Thanks!

Most immediate plans are purely perfromance:

- TRD Muffler
- FSTB, RSB, Springs (not sure what combo but not going to spring for TEIN system just yet! ;)

Wheels/tires are going to have to wait a bit I'm afraid. GF says we need some new furniture first! :lol:

Coming Along

Postby JMSinMaryland » Sun Feb 26, 2006 5:57 pm

Just a few suggestions. Might be nice to remove as many emblems that don't have holes on the trunk, I think the T is the only one that does and if you want have matching TRD emblems in the grill and on the trunk. Jon.

Both the Toyota "T" ans "Solara" have holes in the deck lid. However, teh Toyota and "SLE V6" are just attached by adheasive.

The mods look great! Keep up the good work.

LOL! :lol: Those are called 1/4-20 Carriage Bolts that I pressed-fit into the holes! ;)

I like the SLE V6 on the trunk - just didn't like the "TOYOTA" lettering along with the big-a$$ Logo - and I definitely like the cleaner grille on the front end. I've already had a few people ask me about the car in the parking lots already too.

Thanks for all your comments! Can't wait to go to the next level, but there won't be much to show - mostly "go"!
