But, they are lighter and slightly wider than stock. And they look killer! I bought them because of looks and the fact I can cruise around with them daily. My Enkei's might not like that kind of punishment (but I'm going to try).
No, Canadian models didn't either. That engine cover is from a Toyota Venza.

BUMP! More pics!
First up, the carbon engine goodies...Now with a detailed engine bay!
Before:
After:
And now my pride and joy...the wheels:
^What better place to do a before and after than at work!
And for those wondering...the grip is freakin unreal. The car refuses to let go no matter what. I'm going to really have to flog this thing to find it's limits now. Your basic on/off ramps to the highway just wont do it!
This is the first time driving on them, so this morning I found out there is a very light rub when turned to full lock and the car is under load (moving). Other than that, it steers fine and tracks straight. The steering response mind you is neck-breaking, but thats another story altogether!

It's looking REALLY good. Looks so much nicer than the stock scion, i cant believe the wheels and drop could make such a drastic change O:.
I think the rear wheels caliper should get a powder coat in red, to add that little touch and make it symmetrical.... Then again, it looks pretty good with just one big red one in the front

Very nice! And not to criticize a damn sexy car, but I agree the rear calipers need some red paint.
And if you want some place to put your car thru it's paces, it's a beautiful 75 degrees here during the day, sunshine and beaches. Most of our roads are pretty flat and straight, but I know a few secret places...

Yes, I know, the rear calipers need paint. I'll do it on my next one, hows that?
