thanks for the comments guys, the first day or two i got it back i kinda missed the carbon fiber look, but after about the 3rd day it really grew on me, now i think it looks way better..
on the antenna question, i did kinda want to shave it but i ended up spending a good bit on the paint job and i guess i just kinda decided to cut that out of the budget.. i could have had it filled in cheap, but i would have wanted it welded and done right..
i don't think the antenna is toooo much of an eye sore, mine is unplugged and never goes up anyways.
wish i had more interior shots, the white climate looks pretty good, and i'm loving my head unit with a hidden usb cord out the rear so i can just leave a 16gb thumbdrive hooked up and have a bunch of music on hand..
also changed that green light around the ignition key, and replaced it with a hyper white led to match my cluster and climate..
SCboy - yeah i thought about clear bumper lights but all the ones i see people mod from the GS look too aftermarket for me, i actually wouldn't have minded getting a set of clears
and smoking them, i wanted mine lighter then they are but tinting the amber i had to go pretty dark, i really want more of a smoked look but i'd need clear lens for that, i think the tinted are a major upgrade from the amber though
oh yeah big thanks to CL members
L dble E - for the hard to find TRD short shifter i love it!
INEEDANSC3 - for helping me bypass the factory amp do some rewiring, and the 12 leds for my license light
Maynard for - the pics
SCboy for the steering wheel/ airbag knowledge
and to anyone else that has helped me in the last few months getting things together
and for the haters that keyed my car!!! that did more good then bad.
