Thanks for all the opinions, starting to grow on me more but I still feel like something has to be added to it, it looks too simple (if that makes sense)

Rims are Rota Grids, 18x9.5/8.5. I personally don't understand the point of $4000 wheels unless you make stupid money (which being a Home Depot employee, I most definitely don't)

Took my antenna off and brought it in to Home Depot, they have a display where you can find what size it is by trying it on different nuts. Believe it was a 6mm plug. Make sure you get one thats coated because my first one wasnt and it rusted. I never use the radio anyway so I honestly couldnt tell you if it still works.

Thanks. I've been thinking of doing this because even if I wanted to listen to the radio, I can't. Damned mountains. I'll probably pick this up tomorrow

The rims look amazing, I think the lug nuts gives it a really nice look.

A.) Wrong side...
B.) Not far enough towards outside...
I too am a fan of the single stripe!
Plan "B" is to run a single down the center and end it in a point or spearhead surrounding the nose badge, then finish it all off with a fat pinstripe border in a contrasting color. ( white car....red, blue or gold perhaps ) God speed!

This looks freaking awesome! I love how you started the stripe at the side marker.

Agreed. The stripe definitely looks WAY better in person. I've seen your car three or four times on the street and I gotta say it looks pretty sick. (I'm in the Valencia area). The last time I've seen your car was the other day and I think you added two thin stripes on each side of the fat line which looks even better IMO.

BMHumanic, I sent you a PM btw.

Doing something unique with it for Toyotafest/TORC! Love how it turned out, also makes it wayyyy easier to peel the sticker stack off for DD. When I peel it and reapply it ill probably add a small stripe to the side.
