okay so i'm torn, should i do a light smoke on the LED? because that is the only thing that is 'chrome' or shiny on the front end besides the led strip in the headlight.

smoked vs stock

I think a light smoke would work well.

Is that an armrest I see in one of the above pics?

I have that Shadow Chrome kit but can't decide what to do with it, I was thinking of doing the stock Scion emblems with it then painting the letters whiteout. I also thought about maybe doing the chrome part of the tailights with the shadow chrome, maybe the interior door handles? What do you think?

i HATE chrome, so anyhting you can change and get rid og chrome, do it just be carefull, the shadow doesn't like to go on evenly onto rounded things.

and idk what your'e talking about as far as door handles? my door handles were some weird silver that i wrapped in alcantara.

snow anyone?

you can finally see the sharkfin installed, good shots of the headlights that i did, and i ended up painting the stockers black for winter, just looks so much better.

as for driving the car, with blizzaks its honestly was fine when i need it and then had a blast when i wanted with TC off. just drive slowly and if need be start in 2nd.
