Not so Stock anymore :)VRD grille, Tint, Debadging *Pics*

So I took my bone stock 08' with less than 500 miles on it and just finished up my VRD Titanium grille, cf dash kit, added an s2k antenna, removed tc rear emblem, and had the windows tinted 5% all around and the whole front windshield 35%. heres some pix feel free to leave comments! oh yeah and dont pay attention to the dirtyness it needs to be waxed im using the Zaino as soon as it gets shipped to me.

As we all say to new owners, get it dropped! Other than that, it looks good.

Actually, there wont be any drop. Im doing a serious turbo setup(Turbo Toyotas Ver 2.1 Stage 3 GT turbo kit) and from what I've read the best suspension for 1/4 mile racing is the stock setup.. But I am getting a set of 17 inch rota gt3's black w/ polished lip.

PLEASE GET THE TRD DROP at least....I'd feel safer if you did that much....it's only a 1.25 drop all around...nothing major..

I can tell you right now, that the rear springs are way too soft to be the optimal choice for drag racing.

Looks good. Nice start.

As I tell all 'o8 headlight owners; you might look into some mirrored/chromed turn signal bulbs. Cleans up the headlights very nicely.

Thx for all the comments and to reply to a few:
yes the grille looks more blackish in indirect sunlight but blings pretty good in the sun!
thx for the turn signal suggestion ill get right on it.
And how much would the TRD drop run me and if itll make me scrape on ANYTHING I want nothing to do with it..
