Did a little soundproofing. ~640g of Dynamat in the trunk, and a before/after test drive with Decibel X Pro on my phone. Shows a teeny tiny ~1.5dB(A) decrease in similar conditions on my test loop. It does sound a bit different, too. I'll take it!

Was going for a short drive today and pulled up at a stop sign. As I'm about to make the left turn, I hear and feel a loud "boom" and felt my care get hit from the rear. I got out and though there was some minor cosmetic damage to the bumper, the trunk seems fine. Traded insurance information and filed a claim.
I'm pretty sad about the whole ordeal given it's my first auto collison and am worried about the car's resale value.

Put some sound deadening in the door cards, since I was taking them off to change the speakers for upgraded units.

Replaced the bumper mounts near the headlights. Cover never stayed on right after installing my CAI.

Those speakers seem sweet, but goodness that's a lot of money for a pair of speakers with a Toyota connector |

Truth is, once the door card is on, it's kept in place by the pressure between the inner door skin and the card. The tape is only there to keep it in place for the installation. I don't know how much the speakers cost in the US, but I got them for about $80 shipped, which seemed like a good enough deal. |

My plan was to connect them, and that's done .
Does the car have an OEM amp? I thought it didn't. |

the door speakers are powered from an amplifier in the trunk, under the floor mat, on the left side of the spare tire. that amplifier makes the door speakers work only as low frequency subwoofers. there's a 3" speaker and a tweeter in the dashboard that make up the difference of the rest of the audio signal. you'll likely need one of these adapters to bypass the amplifier by plugging this into the wire harness that plugs into the amplifier: https://parts.toyota.com/p/Toyota__/...T29618191.html in this guide, installation is on pages 8+9: http://toyotaparts.sparkstoyota.com/...190-20inst.pdf for a much cheaper option, you can purchase one of these harnesses and connect the wires yourself in the right order to make the same harness toyota sells for way too much. basically need to de-pin center 2 pins, then split each side to 4 pin groups, and connect to the identical pin position on the other side (top left goes to top left, top right goes to top right, etc) https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-W.../dp/B075FZ138Y

Euro cars are different then.
I'm positive there's no amp in the back, and there are only tweeters in the dashboard, the main "hump" of the dash grilles contains no speakers (of course, there are speakers in the door and rear cards as well). From what I saw, the signal goes straight to the tweeters, which filter the higher-pitched sounds and send the medium / bass to the door speakers. The rears do their thing and are pretty much useless. I simply plugged in the replacement speakers and tweeters supplied with the kit, and they worked immediately. The connectors are P&P. |

Ditched the TRD USA Quickshifter and went for the STi short shifter (thanks, @DarkSideFRS!) Didn't think it would make that big of a difference but it's night and day. Transmission build is complete now. ~
Also, the shifter bushing that comes in the TRD USA Quick Shifter kit is pretty nice, actually! Probably the one saving grace of the whole kit lol. I kept it in! |

Did you add some washers to the bushing bracket so they don't squeeze so hard? I believe the bushings are a bit robust and put too much pressure on the actual bar, which would explain why it squeezes the lube out and brings back the squeaking. Adding some washers to the brackets bolts releases some of that pressure.
