far as red piping goes, i ordered the red floor mats cause i thought it looked cool, and because of the red floor mats, i decided to do all interior led lighting...i was showing my buddy the car and he had always wanted to change the piping on his seats in an older car he had in the day. well he mentioned i should do red piping to match everything and not be too dramatic. thought on it for a couple days, and decided to do it. so there ya go!

got it done at a shop in orlando, where in FL do you live? if ya got some $$$ to spend they do AMAZING work! Exclusive Whipz
mybad it took so long to write back but been hella busy with work and family. how much did it cost u? i live in miami well miramar if u want to get technical. but i love the red in ur car. red is not my favorite color but i have red caliper with the lexus emblem and ive thought about changeing my stick cover to black and red stiching and the seats would jus bring that out more well let me know. how long did they have ur car for?

Been gone for a bit but I'm back! Had some personal crap going on and now prepared to throw more money away! YESSSSS! Soooo, just ordered some black housing tail lamps from japan for the sportcross. That other stuff going on with the tail lights was a mess, leave it at that... Looking to up the system, bigger alternator, bigger amp, extra battery. Trying to find a full lip kit, I have immediate access to side skirts and front lip but waiting to hear back from some other places in JP. Also going to order power folding mirrors, turn signal lights for the fenders, light caps for the side view mirrors, Elixir wing and if I can find a factory nav unit I will ****** that up too. The only thing I've done as of late is some sportcross rotors b/c my originals were warped and they were driving me crazy!

k so the mirrors are the same, so a no go on those. I thought they were going to have blinkers on them. He does have full interior for sell. These is a RARE find if you have cash. It won't fit my wagon because the back seats are different. This is for sale though

i've sent 3 emails asking how much on the interior and he hasn't replied back... I bought my jdm folding mirrors from this guy so I hope that's not foreshadowing. Luckily my bank will reimburse me for fraud, they did with my first go around on the tail lights

ok so update. on the grind for some more trd/jdm crap. Decided to go with a rear Eurou lip and just bought a trd push start button to go with my advance key setup.




which rear bumper is better?




or

MODELLISTA INTERIOR.

he got back with me today, slammed with work and japanese holiday. Soooo. price shipped would be around 2k. price is negotiable. He also has the matching ebrake handle. I'll do a formal postal in the classifieds when i have time. This is a true enthusiast must have. If it fit my car I'd already own it.

also just ordered this. It's a little ricey sort of. But it's rare and it's jdm/trd. Might take some modding to fit but I'll find a way
