What was the eBay seller? Was it scionshoppe.com? They look like their covers, which I also have.

Seriously, what is it about japanese/chinese characters that gives everyone a chubby. That font is pretty bad and it would be tacky even if the characters looked right. Its your car and all, but man it would look better without `em.

ps. to get the literal pronunciation right you probably need to add a - after bi because Japanese don't draw that sound out as much as we do.

Yes, the covers are from scionshoppe.

As for the Japanese text, I agree that there should be a "-" after the bi but the website I was using to create it wasn't wanting to do it for some reason. Anyways, I agree. As for the font, I picked that one ^_^.

One suggestion....LOSE THE STICKERS, other than that not too bad....the one thing i really like is the headlights.

And as the "now what?" question, you should definitely sell those rims and tires, get bigger wheels with lower profile tires and drop it a couple of inches.

agreed totally chazm. im so glad i bought mine bone stock and added all my ____ myself. Feels alot better to do stuff on your own, its rewarding. Definately get bigger nicer wheels. Also i think its lacking performance parts too. Its a Start though. You will change things eventually as you add new stuff. It just wont jive together.

The green is coming from an outside source. I had to up the brightness and contrast in the picture quite a bit so my blue climate control would show up and it made that light look green. I agree with everyone on the wheels. I need 18's but that will have to wait a while. Insufficient funds.

I don't really like the kanji on the sides anymore but I love the writing across my windshield and my other stic...kers... no! Vinyl decals! Sounds better.
