    What do you guys think about a blue version of this kit but with a TRD rear lip and my florecent wheels? I already have the mirrors painted black to match the black front end.

    Just installed Tanabe lowering springs and brace. The rears are sitting really nice with spacers but the front still has too much gap. I will be looking into a air suspension.

    That kit will look good.

    If you wanna go with air and are willing to spend, check out air runner systems.

    Or get my tein coil overs :p

    How do you like the Tein coilovers? I would rather get something that not everyone can get. Nothing against coilovers of any brand but I like to try to do things a little different.

    Totally see where you are coming from.

    The Teins are really nice, ride well, good range of adjustable height, and dampening adjustments. All in all, a quality product that's made in japan.

    Some of Teins items are made in China now. Only ones still from Japan are the expensive parts.o_O

    That's a bummer... :/

    The street advance I have for sale are made in Japan. Can't say the same about the cheaper basics.

    Finally installed the window visors from Toyota Japan. I was hesitant to put it on. I was worried it was going to be too big and make it look funky. I like the way it looks. The visors are close to the glass and doesn't stick away from the body too much. The material is really thick and feels solid. There is a video on youtube of someone running it over and it didn't crack. With wheel fitment and gap issue finally resolved, I have a 2 sheet of paper clearance in the rear. It doesn't rub with a little weight in the rear but a fulkl grown adult will make it rub. So this is a 2 passenger or less. LOL!

    visors look good, but can't justify the extra cost for OEM - looks like $275 US on ebay shipped (yikes!) vs around $30-40 for after market ones...

    Finally got to install the Beat-Sonic USA bcam7 and their harness. The image quality is awesome and instruction for the harness made it easy to install.

    I like the no drilling - does they have the "guidelines" available too? When you plugged it into the harness, did it plug it directly (straight)? No weird wiring stuff? :)

    Yup, it was direct plug in. I had a prototype made for me from Japan and it was a perfect fit just like the production harness. Beat Sonic makes excellent quality parts. Though to beat especially with their price point. Highly recommended!!!

    Just purchased a new Toyota leather steering wheel of a 2013 Prius C. The 2012 only comes with the cheap plastic one even from a package 4. Installing it sometime this week and just installed the HID reverse lights as well.

    It turned out good. Easy install and was able to hid the balast on the frame. I smoked out the tail light so I needed something brighter than the factor or LED bulb.
