Some Assembly Required... (mad 3 day mod install)
Getting stuff for Christmas is nice but it still needs to be installed. Here is the list of new stuff that got added to my Box. It took 3 days but was worth it. Check out the pics!
1. Strup V2.0 axleback exhaust
2. bBist red/clear LED tails
3. Speedway Motors, peep mirrors and DIY block off plates
4. Chrome grill kit
5. TRD 18" wheels and tires
6. Scion Rocker Vinyl

LOL, that was my wife playing with her new star filter. The lower grills are staying blacked out. They match the modded fog hole covers that allow fresh air to the CAI.

Thanks a bunch guys it really means a lot. I went with 4" peeps just to be on the safe side. Surprisingly I can see quite well with them and they don't vibrate or get blurry at speed. I went with the vinyl to help bring the wheels into the whole scheme. I also had no idea how well that Strup axle back would sound and I'm lovin it. It's too quiet with the baffle tho.

Thanks ecxb242 , Charlie usually ships using DHL so inspect it real good when you get it. My first one had some damage and needed to be sent back. It fits real nice once it is adjusted and tightened down. Hope you love it as much as I do!

2ner, is there a pic of the peeps on a Scion anywhere on the net? i'd like to see how they install. Also, when you took the stock side mirrors out, I see you said you had diy plates. Got a close up?

No pics I could find. They clamp to the channel with 2 allen set screws. They come with stick on pieces so there is no metal to paint damage. I also used some clear 3M stuff for extra insurance on the outer portion of the window frame. If they were left black this would not be as much of an issue.
I used some thin plexi left over from a motorcycle windshield. Cut it to size and smoothed the edges. Painted it black on the back side and used some 3M double sided tape to attatch after pluging the holes left by the stock mirrors with some black dum dum to ensure no water or wind leaks. I basically covered the void just enough so the cover looks like an extention of the side glass. Hope this helps.
