i looked at the pictures and said damn that white is sooo sexy and then i thought to myself wait my car is white lol hahahaha but no really the rims, black toyota badges, and that front lisence plate really make the white really stand out.

I am actually considering BOTH the Grid and the RPF1 in a 17x9 and 245/40/17. However, I am not planning on doing any mods to the suspension. Will either of those wheels rub on the stock setup? It looks like you ran the Grids on the stock setup without issue. But you already had the coilovers on when you added the RPF1's so I don't know... what do you think?

I would really like to do 255s but I'm told from another member that would not work.

Blacked IN tails! That's what I am calling it anyway, they are certainly not blacked OUT!

They were cut open, chrome painted black, and sealed back up. PLEASE don't PM me asking me to make you some (I didn't make them).

They look fantastic, if the stock tails came like this I wouldn't have gone out and bought my Valenti tails. Very nice

I just have a gopro

the 17x9 et42 with 245/40 will fit stock. If the tire is bigger or the offset is closer to the stock spring you might run into clearance issues.

Very nice wheel/tire set up sir and great pics. This is exactly what I am looking to do although I'm thinking of getting them powder coated gun metal since mine is a firestorm.

They are just the stock ones painted red, but the signal area was left clear and not painted before the clear was put on. I like them a lot!

I installed Strano FSB before 2 day autoX this weekend and it totally transformed the car! my best mod yet! To me it finally feels like a go-kart!
