Thanks.
Drill and i added tape for extra security. To be honest i'm not even sure if i did it right. Or if any one has tips on how you installed your side skirts i'd like to know. My left side skirt is half-assed installed, i didn't drill two of the holes but it's holding ok enough for now until i can get it done. The right side is on pretty good, all holes drilled into it.

I'm not big into drilling into a relatively new car. There was no instructions included so i basically went off the HT Autos install on Koru's blog. Problem is the hardware is different so i had to wing it with the drilling. It includes 4 bolts with nuts and a bunch of small screws. My question is how do i attach the nut to the bolt? unlike the front bumper you can't exactly get inside to screw it on or put the bolt inside or am i just overlooking it?

I will probably have to run by the hardware store to get better screws to keep things secured.

Don't know if serious? Assuming you are serious, you probably would not rub if going in a straight line with fenders rolled...but if you turned the wheel and the car leaned for a turn you would probably rub a bit/lot. Maybe add a little camber?

Not enough tuck if you ask me but it seems a lot of people want hellaflush or a lot of poke.

I was about to freak out and wonder how the hell you got those wheels then I realized you're in Australia and Regamasters are relatively easy to come by there. More pics and specs please. You tease so well.

EDIT: Nvm. Stalked your profile and found it. Those look amazing!

I did my toyota flip key today. Bought it from Ebay 2 weeks ago. Paid less then 20$ including shipping (Canada) and professionnel key cutting.

First tought, feels a bit cheap in hand but looks good and very small in pockets.

It took me around 20 mins to get the chip out of the shell of my original key. I used a heat gun and it went pretty well. You can view a video youtube of the installation you need to make ( [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlmjV7oRvlA"]Toyota Flip Key - www.duplicatekeys.in - YouTube[/ame] ) I did the same but I didn't use the valet key for the chip.

Final thought, worth the 20$ invested!
