Have been trying to decide whether to go with the steering wheel. I understand the airbag remains as is but still on the fence whether I'm going to go with the expense or not.

I do like the gear stick boot cover with the red that matches the TRD wheel.

Oh gawd. It's too much, all those red stripes make my eyes burn. Should help you keep the handbrake and gear shifter oriented straight ahead...

I hope you have a really thorough and meticulous tech doing all these installs....so many nuts and bolts that could be left improperly tightened, and other things that could be forgotten...my ocd is making me nervous just thinking about it...

So will you be doing the full TRD body kit given that it looks you're heading that way or something else?

I like the TRD semi-bucket seats - the full race seats are too much. Too hard to get in and out of.

But, I went off the semi-buckets as you need to cancel a couple of the air bags. Mine is a daily driver and the last thing I want to do is remove any safety measures.

I saw online that the exhaust is actually less expensive than it was initially, that's good to see. You should do the GT/GT86 badges instead of the TRD ones, I might have missed it but you're not taking off the Series10 LED badges right?

Do you plan to install the JDM underbody aero panels? Not sure how much of a stickler you are on messing with the original paint but it'll require you to peel some protective underbody paint to access the mounting holes.

Ohhh, I saw you already posted a few times saying no body kit. But I'm referring to these JDM underbody aero panels. I notice your underbody video shows you just have the one black panel and the rest is uncovered whereas this is a 4 panel set. Underbody paint needs to be peeled to install them. The lowest marketed coefficient of drag (0.27cd) assumes these are installed with the stock spoiler. I think the value bumps to 0.28cd with just the rear spoiler/no under panels and 0.29cd with no spoiler/no underpanels.

Many of us have been getting this kit from japanparts.com. I think around $320 shipped but it's been awhile and the yen:USD conversion rate fluctuates.

Edit: Right now it's $269 shipped to where I am in the Midwest: http://www.japanparts.com/db/parts_d...=&SEARCH_page=

Something like this one might do but you might find one closer if you search TRD emblem or scroll through the above link.

Lucky for us here in New Zealand, even our base model comes with these panels!

I did see posted somewhere on the forum where you can get tem and surprisingly they weren't very expensive.
