I like those clear lens for the courtesy light. Never understood the red lens...

Header wrap looks solid!

Not so sure on that rear visor...its looks off for some reason on your car...might be the coloring..

Edit: Annnd I just realized I reply'd and missing the most recent page...ah well.

hahahha, well yeah that might help. but thank you anyways.

Not sure if you still have it arranged that way, but please buy a proper tie-down for the battery. It's not fun when the battery shifts and as a result, the positive connection is compromised and hello, no power steering nor much brake response. See how that suits in the middle of a turn in traffic. Camry has a workable bolt and tie-down assembly, harvest from junkyard.

yeah, been meaning to replace that. but i've never had a problem with it so far. I don't go offroading but yes, safety first.

I'm gonna go to the junkyard again once it gets warm but if I don't find one I might hit you up on it.

well got my TRD rears in and put them on this past weekend.

there were imperial jade mica green which wasn't too far off of my stock green so I threw them on and it looks pretty damn good.
now if only the weather would cooperate and stop being jack@zz I could wash my car and take some pics cuz that's all we care for. hahaha

[cheela]

well, an update I guess. not much but here's a pic of my TRD spats.
car looks much dirtier in person. hahaha



gawd! that exhaust looks tiny. I think it needs to go.

[richee3]

Sexy!

[cheela]

thanks! nowhere as sexy as yours but it's gettin there.

[Lil-Joe101]

Very nice, and yes your right about that exhaust

[ILoveMySilly97]

I forgot which forum I asked you this but how'd you install it? Did you use the same holes for the mudflaps and used a self tapping screw and drilled it into the rear bumper? Did you remove the old strip of adhesive and replaced it with double sides tape?

Sorry for asking so many questions but I'm about to get my painted and out on.

lol, yeah if you look underneath your bumper there should already be a screw that is in place where it will attach. and then I just used doublesided tape along the edges. had to remove the old tape but just a blowdryer and some goo gone will do. yea, i just used the holes for the mudflaps. just found some random nuts and bolts to hold them on for now but yeah ideally self tapping screws would be best. I didn't drill the bottom hole into the bumper at all because there was no need. as long as you mount it on flush and tight it should be fine. and you and me both got OEM/JDM ones too, not replicas so fitment is perfect. let me know if you need clarification on anything else.

[ILoveMySilly97]

I thought so. I looked under my rear bumper and there were no holes besides the two holes all the way in the middle of the bumper but that's too far to reach for my splitters. I'll just bolt it in to the same holes as my mud flaps and use 3m double sided tape.

just a recent picture, nothing new. just driving and lovin' it.
