LOL! Thats better than buying $70 parts every few months. Did you remove that whole plastic elbow piece or how do you get your front bumper off if you need to?

Yeah I actually glued the sidemarker surface to the metal part of the bumper that the bolt went into. Light and plug are completely gone.
It still snaps into place well enough and all the rest of the bolts still hold the bumper on perfectly. My bumper is off right now, I'll try to get a picture of how it's glued after work today if I remember

Here's a the photo of my sidemarker holding strong after the bumper had a long day

Daaaang, that snow is no joke. I think I'll probably being moving in this direction if (when) the bumper eats something else. I'd much rather be saving money for different mods than sidemarkers, over and over and over again. Thanks for the pro-tip.

Some shots recently taken. The over-under photo is dirty-clean. One is of all our cars (projects). The other is the most recent.

dude, im glad i clicked your build thread! i love what youve done, SUPER clean, i love the mag blue wheels on the silver body. its mind blowing how aesthetic these cars are on nice wheels, dropped a little, and some lips/skirts. i know youve done a lot more to the car than that, but i can appreciate a subtle understated mature aesthetic. making me want to go back.

Thank you sir! Yea I’d like to go a little lower but I’m not motivated to get the alignment just yet.

Yea, my first choice was actually something completely different but I stumbled across these for a steal and couldn’t pass them up. I was hesitant at first, I’m happy with it now.

I think it looks great.

Glad I stumbled onto your build thread as well. I've been eyeing the TK-style/Aeroworkz front lip for a while, and it's nice to finally see it mounted on a full car (only other photos I could find were just mounted to a plain bumper). It looks fantastic! Subtle and flows so well, it could pass as OEM, just what I'm looking for.

And thumbs up on the Magnesium Blue wheels as well, great contrast against the silver body.

Agreed. I haven’t been able to find TK style side skirts and I just recently saw the rear ‘canards’ from them but wasn’t as impressed as I was with the front. Looking back I wish I would have gone full CF.

Some more aesthetics... First big CF part is in SEIBON trunk lid Type CSL.



One of my Valenti tail lights somehow got some condensation in it after 2 years - this particular side had 3 bad LEDs so it was time. I opted for the BuddyClub v2s this time:





Need to update the mods list. The hood is coming next week!!!

[Tomm]

The hood arrived! Now its time to start thinking about the power plant and undercarriage aero.

Also the 4Runner is starting to take shape.
