Looks nice. I have a TRD plate frame and people ask me if I have TRD products. I just smile, say I don't and I just support TRD.

Since I neither speak nor write Japanese, I often wonder what the Kanji or Kokuji characters REALLY say - like the tattoos sported by a number of non-Asians. I often imagine the artist has emblazoned some poor bozo with some really lovely script that reads "stupid white guy" - or words to that effect.

I like those stickers. I would put them on my RX, since they would go nicely on the black background of mine.

After brushing a few cobwebs out of my brain and a tiny amount of cheating...
the blue katakana lettering says: "Toyota Technocraft"

I like the chrome plates, but I think black looks nice against the silver. Plus the red lettering on the TRD is cool.

My wheels are stock, and I have a K&N air filter.

Haha, thanks for the offer but I have another car that the mod $$ goes to. I'd love to mod my RX but I use it as a DD and such. Put it up in the RX Classifieds section on the forums and you'll get some hits i'm sure. Good luck friend.
