Default Went a little mod crazy this year.


My old steering wheel. It was in great shape but I hated the 4 spoke design.

New wood and leather 3 spoke (my personal favorite)

Engine bay mods- TRD strut tower bar, TRD air filter, BFI, TRD oil cap (mostly asethetic but the BFI and airfilter do make a noticible difference in power on the highway.

19' Konig Theory Rims and Falken Azenis. (I highly reccomend these tires, I mainly bought them for the 460 tread rating and good traction but they are also super quiet. A much easier way to quiet your ride than with dynamat.

CL sticker, adds 10+ hp!

Go to the forum titled "Site Questions, Suggestions and Problems" and you will see a link on there. I have had mine for a while but have not gotten a chance to put them on. Maybe if I could keep my car out of the shop for long enough to get them on!!!

Peace,
Jonny

It was a badge I picked up on ebay awhile ago. I thought it would tacky on the car so I decided to throw it in the engine bay. Again, nonfunctional but impresses my ricer friends.

Cool. Nice to see another MN SC300. More and more of them have been popping up lately.

What are the widths and offsets of the wheels, they seem to sit quite sunken in. I personally would have gone with a wider more aggressive offset to achieve a more flush stance.

Maybe it's because my car isn't lowered yet with such large rims. They are actually half and inch wider and only -5mm offset from stock. I don't like wheels that stick out anyways.
