which is telling me the front offset shouldnt be as aggressive as the rear.

Could just be the camera angle though, or the front end really is a little bit slimmer than the rear.

The wheel is the same size and offset from front to back, but the tires are staggered. The front does have a more aggressive offset fitment which means you might have to run a different setup, if you want it more uniform.

I didn't drill through the hole, the Perrin one you just remove the cap and bolt right up to the tow hook mount.

I wonder how bad the hole will look upon removing the plug all together. guess i'll never know until i buy it lol

Mine didn't vibrate and I did not notice any vibrations. You can see the picture, the hole is not very noticeable, also it covered by the Perrin plate holder, you really have to looking at hole at a odd angel to see it.

@Pekingduck
Hey has the lowered suspension altered the ride quality at all? I want to lower mine but am unsure as I don't want to upset the beautiful balance Toyota has created. If it hasn't messed anything up could you give me a link to the lowering springs you bought and also how much they were to get installed. (If you don't mind my asking)

I think it great after I lowered my suspensions, especially after I finally got through my break in period. I think it just enhances my experiences over all, but if you are not a fan of harsh ride you want to look at their less aggressive springs set. You can find it through many local dealer or even Evasive Motorsports since they are a forum sponsor.

I brought my car there this week and they were doing test fitment on a new coilover, but they wanted to make more revision to their coilover. I am anticipating when i can get them on the car.
