    I have my front badge wrapped with a carbon background like yours. Nice to see someone else have it, as for the cover to the tow hook, I've never thought about it, I think it looks sick, I'm going to copy that.

    Also, my front is plasti dipped, you seem to have the plastic cover. I like how the Piano finish looks (but little money), so I'm going to remove my Plasti-Dip and wrap that section alone. Thanks for the ideas!!!

    Also, did you paint the white on your grill or is that an install?!

    Sick C, you a have a lot of stuff that I like!!

    Heya, and thanks!

    I bought the chrome bits for the grille from this site:
    SEVENSEAS RakutenIchibaten | Rakuten Global Market: TOYOTA Aqua NHP10 early stainless steel front grille upper trim sharp front mask
    SEVENSEAS RakutenIchibaten | Rakuten Global Market: TOYOTA Aqua NHP10 early stainless steel front bumper grille mounting easy and clear reception
    Shipping is usually horrible unless you buy a lot of stuff all at once. Luckily I had a buddy bring them over via ship so I circumvented that issue.

    A US dude has them on fleabay if you prefer domestic sellers as well:

    Last night I installed a CURT hitch on my C4,,,to be used mainly to hold a bike rack.
    I've never installed a hitch where the bolts are in tension,,,on my G2 the hitch bolts are in shear which is a stronger connection I believe.
    Next mod will be the roof rack I think.
    Peace out...

    Tension is higher strength than shear.

    Assuming you have met the minimum thread engagement for the bolt, which should be a matter of choosing the right length bolt. Max shear is about .75 of max tensile strength for steel and most steel alloys. The pickup and suv hitches I have seen are bolted to the bottom of the frame in tension.

    Most are bolted down the side of the frame if body on frame nowadays

    Installed Rhino Rack with J-Style Folding Kayak carrier. They are sturdy, had them on my 2006 Prius for 8years. The new style I bought is nicer and dont hear any noise or whistle with this set. sunroof side opens great, but 'tilt-up" will hit the carrier attachment. (Dont usually use tilt) Like the flush design of the bar ends not sticking out. The Grooves under the racks grippers never seem to match Toyota seam lines but never had a problem of loose or dangerous transport

    @robbm3 How did you do your rear taillights? Nice.

    I've been thinking about plastidip on the sides but want the side cutout like yours.
