No not yet, just doing exterior lights since the OEM lights sucked at night... I got my HIDs yesterday, but they get to go under the tree. Here's some pics of the PIAA plasma ion yellow bulbs I put in yesterday. They are so much brighter than the OM bulbs





And here's what happened to the LEDs for the brake lights:
(Top) halogen bulb fully illuminated
(Bottom) LED bulb fully illuminated



^ don't buy LED brake lights... unless they have over 200 lumens? (I think that was what halogens put out)

 

 

damn... You get your fenders rolled?

You got all red brake lights?

 

Rolled my fenders w/ my friend's roller.

And yes! Good eye got 'em wrapped!

 

You get some pics? I'm still confused on what exactly rolling fenders does lol.

How do the brake lights look in person? It looks a little pink in the picture.

 

Got my shift **** and boot today! Shift boot was a PITA, but I'll get to that after the pics:






Sorry the pics are kinda out of focus thanks to the blue lights and it is night time lol

Got the shift **** from passwordJDM.com, it fit nice and is a much more balanced weight, I can feel the difference in shifting. The boot I got off ebay for $9 and is just a cover, there wasn't a ring to secure it to the plate like in the stock one (go figure)... so I just slipped that one over the stock one and it keeps it looking pretty good. I saw someone used a Crown Royal bag before and I'm really tempting to steal it considering we get Crown by the gallons around here LOL.

 

finally found time to add on the sides and rear.

 

^ that looks nice, what kit is that? ^

 

Yeah that looks nice! Now you just need to up the rims!

 

it's the k-1 , kenstyle replicas, and yea i know i need to up the rims =[ saving for some 17s xxr 962. anyone know if 17x9 35 offset will fit in the front? i'm assuming no.

 

I'm rocking a 16x8 w/ a +20 offset and I'm perfectly flush, if not poking just a few millimeters. There's no way that'd fit unless you cambered in like crazy and did the best roll/pull/flare job anyone's ever seen haha.

 

dam i found the rims i wanted on craigslist but their 17x9 =[

 

damn 9s are way too deep! I don't think you could make a turn without f'ing your bumper up...

 

here are some more pics. time to get that cf hood.






i got a sticky situation, looking for some input.
right now i'm on 15 inch rims, eibach sportlines and tokico blues.
should i upgrade to 17 inch 225/45/17 tires or get some progress coilovers?
both cost around the same price brand new unless i find a used set which ever comes first.
i will lose ride quality either way, but i think progress will be worse because i'll be lower all the way down.
i will lose some mpg on 17s
if i had the money i'd get both but i don't =[

 

I would go with the 17 first. But for me, I like the way your car look now.

 

Get coilovers first, you can always find a good deal on other forums like stanceworks/stancenation for some nice wheels.

 

Depends on if your buying tires with those 17s... There are some sick deals out right now being the end of year and all, but honestly you have a decent drop so I'd go with the rims. That way you can really decide if you want to go lower with the huge rims...

I don't know how much molding costs, but molding that kit would make that car look 100% better IMO...

Real talk, if you do get the coilovers and are looking to sell the springs and shocks I want dibs LOL

 

yea it would look better but i wouldn't even know where to begin looking for places that do it, it's probably out of my price range, if i want to remove it in the future i won't be able to, i got the rear and sides in somewhat beat-up condition, therefore it's not worth it.

i'm looking at xxr 962s 17inch gold right now because there's a package deal for tire + rims for $800 total.
brand new progress coils cost roughly about the same price around $800.
sigh i should of picked up zillon's ksport coils when i had the chance but i hesitated =x

goddamn the rear gap is such an eye sore. blame it on the scion engineers !!!! if someone has a rear coilover set for sale I WANT IT. it's probably impossible to ask the makers to part out their coilovers to front and rears.

 

If you have a pair, you could cut the rear springs... ... ... (or get someone who knows how to of course)

 

Turbo or Supercharger?

And while we're talking about rims and tires, what do y'all think about this setup?
