Thanks man! I chalked up some photos on FJ too. Going to clean the car up and get a bunch of other goodies on. Things are coming together. These rims are way better than planned. Definitely keeping this car. Want to do a beige leather seat setup. Sort of a mini cooper vibe to the interior. I have some mattig drop replicas to put on tonight, some little trim pieces, and then a bunch of pieces to get painted that I've had sitting forever.

Things I have to put on this summer:
kaminari front lip from sucka - getting painted twilight
svt rear from rob - getting painted twilight
pro dtm sideskirts from kyle and some kid in lacrosse area - getting painted twilight
1 piece wraparound mid wing from god knows where - getting painted twilight
door handles - twilight
side door trim - twilight
svt glossy pillars
svt glossy triangles
stock CF hood - going to do the same paint scheme as pappy/steve in twilight
chrome mach headlights
splash guard (i know, ghetto that mine fell off)

For winter:
Some old 15" audi wheels I need spacers for - still need to figure out a color. Might go hot pink with chrome lip. They're a faux 3 piece that look dope.

Later:
Coilovers
Turbblow
Rear discs

Skip the mid wing. Spend the money in having the Mach's internals painted black. You'll thank yourself.

It's this one though, it's a 1 piecer. Not a 3-piece. I've always loved this one. It will be the last thing I put on though, everything else done first. I think it'll look good on a twilight car. No?

This way I can catch snow for snowballs in the winter, and filter drinking water from it during april showers. :shock:

Rubbed today. Eeek. Anybody else rub when they go over train tracks or a big bump? New to me - a little scary. Twilight paint on the tire.

I put in a coil sleeve kit, and lowered it to the bottom, and I even got 40 series tires... I still rub on everywhere. lol
