Default This car is getting to me..

I have to pass this car two or three times a week and it gets better looking each time. The all white is just right for this body, he even has a mesh grille with the "L" on it.

It's on the SMU campus so I could only get this camera phone shot but this bodystyle really looks good monochromatic.



With maybe a set of these babies on there...



Seriously thinking about this.

My uncle painted mine all black the first year I was down here. He would normally charge about 400 USD or so to paint the lower panels to match.

What other Toyota products will my OEM wheels and tires fit if I were going to sell them?

Is the black rim's emblem, look a little off? The "L" should be straighter. Is this OEM?

Since I've got my car I've been looking into getting 18 OEM chrome wheels. Well, I was doing a search on Craigslist and ran into them in almost brand new condition PLUS tires that only have been driven on for 400 miles for $750! I got the guy down to $700 and purchased them that very day. Had to make a 40 minute drive but it was worth it. So nearly brand new 18 inch chrome OEM wheels plus the tires for $700! Good times. How much do the 16 inch stock wheels usually go for? I need to sell mine now.

299?

how bout looking for replica lexus rims and then getting them painted black.

I'm getting replica Audi RS4 rims and adaptors and then painting them (somewhere on the wheel, havent decided yet) the same color as the gold on the bottom of my truck.
