    it's actually just plasti-dip :D, a temporary thing Ive had on for a few months now with no issues of getting pulled over. Still waiting for a good time to switch to Valenti SDs with a good explanation to the woman...

    Yeah, the lower white connectors and side black connectors were on the tail lights when I received them. I heard from other people that these don't come with the tail lights and that you have to transfer them from your old tail lights.

    Thanks for the video, I'll be watching this a few times till this weekend to make the installation easier. Cheers!

    Here she is, completed the rear suspension install last night. Didn't slam it too low. Just enough to fit a finger in the wheel well all around. Installing the wheels after I get around to washing her.

    BC Racing BR Type Gold Coilovers
    W/30 way adjustable dampening.
    Drop in front: 2"
    Drop in rear: around 1.5
    Dampening set to the middle at 15 on all four corners.

    Thanks everyone who have helped with advice! Honestly couldn't have done it without you fellow members. After a year of ownership, she's finally dropped. I feel cool now, lol.

    Yeah. my other tails had them already, so I figured I would help you avoid the pain that it is removing those white clips at the bottom.

    Yea I just ordered mine and I see now why I should have gotten the more expensive one. But actually, for a $1k genuine leather wheel, I can buy five more of these and still make it out on top! I wonder if a company could repair the leather??? Sean you ready to be the guinea pig for this : -)

    Couldn't wait till the weekend, so luckily I had a day off and installed the Valenti's this morning. Watched the video a couple of times and dove right in, very easy install, took about an 45 mins. My daughter said the Prii looks so much better. Thank you @munkeeboi!

    Running lights.

    Not bad for 160k but depending on when it started wearing $350 May not be bad with custom stitch/higher quality leather
