Got myself a new camera the other day (Canon T3i) and today I reached the 20,000 milestone. They've all been wonderful. Hoping to see at least 10 times that in this car in the years to come.

^^ My first attempt at "true" HDR photo editing.

Man I kinda wish I got a ultramarine FRS, that color has grown on me big time. Cool brake light mod!

Wheels and drop made a huge difference. Not a huge fan of the mudflaps. Dig the vanity plate.

But today was the big day: XXR 530 wheels in Hyper Silver wrapped in 235/40-18 BFGoodrich g-force Sport Comp-2 tires. I also have a set of Eibach Pro-Kit 1" drop lowering springs ordered, so the wheel well gap's days are numbered.

What are the specs of those XXR 530s you got there?

what did you use to place under the scion to give it that third brake light? any links to the led you purchased or a DIY

We used a reflector lens purchased from Wal-Mart for a couple of dollars. And some LED strips from auto store. Same method for my trunk.

The Walmart LED strips have been swapped out for some much more powerful LEDs. Still need to rewire them with some heavier gauge wire though. They're working fine now, I'm just not comfortable with the super thin wires the new LEDs came wired with. When I tear it apart to do that I'm planning on doing a proper DIY. But I'm in the process of moving for military training so that project has been put on hold temporarily. Stay tuned.

Well, hurry the hell up! I'm PCSing to Hawaii in January and must have this done before I get there!

Took some pictures while I was waxing over the weekend.

Something about this first picture just puts a grin on my face. It's like a bug or something with the windshield wipers for antennae. Will have to recreate this pose when I put on the Lambo doors...

Dat ass!

Shiny!

These last two are to show off the lighting modifications I've done so far. Bi-Xenon HIDs and my 3rd brake light relocation mod (as well as adding a bulb to the rear fog as a 4th brake light):
