yupp, that is surface rust, we had two snow storms and this is the result. obviously i didn't trade it in this form, i used steel wool and polish to bring it back to its original look, however i was dissapointed with the quality, my invida on my sti was on for two winters went through man snow storms and bad terrain and it looked brand new when i took it off....

That's not bad at all. Definitely thought it would be more as well. More interested in those traction control switches.

yeah but apparently it varies regardless on customs and various other things but yeah proably around 130-160$ you're looking at for what i got, but you can also add black door levers, black hvac surrounds, black main dash trim.

those are about 30-40 from that site and you can also buy it from your local toyota dealer but its a bit more expensive i think.

got a few updates coming real soon but until i can share those here is something different i did today.

sorry for the cellphone shots in advanced.

first i did interior footwell lighting, switch is by the knee pad:





then i added a courtesy light, most higher end cars have them and its so subtle but makes a huge difference. at night i always find myself looking for the heated seat buttons or i can't see whats in the cupholders and i dont want to turn my dome light on...so this is PERFECT in photos its really hard to make it out but its just really soft red lighting that makes it possible to see the center console at night but it isn't distracting at all. i'll let the pictures explain:



test fit LED, make sure tip of LED is inside the hole, and aimed at a slight angle towards the rear:



then mount the LED in place:





i just wired it to my radar, just a power and a ground. thus it will be on when ignition is on...and off when car is off. really simple.



and finished product:



can see at night what it does, but the cellphone can't capture how thin the light spreads...its really barely noticeable but perfect to see interior.





got big updates coming soon so stay tuned.

love the courtesy light. Why is the outside of the plastic so chewed up?
