More updates...

35% tint, thanks to Norb @ Carbox Industries. Look him up if you want a great tint at a great price.

Clear markers finally installed with amber leds.

Chrome bulbs front and rear.

Sorry that some of the pics are washed out... I'll take some better ones closer to sunset.

I've got a pretty sweet update for today... First round of TRD test-fit parts were installed!

TRD Cat-back Exhaust
TRD Lowering Springs
TRD Sway bars (front & rear)
TRD Air Filter
Bongiovi DPS Audio Upgrade

Now for some installation pics:

colHolm · 08-09-2012, 11:03 PM

Installation complete.

Love the way those exhaust tips fill up the exhaust well. How's the ride with the new springs?

colHolm · 08-09-2012, 11:09 PM

The exhaust sounds f'n amazing. Deep tone, no rasp. Has a hint of that subie burble that usually comes from UEL headers. It's even got some nice little pops and backfires on hard deceleration.

I like the springs - I wish they were a bit lower for aesthetics. Ride is firmer, but not jarring.

The sway bars have reduced what little body roll the factory suspension had, and turn in definitely feels sharper.

I didn't get a chance to push it very hard today as it was raining... but I will say the car is easier to rotate!

All in all, today was a good day!

colHolm · 08-09-2012, 11:13 PM

Oh, and the Bongiovi DPS upgrade really wakes up the factory speakers. IMHO, great bang for your buck upgrade.

BRZer86 · 08-10-2012, 02:32 AM

I love the shape of the exhaust tips but the springs are a bit disappointing, I thought they would sit a little lower. They may have to break in but still nice overall setup. I hope wheels are next on your list.

Wheels will be spring next year.

So how much am I looking at for just those three - installed, tax in, etc.

I plan on getting them installed at some point and will need to pace out these upgrades for my wallet's sake. I haven't seen pricing for the stuff anywhere.

I can't give you an accurate idea... Pricing hasn't been finalized that I know of, and big part of the reason for this test fit was to evaluate installation time.

Once the information is available, I will be sure to share it with everyone here.

Awesome stuff! We should meet up, I want to hear how the exhaust sounds... Also, what is the height drop from the springs?

I can't yet comment on the drop of the springs officially - these are pre-production pieces. There may be revisions prior to production release. Once everything is official, I'll be sure to share it!

That being said, it is a mild drop, but noticeable compared next to a stock car.
