Thoughts?!?!?!
I like either of the carbon fiber ones. I was going to make one on my lathe out of aluminum but I'm think any metal will be too hot in the summer time.

Your car looks great. I really like mine with the Five Axis spoiler. In my opinion it has more angled lines that match the angles of the car better than some of the trunk lid spoilers do. I bought mine form this guy on Ebay. He was great to deal with and he stocks all of the colors.

You are very right about the summer heat with aluminum..... If i know ill be gone and the car will sit there for a bit, you can do 2 things so you can have the shift knob you want....
1. Put a sunglass fabric case over the knob
2. this is what i do and i just take the knob off and throw it under my seat

I think this would be a great introduction to full blown track days (full size courses) without the often ridiculous expense and in a relatively low stress environment. I'd like to gauge interest while I await an email from the owner of the track about details.
Count me in. I'd love to get on that track.

I vote neigh. This car doesn't seem, to me at least, to lend itself well to lots of purely visual extraneous decor modifications. Personally, I see this car as aiming for function over form in its design, in its construction (come on, yaris interior anyone) so adding the vestiges of the hellaflush/stance crowd to this car seems to diminish it in some way. But that's my opinion.

That being said, if you're adding said bike rack to actually haul said bike to and from places where you ride it, by all means. If it's practical in its application, obviously that's different than if you're only adding said bike rack (and bike) for visual appeal rather than actually using it.

I jusr bought rear tops hats from robispec, $295 before shipping.

He will want to know the o.d. of the thread portion of the shaft, the length of the threaded section, and the height of the nut.
