Hood Struts, K&N Air Filter, Clear Bra, Black TRD rear Bumper Decal.
Tires and TRD Rims will be on tomorrow.
The bigger mods will be coming in a few weeks, when I get time.

Definitely motul gear oil for the trans and diff. What a difference it makes!

torqdork · 07-22-2015, 12:55 AM

I had the following stacked in the garage a week before the car arrived:

--Perrin Unres 2½" Catback
--TRD CAI, mainly improved throttle response, but a drop-in might do the same
--Motul 600 Brake Fluid
--Carbotech XP-10's FR, XP-8's RR
--Redline Diff and Tranny Syn
--TRD Weighted Shift Knob
--Bridgestone RE-11A's 225/45-17
--Beatsonic Sharkfin
--OEM Oil and Filter to change before it's first track day the following week
--Plugged the tube
--Torco Accelerator
--Braille Lightweight Battery
--Full Griot's Polish/Wax

That's pretty much all I ever did to the car and except for the weak battery, would do it again but today would get the new Bridgestone RE-71A's.

I just got mine two weeks ago. First thing I did was swap out the rear lisence plate lights to LED's. Then I ordered Toyota emblems. After, I plasti dipped my rims and gas wall. Last was my tail lights. I just ordered Lug nuts, wheels and mud flaps however lol

Ya! Mine was obviously PDIed by some dude that was 6' 12" and a big fan of the gansta driver style. Or they had a nap. One or the other.

bdizz · 07-22-2015, 01:04 PM

TRD lowering kit. There was just too much wheel gap for my liking.

Hey, I think I've seen this video! It's about why you should not buy cheap aftermarket steering wheels. Dude bent that poor thing like... not really good with analogies.

diode dynamics LEDs for the trunk, cabin, and license plate, K&N drop in, borla catback and tomei uel. its the middle of go kart season so i won't be buying much else until winter since i can only afford to focus on one thing at a time unless i decide to just eat rice for the rest of the summer.
