    Now I gotta figure out how to plug the hole in the hatch or maybe seal it and do a vinyl wrap.
    Anybody here have experience with the pearl white vinyl... is it even somewhat close to our 070 BP paint?

    At my Toyota Dealer in the back parking lot. Replacing the A/C condenser myself & gonna have them charge it all up.

    Here's the kicker......they normally charge 4.5 hrs to replace the A/C condenser. That = just over $500.

    It took me 1 hr to replace :lol:

    I feel like most of us bought a roof spoiler just to cover up that hole.

    It's not just cosmetic. It's a safety upgrade. It's totally worth it. (y)

    Found a white nylon plug for the nozzle hole. Took a while to trim it, trial and error until it clipped into place nicely. I had some white 1" double stick trim tape and used that to finally mount it to the car. Seems to look ok in the garage but I haven't pulled the car into the sun yet.
    I won't snap the interior trim back on until I wash the car and test it for leaks tomorrow morning.

    This is the best investment you can buy for the car. I freaken love these mirrors. The quality is just amazing as well as the fitment. They come with the turn signal as well but I didn't want to install them (too much lights for me). Now I see beyond the blind spot and cool blue lens prevents bright headlight in the rear from blinding me in the night. THE JDM mirrors price are a bit too pricy in my opinion.
    Here's the link. Enjoy guys!!!

    Just be careful of using any chemicals on or close to the mirrors! Got my car detailed for ToyotaFest 2015 and to my surprise I noticed spots on the mirror. This was due to some type of Armor All that was carried over from wiping the tires down. Of course they will not mention that in the instructions :cautious: Oh well
