Default new pics of my car -- important debut :)

well, it's been another short while since i last posted pics of my car. those who have been close to me know that i have been hinting about an important debut of my car at the carson meet. to those who's almost killed me for not telling you before 6/21, sorry about that.

anyway, i got some new stuff on my car:
UGO body kits (as far as what steve at carson toyota and i can figure out, this is the first and ONLY ONE in the US)
UGO roof spoiler
HID yellow fogs (couldn't get any good pics of this, so screw that)
Tein Flex coilovers (to replace my tein HA)
Daizen sway bars (to replace the TRD ones i had just for comparison)

so yes, the biggest surprise is the UGO body kits. it's such a nice kit, i love it. very high quality and the body shop did miracle with the kit. the price was beyond ridiculously good and i was so surprised the kit wasn't sold 3 days after steve posted it up! you guys missed out big time man. if you do the math with the japanese yen, you would probably start crying

anyway, i just want to give some special thanks to:

Todd @ tmengineering. todd is the man. he's basically the only guy (shop) who will work on both my cars in terms of mods. he's just plain awesome. i have seen so much of his work and the attention to details is just incredible. anyway, he put on the tein flex, daizen sways, and he helped me to hook up with this awesome body shop for the paint job and install of the kit and roof spoiler

Steve at carson toyota. he's a great guy, nice to talk to. he gave me a killer deal on the UGO kit, so good that i actaully emailed and called him twice just to ask "steve, are you sure that's the price you quoted me?" don't ask me, i won't disclose the price i got the kit for, you can always try to ask steve about it. it must be my luck, if it's not that he's not getting a GS any time soon, my car would still be so naked...

anyway, enough BS, pics here we go!

oh and sorry about the huge pics, but too lazy to resize

it's funny coz' i always only thought about getting the lsportline roof spoiler coz' it's to the glass and easier to take off. but when i got the ugo kits, i thought about it for 2 secs and basically there's no reason for me NOT to get the ugo roof spoiler to go with teh kits at all!!!!!

and no, don't try to tell me to get the ugo front and rear stb now, i am broke

Very nice, Henry. But I think I need a few more pictures to really get a feel for the kit.
