Looks like there's one left.

The remaining one is on it's way to me.

Small cosmetic change today - I swapped out one TRD oil filler cap for another. I like the way the blue matches under the hood...

I can handle engine oil but have never attempted transmission or coolant. Is this something you already knew how to accomplish? or is there a guide somewhere that I can learn from? Thanks!

The RR kit comes with two hoses. Where does the other hose go?

Yes, just like Keoni stated it's a lower hose, would be right/passenger side of the radiator. Not the best pic but she is down there somewhere, it was dark anyways.

Really loving that front splitter and hood. Is that wrap on the front grille surround and the CF in front of the headlights?

Thanks! Yes, the front grill surround is wrapped matte black and gloss black on the bottom. And the vinyl CF pieces in front of the headlights are from Tom’s.

I just noticed your front camera. Sweet! I think you posted something on this before. I need to get this done.
