Default Teaser Revealed - Debut of Supercharged GS at Toyotafest

I haven't been on the forums for a very long time now because of critical family needs.

Now that all is well at home, the mod bug has resumed. I'm getting ready with my NorCal crew to come down to Toyotafest in Long Beach next week and I'll have several new changes under the hood.

Thought I'd throw out a few teasers up until the day before Toyotafest. I'm shooting for atleast one updated pic per day.

These are the Carson Toyota caps that I had the lettering custom machined on to each cap. The next step will be to fill the lettering with paint. Also note that I ordered an extra dip stick handle that will be custom modified to fit on to the transmission fluid level dip stick to match with the engine oil dip stick.

That is so hot I wish I had thought of that. Wanna do a set for me? I would dip them in chrome and they would look real nice in my engine bay.

Yup these would look Hawt in your engine bay.

Here's the shop that did the work for me. http://www.tannersengraving.com/industrial.html

The owner is very meticulous and is a gear head so I know he'll take good care of you. He has my program on file so it wouldn't be hard to do it for someone else or change it to your liking.

If you don't find a local shop that will do this kind of work for you, PM me and I can help you out with having your parts done by this guy. You can have the parts chromed after they are engraved.
