Getting down on this thing. A lot is not my style but props to you for going all out.

Definitely jealous of the elixir wing and trd front lip. Suede headliner/a/b/c pillar trim is legit too.

If you've been following from the beginning, I never thought these existed, even tried to get some custom made in Japan that fell through, had a credit card dispute, blah blah blah. Anyways, here they are!

thanks. when the full interior gets put back in I think it will look super nice. I can't do all that till the vinyl gets rewrapped and the dynomat gets placed in the ceiling

I was really close to pulling the trigger on some aftermarket fans but glad I didn't. got the coolant tank cut off the fans and it mounts up nicely to the koyo radiator. Couldn't be happier with how clean it looks! Also got the right trd cap to fit! hey oh!

Wing is back and painted, vinyl is the next step to finishing up the exterior.

hard time finding a place for the vibrant tank. Not a lot of room for this thing but looks like it's home is going to be where the factory coolant tank used to be. Also progress on the air box has started, next is plexiglass and led.

Just got a smoking deal on some project mu stainless steel break lines. They shipped out today. I already bought the goodrich lines but these are very hard to come buy and very high end, so I couldn't say no. Link below if you want to check them out
