    Bummed... Sold my OEM 15s this morning before work. The guy just texted me saying there's a crack right in the middle of the tread and sent me this pic. Never knew it was there, and discount tire didn't say anything when they mounted my new wheels. Guess I'm gonna have to reprice them for just the wheels with 3 tires as a bonus.

    car is still in the collision & autobody shop. but in the mean time, checkout hybridpit.com they updated their site and added a lot of things that are harder for us to get here in the US usually. Especially when you are not from CA!


    I don't work for them so I am not biased or anything. Some of the things you can find cheaper elsewhere, but things like the Blitz throttle controller, rear camber plates, and G's parts.. it got me intrigued. Hope they keep adding more. *cough, cough... more exhaust options, cough cough* :D

    Complete G's headlight assembly for $2,350 :eek:. I thought you can get them off auction + shipping for like $1,200?

    yea you can definitely find a few things cheaper. for example, I found the Injen Cold Air Intake on eBay a lot cheaper. But definitely a site that made my modding list a bit bigger.

    The yahoo.co.jp auctions can be hit & miss. It might be worth the extra expense to be certain you're getting a complete setup with the adapter cables. :confused:

    It is usually a Hit or Miss on bidding on G Sports headlights through Yahoo.co.jp Auctions. Being that the Headlights are coming from wrecked cars and may be missing parts / scratched lens and of course the notorious broken mounting tabs that seem to be quite familiar for purchasing used G Sports Headlights. I got lucky and scored me a pair of Headlights that only had a broken mounting tab and a couple of scratches that could be buffed out.

    That price is for the complete set directly from Toyota of Japan - which may be due to its high cost.

    Ah, makes sense. I'm pretty ignorant about JDM parts other than what I've seen on yahoo auctions... And I can't read nipponese

    I see it this way....when u buy via buyee u can only rely on the posted pics. Most of them are used & ull never know what ur gonna get till u get them.

    Being able to get them locally from a trusted source......priceless

    I've already gotten a lot of items from hybridpit.

    Toms STB
    Cusco RSB to replace the 1 I bent (umm...ran over... :eek:)
    Injen Intake
    2nd Gen Signal Mirrors
    Adjustable LED Flasher Relay

    They may not reply to all phone calls or my email but every time I've placed an order, it's delivered within a few days.

    Pulled the front fenders this morning for more clearance when she's aired out. Will install the rears with -3 camber plates that I ordered from Kyoei-USA.

    Few more mods to come within the next couple of weeks. Haven't washed her in a while, so she'll have a well deserved bath tomorrow:)
