Made some more subtle interior changes that I've wanted to do for about 7 years:

Dechromed and paint-matched the HVAC control trim
Dechromed and blacked-out parking brake release button
Blacked-out glove box lock cylinder

Stole one of my coworkers Enkei's NT03's to see how 9.5's fit to make sure everything clears before ordering wheels. At +40 they hit the coilovers, but with 3mm spacers they cleared everything great. Then played around with spacers to see how everything sits. They're at +32 in these pics. His tires are also too short, but the wheel fitment is great! Really liking the stretch of the 245 on the 9.5's, they're more aggressive but should rub less I do now.

Looks good man! where did you get that silicone tray that goes around cigerate lighter I assume? I put felt down there, for sunglasses etc, but I would rather have what you got going on.

Thanks d00d! That's the OEM center console tray. P/N: PT413-21160. Really nice little trim piece.

Swapped out a slightly oxidized passenger side door handle this weekend with a fresh one from Toyota. The vids for swapping Toyota handles online don't match up for this car and the door panel needed to be removed to release an internal spring in order to the get the handle to come out/in, but was pretty simple after that. Gave me a chance to add more thermal insulation to the door as well. I love how cheap everything is for this car. I spent like $42 total on a new exterior OEM door handle + keyhole cover piece, prepainted from Toyota.

Also grabbed a fresh set of floor mats to replace my 7yo ones. Looks so much nicer in the cabin <3.

Just posting whatever to keep the forum going, lol. Crazy how much of a difference new floormats, an interior dechrome, and interior dressing can make though.

Swapped in new OEM rear bumper brackets this weekend to help remove some of the bumper gap. Pretty painless install and it closed up the gap by about half. Stil more than it should be, but not much you can do on these cars.

WeatherTech also warrantied my 9-month-old side window deflectors because the brutal summer destroyed them. Looks nice to have them shiny and not faded anymore, will see how long the replacements last. Really not impressed with anything I've gotten from WeatherTech so far.

BIG UPDATE!

So first off, I got the header, s-pipe and battery tie down Cerakoted and installed last week and they look fantastic.



But then... an incredible opportunity to purchase my dream car came up that I absolutely could not pass it up so the tC has been sold to a long-time friend.

And the cleanest 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo 5-Speed Manual Targa Top that I've seen in my 5+ years of searching for one has replaced it.. Oh, it only has 69k miles!





It's been fun d00ds

Hedder looks good on there drizz. Thanks for posting your efforts, and a job well done. Hope your buddy appreciates all your hard work, and has returned the favor by supporting you financially in your new car endeavor. Will you start a new thread on that, and will it be on this forum, or another?

TY d00d. Not sure if I'll start a new thread on here; I wasn't planning on it. Haven't gave it too much thought yet, still just getting familiar with the car.
