Finally got the whole TRD kit on, regardless of the fact that it's unpainted. I will be painting it, along with the entire car as soon as I figure out what color I want to go with. Won't be too far off from the current OEM silver (G1U). Thinking of painting it Silver Ignition (J8A) with a bit more hue of blue. Loving it's current state so far. Also ordered a set of Advan Apex V601's in 265/35/18 from Amazon, and it was supposed to arrive today but due to COVID-19 it has gone through a bit of delay which is totally understandable. Will be ordering a bit more exterior pieces in the next few days to compliment/complete the TRD kit.

Current look as of today with the new 265/35 Advan Apex V601'S mounted to my TE'S. Had to fiddle with ride height and front camber due to excessive rubbing on the frame rail when full locking but got it to sit perfect, my way. Loving the way it looks, and feels much more better than my last tire setup.

I also had placed a pre-order on a set of Desmond Regamaster Evo 2 in a Gloss White finish, 18x9.5 +40. Same specs as my SL's. Will most likely be running the same exact tire/tire specs on these too. Can't wait for them to come in!!.....in about 3-3.5 months haha....
