Just installed the Factory Center Console Arm Rest, ordered through Elmhurst Toyota.

PT478-18130

It required some drilling into the existing center console, and features a sliding mechanism which allows you to access your center console items as well. Very impressed by the design, and it matches everything well! No more hard center console to rest your elbow on!

Finally! After seeing pictures of these for months and months, I have them on my car.

Spyder LED Headlights w/ Halo Ring. Black Housing

Specs:
Headlights: Projector, H7
High Beam: Flapper opens up to reveal more light.
LED DRL Strip: On at all times.
Turn Signal LED: Wired to use just as a turn signal
Halo Ring: Wired to come on with DRL circuit (no headlights).

Thoroughly impressed with these headlights! They look amazing. Pictures don't do justice. The color combo of black/chrome is perfect. Pics coming later with all 6000k HIDs in headlights and fogs.

Actually, we modified the OEM Mudguards, basically installed the side skirts without the mudguards on, and then we measured and cut out where the side skirts would fit in on the mudguard.

First you have to remove the front bumper assembly off the car .

There is a 6 pin connector on the Spyder lights . The halo convertor box has a black[-] and red [+] wire . These two connect to the Black and red wire on the headlights connector.

How did you know where to mount the Toyota emblem on the rear across from the gt86 badge? I've seen paper work for the gt86 just not the Toyota.

Really just by eye'ing it. Look at the distance between the license plate and the GT86 badge, then look at the distance between the Toyota and the license plate.

Just installed the "CS Style" Rear Spats. Had to remove the OEM Rear Mudflaps to make them work. Might mess with them later on to try to integrate the mudflap and rear spat to work together, like I did with the side skirts. The car now has a complete lip kit around the whole car!

Just a quick update. Have the summer wheels back on, added a few decals (TRD Type - E Large) to the side of the car and TRD on the center caps.

This weekend will be installing the Stop Tech front and rear slotted brake rotors, and steel braided brake lines, as well as the powder coated calipers!

Then next week all the suspension parts will be installed!

Install of the Stop Tech front/rear brake rotors, stainless steel braided brake lines and powder coated calipers. These things are nice! Really make a difference in look and feel.
