nice bush-fix :-P

He bashes the pine cone hard enough to break it in half on my car, then picks up another one and runs around my car rubbing it everywhere. He gets round my car and runs out of my yard. At that point his mom has walked down the street to find her son. And I'm yelling at the kid "Why would you do that?" His mom asks what he did, so I told her. She said she was going to keep a better eye on him. He is only nine years old, but is the same height and weight as me. (I'm small) My wife watched the whole "event" out the window; and said she was proud of me for being as calm as I was, for not cursing, and for not grabbing or touching the kid.


In the light, there are some scratches that I have not tried to buff out yet.


I mean WTF, go scratch your moms minivan!!!
I would have asked the mother for her insurance details...she's responsible for her kid and to teach him the value of property...especially someone else's property!

Can you share a link from where you ordered them?

Because the rear is more sunk in.

at what mileage?

You might like to fit Whiteline KDT925 to make shifts more positive and reduce take-off lurch.

Note the diff bushings movement which are reduced by the KDT925 with no increase in NVH [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDfJ_zYFPcs&t=112s[/ame]

Did someone say spacers?

20mm front, 25mm back.

A few other small goodies:

User's Manual case for a tidy glove box (this is generic Toyota, but it's sporty looking, too bad the red stitch/orange stitch is a bit of a clash).

And finally, LED reverse bulbs from VLEDS:

I think most people run different sizes for looks making the wheels flush for the most part, but I definitely felt a difference in the handling. So for me, it was defintely worth it

A difference in handling from 5mm difference? Or simply because of the spacers? I can't imagine you'd feel any difference from simply 5 more mm...
