i know this. but not every link is active. and some are missing, in my case the DIY for the foglight bypass...NOT there or bad link. i DID do the DRL override however- i posted the link to it in that other thread i made today, so if you were wondering if that works, it does

soon man soon. when i picked up the car, it had these damn TIS model 7 20x8.5 chrome wheels and they didnt have the stock wheels for me to take or switch up.. dont get me wrong these wheels are in mint condition, chrome is spotless, huge lip, (check them out here: http://www.twentyinchesstrong.com/_img/wheel_img_07.jpg) and the tires are new, so if anyone wants to buy them go ahead and PM me- i know the wheels alone cost about $400 each, tires alone were atleast $800..but point of the story, they're just not my bag and with them on the car, plus stock ride height, i didnt want to take any pics.

anyway i got it home yesterday, late. didnt do **** to it, went to bed. tonight i had it tinted 5%, took the bling bling 20s off and put a set of stock 5 spoke 17s on that i had in my basement from my gs400.. tomorrow tein CS v2's going in i think.. maybe the exhaust and a set of those toyota jdm visors..dunno if theres gonna be any time by the time we're finished with the suspension.. i just wish it wasnt taking so long to get stuff done... i mean ive already had the car for 35 hours, i dont understand what my problem is and why i cant get the ball rolling over here

I was talking to GSteg about it and he said he'd try to help me out since I suck at electrical stuff. Where do you live? Maybe we can have a minimeet and do this mod.
