Arrow Recent mods (lots of pics)

Well here it is, my 2000 Platinum. Some things I've been working on in the last month:

Tein Springs
18x8 Work Euroline (thanks Greed777)
TRD Exhaust (from the 99-03 Solara TRD)
I also replaced the wood climate control to plain from the 97 ES
LED under the mirrors (works with dome, lock/unlock)
Made a mood light in the console (copied the idea from my previous Audi)
6000K bulb upgrade
replaced all interior/dash to white
independant fogs w/ yellow lamin X

I think that is all. Next week I will be getting tints (35%) and KICS 15mm spacers for the rear and rolling the fenders.

Question

Can you take a pic of the GS CHMSL from the back seat?
I tried one, but it would NOT sit flush on the rear deck.

You definately won't get it to sit perfectly. I also used the rear speaker cover from the GS300 and it's so so. I still have to dedicate some time to fabricate something custom.

These are the led's that I used. Picked them up at Advanced Auto for less than $10. The led fits like a glove into the "drain" hole that we already have in our mirrors.
