i totally agree with you on that. unfortunately i've tried and it's the toyota plastic that has gone down the drain, the headlights are on order. These wheels were finished the day of the show, and the wheels were mounted that afternoon. They are VIPmodular VR-01's 20x10f / 20x11r.

The car is still rockin' Admiration Creatuer Lip kit, just changed the wheels to VIPmodular.

Hey Steve, my headlights and fogs were in worse shape than yours.
Pull them off and wet sand them with 2000 grit paper, then high speed polish them with fine cut and they will shine like new ,removing most of the pitting and all the yellowing. Do the same thing for the headlights and then cover them both in clear bra and you won't believe how new they look after . I love mine as it makes the car look brand new once they are done.

yup, as PD said those are 5zigen mega axle backs. the admiration creatuer lip kit fits like a glove, so no need to mold it, plus i'm not too fond of molding stuff, it becomes a pain in the A$$ when something bad happens. The wheels were a totally custom made wheel (not really any offsets), so all i did was cut/shave the rear quarter panel tabs, and flattened the front tabs on the front fenders. Wheels are 20x10f and 20x11r having airride helps quite a bit, hopefully i can get my hands on an alignment machine soon so that i can dial everything in and have it sitting just the way i want. Thanks Chubby, i was considering AME's as well, but with VIPmodular, i was able to have them build a set of wheels that suited my needs. Thanks SK, i'll have to do that sometime soon, only set back is that the plastic seems to be cracking from the inside so it stops me from going any further than just using meguiars plastix every so often.
