Just need to adjust the alignment so that it looks like it's laying an egg (Toyota emblem)..

Well done Tcoat.. that british racing green inspired color is beautiful on this car!



How come you didn't hold on to Hot lava for 1 more year and wait to see what gen 2 has in store?

Because from the reports of a reliable source (ichi) it will not interest me. Besides this way if it turns out he (and my own suspicions) was wrong and it is a good version then I will get a second or third model year of the 2nd gen and hopefully avoid any teething problems. First model years of cars scare me.

I didn't know that you sell your car. Nice choice with the new one!

Welcome!! I look forward to hearing from you about your adventures with the Lava.

P.S, don't get roped into mowing @Tcoat 's neighbour's lawn....

Update:

So much for my dark colour theory. When this mess is all over and my wife is back to work there will be lowering and exhaust changes.
Height is fine from up close but as soon as I walk 50 feet away it looks like a bloody rally car or monster truck siting way up like that.

The stock exhaust just does not do it for me at all. I need some rumble back.

Well, I wasn't going to argue the point about the offending gap.. I thought I'd wait it out.. didn't need to wait too long!!

The stock exhaust is shite!! And what about wheel spacers? You need them to really show off the pretty colour..
