Default So it begins...

Picked up the car on Sunday and got my first shipment of stuff delivered today.
K&N (until my intake shows up)
Apexi throttle controller
Vinyl for the fogs

I guess I'm glad they don't make too much for the car because this is a slippery slope

Congrats, it's an awesome car. I have the same color combo and love it. Please post a pic of your yellow fogs when you get finished, been thinking of doing that mod myself.

Intake obviously

I have some plastidip and knockoff factory spoiler being shipped right now.

I want some springs to clean up the wheel gap, but my driveway kind of sucks. My IS scraped every time i pulled in/out of it, surprisingly, the RC does not.

Been looking at exhausts. All of the sound clips online aren't that great. I would like to find something that's mostly quiet until you get on it

Is there a list of exhausts and their respective loudness?
I have a greddy on the celica and it's pretty much quiet unless you're WOT

I started an exhaust thread awhile back but since then there have been a few more companies that have come out with more options. We should probably add them..

Intake installed. Kinda funny how it's more quiet than the stock air box until you get on it. So it begins...-photo907.jpg

Couple more updates. I did some plastidip smoke w/glossifier on my tails and badges. I think the tails could use some more gloss or something. Not sure I love it.
Also picked up a used JoeZ exhaust w/quad tips and got it put on this morning (I have no idea what happened to my floor jack/jack stands)
