Did you have to modify your OEM mud guards to install the side skirts? Everyone I have asked said I can't install side skirts with the OEM mud guards. Your car is the first I have seen online line that has both OEM mud guards and side skirts.

Also, where did you buy your TRD trunk emblem and TRD side door decals? So far, I have only seen them on www.aliexpress.com

Yes the OEM Mudguards were cut to fit with the side skirts,

TRD Decal I got through Curt Aigner @ Elmhurst Toyota, and the side door decal I had made from X-treme Graphics in Lombard, cut and fit to exact specs as the TRD Japan Type-E (Large) Decal.

Been looking for some way to increase light output. Spent $100 on leds and still no brighter than stock.

$100 on LED bulbs?

They are decently bright.

Looks really clean, with the turbo kit is should really shine. Suprised you didn't add the BRZ's STi Gunny Flap to the spoiler the black would really complement your other accents!

Subbed for another firestorm. Got one myself and it is ridiculous how rare the color is. It's funny how similar our taste is. I'm gonna go with the Greddy gracer front lip and the rear under spoiler also from greddy. I was gonna go with the spyders like you did, but I'm thinking black winjets and I'll probably get some led angel eyes custom installed.

I love your build man. It looks super clean, doesn't look over-the-top or obnoxious, just looks good. Love those canards, I'm doing them too and I'm unsure if I wanna just get the rubber TRD ones and have the black, or get the carbon fiber ones and get the painted red to match the car.. argh, too many decisions!

**3/23/2015**
Quick update!

I have about 1500 miles on the kit, with no problems besides it running a bit too rich under boost. I am getting ready to go back to P&L to get tuning done with Prime Motorings Flex Fuel Kit and Deatschwerks 900cc injectors. I will be tuning for E, and looking to run about 340 to the wheels.


I've also modded the Valenti 4th Brake light to have the "V" on with the park lights only, and then I wired the triangle (fog light) to work with the brake and also flash x5 (f1 style).

Driveway Labs Type 2a Rear Diffuser and Beat Sonic Roof Spoiler were also installed! Trying to get pictures up as soon as I can.



As for the Rocket Bunny v2 front bumper, trying to make it fit due to being FI, the fog light tunnel was hitting the drivers side IC pipe. I had that modified and cut down to give clearance. I will be test fitting the bumper this weekend before sending it off to paint.
