Spring Teaser! Updated see first post

LOL this is probably teasing me more than you guys just because the weather is now permitable to start putting the things on the car. Nothing too special, in case its hard to see shown in the pic is: TRD kit (formally on the Red Knight Thanks Gabe!), toyota brake pads, Brembo rotors, my wood trim to be painted the color of my car, my rims which will be getting new tires, and black caliper paint. I plan on repainting the calipers and putting all the brake stuff on this weekend as well as shave all my emblems off since I got the kit. Next week Im dropping the kit and wood trim off to get painted and Im going to purchase new tires the following weekend. So by the end of the month look for pics! Im pretty excited, because spring here and ive been really anxious to get the kit and rims back on. Especially since everyone is getting their cars out from the winter this past weekend. Saw a Lambo and a few Vipers out and about.

UPDATE
I got everything installed accept the kit. I had a setback which delayed me. But now I am at the last step. As soon as weather permits and I have time look for a new thread coming soon!

LOL that TV is sentimental to me. It was my parents first TV when they got married so its older than I am. But it still works! Im trying to see how long it lasts. Its kindof like a Toyota in a way. Its just my bedroom TV, but I am lacking in the TV department. Here is my main TV.

I plan on getting a flat screen next fall with wedding money!

As for the Corvette and Camaro posters, I used to be a big GM fan. I used to have a Camaro. In fact my solara replaced the Camaro because I couldn't afford to keep it running. At that time I was so fed up with GM because I was tired of fixing my car and my Parents cars which were all GM and GM didn't make anymore cars that appealed to me that I could afford so I gave Toyota a shot. I actually felt weird looking at a toyota logo on my steering wheel for the first few months of driving it, because I felt like a traitor to GM. Then I saw Happy Aggies car and I saw the light. So far its almost completely converted me to a Toyota guy! I plan on seeing how long the Solara will last just like my TV! I still really like Vettes, F-Bodies, and GTO's, but I would only own one as a second car. Since I already did the F-Body thing I would probably only buy a Vette now. Which is very possible now, because now Im finished with College and it really paid off because now I could afford a used C5! LOL thanks for getting me off topic :lol:

This is great news! Can't wait to see it painted and installed!

LOL @ Mark's comments. The GM posters, TV and nightstand lamp were the first items I spotted. Kudos on the stack of tires in the bedroom. That is the sign of a Man-Zone.

Awesome man, I can't wait to see pics of this!

-I too felt weird about driving a Toyota, I was a GM fan (still kinda am) I had a 1984 Chevy S-10 Tahoe truck, a 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado with the bulletproof 3.8L, and then a 1990 Chevy C1500 350/700R4. All awesome cars, never had major issues with them, and none at all with the olds.

I had a TV like that, I think it was from 1985 (maybe earlier), got rid of it in 1998 for a Philips Magnavox :-?
