Havent really updated here. Got a 12' sub/amp and just ordered rokkor coils. I was dropping my dad off somewhere and I never told him about my sub. He opened my trunk and was like "WTF".

Ratcityrain, that looks awesome, as for how I am going to finish it... First I need to cut some grooves in the back to fit the flexible LED strips from Oznium, then resin it, body fill and glaze it, then I am going to paint it a satin black. My friend who is a machinist is going to make me some 1" long stand offs, then I am going to mount it to the interior of the back hatch. but before I do THAT I am going to cover the plastic piece with 1/4" foam and the red cf vinyl that you may have seen in some earlier posts of mine.

Build them how you see them in your head....I always have been that way....every car I ever had....by day 2 I had a picture of what to do with it...lol.
This year we got a lot of neat changes with all the new people and that to me is the best....and a lot of our oldtimers have changed what they are doing as well,like Kanchi....he has so patiently waited to build his car....and now after a bunch of years it is where his picture in his head was....well mostly...
I enjoy building things and it keeps my ADHD in line....and I really like to see what others build.
Even I am gonna step up this year and take a poor Yaris way over the top...but my build is also gonna be simple...other than ADHD I got a case of the lazy butt...lol....
Keep the great ideas coming.....cause if I ahve to look at the same cars,that no one has changed a thing on for the last 3 years I am gonna snap.....lol.....
the build to me is always the best part....

When I first got them they were hard to to see next to you but, I went to walmart and got some convex mirrors and stuck on. I can now see with a wide angle, just having to get used to smaller mirrors

going down to porch orchard in the morning to meet up with Sykotik 616 and then heading up to Scott's (Big Sexy) place and getting 8000k HID's, ultra bright tail lights for my blacked out tails, super white license plate lights, and trading my exhaust for a TRD exhaust so i got a couple neat changes.
next I'm getting FIG grilles and some APT or OEM fog lights

. I am running on stockies right now though. For now, I probably wont lower it as much as I want, but enough to get the feel for the car and learn to drive a lowered car, going over speedbumps, parking and not going over the concrete bump, etc.Yeah, midnight tinting I believe are the people I am trying to go to. I need more money though.
