08 USB with full Tom's kit
 
Well, this is the final touch for my car. I ordered the full Tom's kit just to get the rear diffuser but when it arrived it was such amazing quality and looked way better than pictures I've seen I decided to keep the whole kit and install these beautiful pieces. Big thanks for Luis at Carson Toyota for getting me this if your on here.

I wasn't sure if the rear diffuser was going to fit with the ISS exhaust but it does and as you can see there is no gap on the sides. It is very tight and does make contact. I have one of the first run versions of the exhaust and later versions may be tighter but if its any larger something will have to give to make it work.

I do have a spare Downforce USA front lip that I'll be getting rid of since I now have the Tom's. I purchased it from ViperVern and that is a quality piece as well that I'll be sad to let go, but you can't drive around with two.

Hope you enjoy the pics, I sure enjoy driving it as I'm sure you all do, its a real looker in any form.

To date, mods are:

TEIN CST w/EDFC
Five Axis R5:F with Continental DWS rubber
ISS Forged Exhaust
Takeda Intake
Vais DVD Bypass and Ipod adapter
Downforce USA carbon fiber mirror trim and outer triangle pieces
Lexus "blue" scuff plates
Black chrome badging w/black chrome grille surround

The TOM's kit looks awesome! Nice looking USB! :p

TURBOCARS May 14, 2011 12:03 PM

Im jealous!

caymandive May 14, 2011 12:32 PM

Looks great, but I have to wonder how it would have looked had you kept the wheels the darker gunmetal shade.

Stylnhonda May 14, 2011 12:45 PM

Looks great! What a rear, bet it's a real eye catcher. If the car had some darker headlights, I think it would look amazing!

GoSlow300 May 14, 2011 12:49 PM

Loving It... Great

Yeah, I agree that its hit or miss. In hindsight I should have gone a shade darker but I told them not to put another layer of black down in fear that it would come out too dark and I didn't want a black rim. They have grown on me over the last two weeks though and I'm really happy with them.

Thanks to Brociouz for imbedding the pics, I had thought you could view the slide show once you select a pic and not each individual one. Maybe that's just because its my imageshack acct though. Sorry for that though.

Thanks for the comments good or bad its welcome. I've already been told by a few that they like the OEMs better than the R5:Fs or at least the darker finish.

Finally, a USB with the Tom's kit. Beautiful!

Hoovey689 May 14, 2011 06:20 PM

CalitriSC May 14, 2011 07:02 PM
