That looks cool with the wheels as well. Who is the manufacture of your wheels? Were did you get the front fender side vents? And were they hard to install?

^What he said

Enkei Raijins are in Hyper Silver. The TRD fins are the black ones, not Carbon. But they're metallic black, very sparkly. I love them. I got them from eBay and they come in all kinds of colours. Installation takes less than a minute. Use something like a spatula (I used the kitchen kind) wrapped with a cloth to pop off the old ones, peel the adhesive strip on the new ones and pop them in.

The main reason I got the TRD carbon ones is because they use the OEM clips and some double sided tape. I wanted the reassurance of them clipping in versus the knockoffs that apply over the top of the existing garnish.

Mine clipped in as well, so they're not the overlays but replacement items.

Yep, exactly. Sorry if my post was confusing, I didn't mean that only the CF version clip in, but any of the official TRD ones clip in. It's just the cheap knockoff ones that go over top of the existing one.

Tom those fins can be bought in any of the factory colours. I could have bought them in M7Y, but I thought black would be better. You can get it in white for your car. But make sure you google some pics before you buy. I saw pictures of a red car with the red fins and they kind of drowned in all the red. But the black fins really stand out. When I pull up beside a car, right away they look at the fins and it's often the first thing people ask me about when looking at my car. So it's good to get them in a contrasting colour.

Btw, this is my third variation... more subtle changes coming... Final will have more of a roll at the top bends instead of the harder angles. Will most likely be polished. I'm also planning on having some text CNCed on the sides and backed with a colored plate. I'm debating the text right now.
Might want to consider laser etching/engraving instead.

I don't have that machine at work... but we do have a Gravo. Our Gravo could engrave as well. Free sounds so much better though...

Yeah I know with your wing ect your going for a more two toned look. Saw a few painted ones after searching looks too over the top.


Was also thinking just buying the cheap $80 ones on fleabay and sanding down the fin to be a little more suttle. Take it down from 2" to an 1"
