I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the 3rd piece to the side of the steering wheel, the markings are painted on instead of embossed.

BTW: 1998 factory silver pieces are painted too, I've seen them wear out back to black. They too have the painted markings on the 3rd piece painted instead of embossed, it's weird, like the production lines, they forgot to put the markings in the mold or something?

I may just print 0 1 2 and make a stencil. I'll figure it out.


At the mechanical & tyre shop I found a guy who knows a little bit of history on my GT4, He tells me many professionals have worked on my car in the past including a Toyota employee who worked on it privately. I also found out that in the last 40,000 kms before I bought it somebody had neglected a cambelt change and oil change (Ironically my turbo blew up 1 week after I bought it with a report stating clogged oil galleries & contamination due to neglect) and apparently I'm not the 1st to have the turbo replaced in this GT4.

There is minor body damage on my car (L/Rear Guard & R/Front Guard) from someone having a parking accident 2 owners ago, though for some reason the front crash bar is bent even though I'm assured this car hasn't been in an accident.
