    LOL, how is it that I've missed this thread?

    After a day-long trip to the San Diego Zoo with the lady and family, I was able to install my 5000K Xentec HID kit and modded the bulbs to eliminate the ground shadow issue (to think I was gonna shell out more than $100 for a set of HID kit...).

    Also got confirmation from mitaccessories on eBay that my pedals has shipped:

    Yes, but do it after 1k miles to let the springs settle. Anything before is just a waste of money & maybe ur tires

    I totally agree about the settling. It had stopped raining for a little while last night, from our latest hurricane onslaught, so I decided to make a run to Walmart. Well, I have part of a wooden privacy fence post laying on the floor of the garage to bump my tires against so I know when I've pulled up far enough (blindest car EVER), and my coilovers have settled even lower over the last week cause I had to carefully 'drag' the front of my car across it to get it out from under the car. Hopefully the settling is about over, cause I was actually worried about my rear tires rubbing after I loaded everything in the back of the car to come back home. So, they definitely DO settle, and settle, and settle! lol

    is the rear underbrace necessary if the TRD rear swaybar is installed ?

    ePrius, you should post some pics of your car, especially that glossy black vinyl wrap :)

    I guess it couldn't hurt cause it will stiffen the chassis more and plus it is one of the cheapest mod out there.
