This is where I'm at...

 

looks good, but take out the silencers.

 

looks good brotha...

 

Thanks much, guys . I'd remove the silencers if I felt the exhaust was too quiet, but IMO, it's just about right. Definitely louder than stock, but well short of loud (don't care for loud). To my ears, it roughly matches the level of the CAI and engine -- that works for me, kind of laidback and easy going in both appearance and sound (though a tad aggressive when I lean on it, of course) !

Again -- thanks!

 

i like that a lot man. what kind of grille is that, and where did u get it? also where did u get the the grill for the vent. i heard one comes with the trd intake, but i'm buying the injen cai, and dont know where to get one

 

Thanks, I'm glad you like it !

It's a billet grill from eBay (www.AutoModZone.com). The drawbacks were that it took a lot of hand tweaking to get the bars nice and straight, and that I had to fabricate my own brackets so it could actually mount in place of the OE grill. I don't know if that situation has changed -- I bought it early September 2009.

The TRD side vent is purchasable through the Toyota dealership parts counter, though it'll probably be a special order. Part number is PTR03-52084, but you have to tell them it's a TRD part, not Toyota.

 

Don't mind the wheels.. waiting fo the new rims.

 

Man Two Big Thumbs up!!!


Super clean!! keep up the great work..

One question, on the CF hood did were you able to reinstall the washer nozzle's??

 

He could drill holes, but it appears that he chose not to. (good call)

I would like to see it with the wheels before I pass judgment.

 

the xb2 nozzles arent in the hood if i remember correctly, they're in the plastic crap between the hood and window. however the washer fluid lines do run under the hood so you might need to re-rout them... i would have to double check though. i pulled the tank and the lines a long time ago cuz i never use it

 

you'd need to drill a hole right under the lip of the CF to use them.

 

I have the nozzles in there. The nozzles are under the hood. They were definetly a pain to do.

^air?

 

No, cut springs.




Clink on the link below his picture.

 

those cut springs look dope! be careful though...highly unsafe

I had clicked on his link before but was too lazy to do again...those are some sick mods to slamm that bad boy!

 

You most surely did ! Maybe a dumb question, but you can turn, right? Whew, that's pretty low !

Yep, air -- wow, looks awfully good !

 

yes!

 

When you're dumped down that low (for show's or what not) no you can't turn the wheels stop-to-stop. When driving normally, the air-bags need to be aired up a bit to allow for turning and driving over any bumps, etc.

 

Made some paint mods with 18's looking to go 19's
