This is great advice. Needs to be a sticky.

Was wondering if you considered getting this as an option?

I love the look of the DEFI cluster but it's been discontinued for a long time now. I also looked into stack but the Racepak displays so many more things on 1 screen. I'm not a big fan of the digital tachometer though, but a plus side to the Racepak is that it pulls all the data from the AEM ecu with a pnp module. It's a little too blue for me but I think I'll get used to it. A buddy of mine has one in his SC and it looks right at home.

looking good bro, you should have your climate control done by LLS in a Pure white, with blue button functions...that would look great with your RacePak? Hey what's your plans with your VVTI cover? Are you going to paint it the same color as your SC? Or you got something "special" in mind? lol

Great advice too! Makes me feel good about working hard in life...I've learned to be patient and it'll come!

The lighting would look pretty cool. I haven't given much thought to that stuff. The engine bay, valve cover, and timing cover will all be paint matched.

3.5 months after I order the wing and Carson Toyota tells me this...

Sir I want to let you know that today we received a wire transfer back from Signature for your order on the trunk wing. They emailed us and said that all attempts they made at making the wing for you order has failed as the mold is to damaged to make a good piece. due to the wing not selling for them as often they will not be investing in re tooling that mold, so the part has been discontinued and no longer available.

A little part of me just died inside. Im working on adapting an m3 csl wing to the car right now though which I think will be cooler than the signature wing anyway though

I shall find it. Someday. Someday.

How about calling the number on the back window, ask about who owns that white Soarer, track them down- and offer triple the cost plus shipping, or that you'd make a mold of it and return it. (???) [Maybe RideSkinz would duplicate?] Man on a mission. Ha

As far as what I do.. I own/manage my family's wholesale textile company. But you also must realize it has taken me 7 years of ownership to get to this point with the car and other than seats, I haven't done anything to it in 2 years.

Tips: the game is selling in VOLUME, don't have kids (or other liabilities) until you can properly afford them, don't get into debt, and invest whilst you're young.
You're also a poker player? .. haha.. i see a poker chip case in some of your pics i think..

Car is fancy!
