I got some bushings for the sway bars until I get the TRD blue sway bars. I'll be looking at finding the strut bar braces for the front and maybe the rear. I ordered some coil overs today and I have to wait 6-8 weeks.

great start to a really clean GS!

could you possibly post more pics of that subwoofer box? wanting to do a similiar setup, really like how that looks and I think that a sealed box would sound much better than an infinite baffle setup.

Nothing much but a wood and leather shift **** that came off a IS300 or something. I am still waiting on 2 critical components for the car and will post accordingly.



CLGForce if you still want I can take some better photos of the sub enclosure if you like.

I am actually changing up the wheels to something else. I didn't end up getting the MAYA's. They'll be along the same lines with a 4 inch lip in the rear running 275 rubbers on 20's.

I never did post the stoptech rotors w/akenbono pads and stoptech SS lines. So, without further ado..





I am finalizing my wheels tomorrow since I was up and down for what I wanted. Still waiting on suspension components. I'll be looking at some ceramic tint on all windows.


EDIT:

Oh and here is a minor interior change.

I picked up my Tanabe Coils today, only to find that the box has been damaged. I am trying to sort out what is missing, apart from the wrenches. A washer did roll out of the box as a post office worker brings the box out. My heart sank as this might put me being schedule for my build.







This is the washer, the sole survivor of the journey. LOL Note scuffs to the suspension.

Did they open the box to check the contents for security reasons ?? Or was it just bad packing... Couldn't you refuse it and send it back?

The scuffs are really not that bad. I don't know if you can live with it, but I guess I could... It's not something you're gonna notice once they are installed.

However what's up with that washer... I'm guessing it's not a part of the coilovers.

I didn't want to refuse it and the box was already opened when I picked it up. I've torn apart the coils and itemized them. I've checked the rebound and filed a case in regards to this. I don't care about the scuffs, but that is part of the case I filed. They'll work and I'll still be on track to have everything done.
