I wonder what would happen if you rubbed the lettering off with Iso alcohol or something similar...being ultra careful of course.

The letters are cleared over. That was my first thought.

If you look real hard, and have a good imagination, the TRD logo looks like a person squatting over a japanese toilet, sideways.

You're gonna tell me that the Japanese didn't see it too? Each time I see 'TRD' I read 'Turd'..

First time in a year I just released the clutch (2nd gear) too early, call it as a dump the clutch, car shook completely. Will there be an issue? Thanks.

Please, can you update us with the final wiring of the DRL? Are you gonna use the switch that it comes with or will you wire it to the boomerangs?

Thanks

Grady, May I ask for the instruction? I see that it’s Japanese but it’s fine. Would be great if you could attaché it here

Thanks

Swapped out my knob with a 280g teardrop knob and the lockout collar tonight, both from shift solutions co. Dealing with the punch pin was a major pain in the ass even with a proper 3/32" punch and hammer...

Have not come to a final decision on wiring. I am gong to look into grounding them thru a transistor attached to the turn signal so they will flash opposite.
