OK I have to say I like this scion. This front lip is very clean, maintains the clean look of stock, but of course adds more girth to the front which is perfect. The wheels are also very nice. I don't like the black hood, i'd paint that CF hood white.

Default Lighting Update 10-7-11 - HVAC, Shifter, Glove Box LEDs

I'm still slowly working on the LED swap on my interior. So here is a small update on where I am at...

HVAC



HVAC buttons



Shifter



and introducing...
the LED Glove Box mod! a Scion202 special!


now all i need to get done is the gauge cluster and the window button (and finish the clock i'm working on)

i also just came from the DaYUUM car meet @ guppy house...it was small but awesome! met someone that works at TRD...really cool guy!

I spent most of my time talking to him (and the OEM guys) but I did take some photos...so i'll be posting that stuff up probably tomorrow

haha the event was small, but a good turn out. a last minute thing for me really...the OEM guys just called me up on short notice to come out and hang with them.

Default Sticker Update 10-10-11 | ImportEquipment.com

Credit to MightyP for the find and an awesome job by Nathan at ImportEquipment.com

Visor warning label covers...
BEFORE



AFTER



in photos the sticker stands out a lot compared to the interior....but in person the match looks much better

to purchase here: http://www.importequipment.com/Onlin...roducts_id=276

some new stickers!
Descendant branded!


A tribute to one of my favorite basketball players...UCLA's own/former LA Clipper Baron Davis

added a custom made (by me) Kidrobot vinyl



i had to change the layout on the stickers...i moved the encore one up...that was easy. peel off stick on wax paper until ready

but i also adjusted the Nisei Showoff sticker...a diecut sticker!...that was harder...most people say it can be reused
well I did it!

i got painters tape and put it over...then with a blade a slowly lifted up the corners...and slowly got it off the window
then i just stuck it on wax paper until i was ready...it was just like putting on a new sticker. it was a little tougher since the sticker was sticking to the tape a little...but just use the blade again to help reapply it back to the window

..also i usually do my stickers wet, but with the tape being sticky it took A LOT more time and focus. if i had to reapply a sticker all over again...id do it dry

Car looks great Kid!
Quick question;
where did you purchased the antenna? and radio reception is still as OEM antenna?
Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt reply!
I will check it out.
PS:
You just got the antenna, not the complete assembly (base included) like this. right?

Hopefully one day someone will come up with an idea on what to put in place of the hole after you remove the whole antenna assembly for us people that don't even use the radio.
