Marc, I know you've been waiting for a long time for this to be completed. I guess it'll be worth the wait the minute you pull out of Toyomoto.
BTW, what happened to your SD grill?

my SD grill is sitting in my garage, as are my titanium tail lights....new custom license plate, and some other goodies I plan on putting back on as soon as I have the car home...

definatly not cheap, and not "off the shelf parts" for the most part many custom items made....
my car is somewhat in between a stage 2.5 and 5.5 according to Toyomoto's website http://www.toyomoto.com/is300.htm
