Default around round of mods...again thanks to carson toyota.

*pics will be posted on sunday because thats when my brother comes back from cali (thanks to him for helping me out)

well originally i had my mind set on the HKS vented carbon fiber hood. but unfortunately they only had the fiberglass hood. so i figure i might as well ordered whatever is in stock.

mods:

- carson tuned mid pipe
- toms rear suspension arm brackets
- toms rear suspension plates
- carson tuned strut bar (chrome)- they didnt have aluminum and i was really debating on this one...all i know now...the strut will be complemented tastefully with other engine mods )
- toyota japan gs double din plate
- toms low temp t-stat (will be used with my new engine setup which is coming soon )
- toms radiator cap

arm brackets/suspension plates:
i am not sure how much (if any) of an actual difference it will make, but i'll see soon..i decided to order it anyway because the rear end of the car is the major weak point...at least imo...i only have coilovers in the suspension category and it handles soo damn well already

Awesome stuff...

Please post up on those rear suspension pieces. Curious exactly what they do and how they affect the rear suspension and ride.
