Looks good. That's the approach I want to go for with my Polar White 06. Clean and simple. Love the tip on changing the interior lighting color.

As for CAI you can get a BLITZ Induction Cover and you will feel a difference but no one will see it unless you badge the top of the air box with the BLITZ emblem that comes with the kit.

I love it.

I did the K&N drop in with the snorkel removed.

I figure at this point it will be just a lot of little stuff mods, maybe a few blue accentts here and there and then some perf options (header, rear sway bar, TB spacer, better brake pads) and a leather Toyota steering wheel.

Clear the front corners, red out the rear lights, stuff like that.

Sounds like a nice tidy list of subtle mods to me.

I did a little rebadging myself.

I was tired of people asking what a skeein or a Skyeon so I figured they would know what that one is right away

I almost did something different than the vvt-i but couldn't decide on anything else I liked. I don't think we'll run into each other though so we can just tell others it's a one of a kind.

Just to not let you beat me next time either, I am going to find Toyota emblem wheel center caps too and paint them black.

I saw a guy who took the scion logo off his steering wheel and put it on his grill centered-it looked really cool because of the size.

Lucky we live a ways away from each other-guess we have the only Toyota boxes
