So I got my little white box back on August 24th. Rolling stock as you can see.

Couldn't do without my window tint, and soon after got a front vinyl piece put on in a matte finish. I also had the guy put on my Scion bumper protector.

Just the other day the bug was still biting me so I picked up a OEM Scion spoiler and the TRD intake. The Spoiler goes on Friday, and I just put the intake on this afternoon, man that thing was a _____ compared to others I've done.

Well hope you enjoyed the pics I'll keep posting as things come along. I'm getting NF210's put on some time soon, and the Tanabe strut bars front and back. I also have on order a set of the 6k HID upgrades from Mod-Express. It will basically will get all its stuff done minus the wheels until the tires are no good. I figure there is no sense in wasting a perfectly good set of tires.

Blue Batmobile has them online. I just got mine done by a local guy that does vinyl car graphics, he didn't have any problem with having the material or applying it for me.

Also just as an update.

The OEM Scion wing is on, tomorrow I go in to have it lowered on the NF210 and get the front tower strut bar. Also got the HID kit today in the mail, so over the weekend I'll probably through those on, with the strut bar. Or if the price is right, I'll just have the shop putting the springs on do the lights too.

Well here's a little update. I know I've been offline forever, just playing with the Box, and on the job hunt. But here's what's happened since I've last been on.
Where you don't see a strut tower.........

The car was also lowered on Tanabe NF210's by Lou at Amplified, who also got me the strut tower. Good guys. I'm still going to be getting that Tanabe exhaust from you Lou.

I wasn't really liking the OEM wheel covers, so I just popped them off. With winter coming up and me going snowboarding, I'd just be taking them off when I ran cables anyways, right now it doesn't look too terrible until the tire are toast and its time to get new wheels.

Well I'll keep you all posted as more is added. I think the roof rack and, exhaust are the next items of order.

Well sorry I have no aspirations to paint the wheels white.

But other than that the TRD intake seems to be working fine, it was a PITB to install, but whatever.
