    i wish i had time too >< soo busy with work, this weekend is the first time in a while I had time to mod my car, haha, light modding though. If I don't have time to do this I might just buy the carbon fiber kit from CAR ID like Hawaiianbuilt's wooden dash interior kit.

    I had a full Toyota clear bra installed. The installer did a terrible job and I had forgotten to touch up existing rock chips before install. :(

    There’s a picture of the instruction on page 64. They plug in to the trunk light on the left for power.

    Installed some new Sylvania headlamp bulbs. $70 was the cost for the shop to install.

    Appears 50% brighter. Fingers crossed on how long they last.

    Yes sir, all the wires are hidden behind the trim panels and through the rubber wire loom on the rear hatch. That's why I went to Alex's shop to have them installed. He did a great job of running all the wiring. Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the install, just the finial result.
    Looking forward to seeing your ride at Toyota Fest here in Long Beach. Hope you find time to make it down. :D

    Hi PC!
    Not sure where to put this, so here it goes...

    I have a neighbor that has one of those large Mercedes SUV's. One night when he opened the doors, I saw some LEDs under the running boards come on. I thought that was neat, so I had an Idea...


    I bought some white LEDs on a Spool from ebay:

    I wired them into the Puddle lamps of the JDM Mirrors.

    A quick photo:

    (Gif software messed up colors, but this is it!)

    My wife is not into mods, but she thinks the car looks like its floating when the lights come on.
