ok so I'm starting the over haul on the car next week. Everything is getting done except the body kit, saving that for last. So every part you see listed will be installed except the lip kit and wing.

* Wrapping A, B, C and D pillars, roof liner, sun roof liner, sun visors in suede with red stitching. rewrapping arm rest and ebrake boot with red stitching. Also wrapping handles in red leather. Then painting all plastics black. Here's an example of some the work done on a new 7 series BMW. Just picture this in black with red stitch inside my car.

oh and also repainting the dash with a nice silver accent to match the door panels and cluster gauge

this was not fun when you don't have the proper tools. That gas pedal can die!

*ordered 5 jdm trd filters and trd front and rear pads and my first trd oil kit didn't fit right, so replacement on the way

loading up my lip kit and heading to the body shop to get a quote on the install. Running a little behind on dropping the car off, still waiting on some key parts to come in- trd: calipers, sway bars, rear upper bar and the steering wheel...sure I'm missing some other stuff but I have to get on the road.
