Thanks for the kind words!

The rear wheel still rubs on the cup sometimes, so I installed 10mm spacers and studs today. Hopefully it'll help.

It ends up the holes for the nutserts are drilled all the way through.


View of the rear coilover conversion.


Overall view. You can see the wheel rubbed on the cup since they were spec'ed for a stock config with a mild drop.
The blue tape is there because I was sealing the cut fenders with POR-15.

Installed a Carlinkit today!

Took a while since it was the first time digging deep into this car. Eddie's guide was super helpful!

I moved the license plate back to the middle so I could install a camera.


This way I can see if I'm about to bump the lip on something

Nice, how do you switch to the front facing camera in drive? I'm thinking of installing a front facing camera also.

I just manually select it from the menu. It'd be cool if we could wire up a pushbutton switch or something so we wouldn't have to exit out of android auto.

Nice job. Just know though if fluid leaked out, that means air got in. Does this shop have the correct Toyota software required to initiate an "air bleed" of the line? If not, you can pretty much guarantee you have air somewhere in the lines.

Car was finally done after 6 months, and then this happened on the test drive.

Threads had stripped, brake fluid leaked out.

Now just need to get two new front calipers...
Do you know what the shop had done to get it to fit properly? I have this spoiler as well and having the same issue.

I think they said they left it in the sun to relax it a little and then gave it another shot.

Thank you! I did not know fiberglass is able to conform with heat.

By any chance I can get the shop’s name and location you took it to? I’m still having trouble getting it to sit flush on the trunk and rather leave it to a professional to install at this point.

Yeah, sure, I had it done at Platinum VIP in Irwindale. Kennedy is the owner and a great guy.
