V- 50 tube steel and Scrap parts i found at work. It took about 5 hours total to build.

I work at a steel fab shop we build the main structure of commercial buildings (beams, colomns stuff like that), so i had acces to lots of tools.

I can really tell the inprovement in turns too.

Thumbs up on the license plate frame! Nice! Where'd u get it? jk. Nice TRD badge, and I like the Radar Detector, got the same one, and I wonder why I didn't get one a long time ago.

My most unique mod, which is not unique but many ppl don't have it, would be the gauge led's that I swapped out for white. Looks sooo much better than amber.

Hey wait, I got an inverted fender flare that I don't really like anymore. If anyone has a stock silver front right fender that they don't want, I'll buy it.

mine's definitely the red lights in the footwells - it's really sweet.


no just kidding - I don't have any super rare mods, but I'd say it's a three way tie between my white headlight shrouds, black suede headliner/pillars, and custom 10" subwoofer box that replaces the foam insert and is angled up beneath the flappy thing.
