the clean and subtle touches makes this car fabulous. i'm not a big fan of smoked tails; however, these are an exception as they flow with the wheels as a combo. great progress!

A quick 2010 update on the car....
Hello all,
I haven't posted new photos of the car in a while so I thought I'd throw a few up in this thread.
New mods since the last update:
-LS430 projector retrofit with gunmetal housings, cleared turn signals
-TT Supra front BBK
As far as modifications go, these two new ones definitely perform better over stock. The projectors are a huge upgrade from the stock HID headlights. The beam pattern is so wide it can light up 6 lanes wide on the freeway at night. The added cutoff line is nice too, although there are better lenses out there (TSX, S2K, etc.) I kind of wish I still had the shop add TSX lenses while the headlights were opened to be painted. I'm loving the new TT Supra brakes. You can really feel the added braking power especially since I'm only on 18" OEM wheels. I can brake later smoothly since braking distance is reduced and the new brakes have helped me avoid a collision at highway speeds on a few occasions now.
On to the new photos!

Since I've gone for the sporty look on the exterior, I re-did the interior by overlaying faux carbon fiber fabric that resembles or simulates a matte carbon fiber look. I think it blends in well since the interior is black. I've had this done now for some time and material is holding up well against spills, scratches, sunlight, etc.
