    I love iOttie. their stuff really does stick and never budges. I tried my work iPad and my Acer Windows tablet:

    last but not least... here's the engine bay at its current state for now. Something with Samco and metal hoses should be later in the Summer...

    Where'd you get these - and does it require any mods to fit? I thought that I remember reading that....

    got it from here. There IS a fitment issue with the inverter cover. A tab on the right will not go down due to a metal grounding plate in the way. I sort of ignored it for now until I can find that post again on what they did. Everything else fits like a glove.

    here: you can see the JDM models do not have any clearance issues on the right side of the inverter:

    I really like black roofs, but I'm scared that it will make the car hot.

    I've had mine painted for over 2yrs & haven't noticed any difference.

    Does that mean that it doesn't get a lil hotter than a non black roof........no........it just means that it's not a noticeable difference.

    Washed, put some cheap eBay window visors on, and did a horrible job placing some white reflective tape along the outside of the stock 15" wheels. :rolleyes:

    Want to drop it next, but can't decide on TRD or Tein. Leaning more toward Tein but not sure if I'll regret going that low.

    I thought I lost this little piece for my inverter cover from an admirer from Long Beach & luckily my daughter found it. So I plasti-dip'd & installed this custom made piece. It cleans up that empty spot on that cover.

    I went a little nuts when I couldn't find it, so I stopped looking. After a week, my daughter found it on a stack of junk mail. That would've been an expensive loss especially when the junk mail was almost tossed. I owe my daughter a double chocolate chip frap (lol)!
