Hello everyone, it's been awhile since I have posted pictures of my car and modifications that I have been adding/changing. Below is a list of what I have done to the car since the beginning of February:

Swapped out stock shocks/struts for TRD Sportivo shocks/struts
Installed smoked side marker lights (thanks Garm)
Added Kaminari side skirts (thanks ryank and Laszlo)
Added dome tweeters
Added 3-way Kenwood door speakers in place of stock speakers
Changed door fabric from "blue dots" to black suede
Added Pink Domo (thanks Rain)

Please enjoy the pictures

I like the stripe running down the side of the car. Why do you have the Blitz website on your side skirt?

thanks Long, the Blitz is there bc the skirts are from Laszlo's car :) I'm test fitting them to see if I want them for sure (from ryank)

From what I've noticed that is the patented Midwest stripe. If you are from the Midwest that is the first mod you must do. Thankfully it's a nice stripe style for the LB :biggrin:

i really like the suede touch. how much for the shocks and from where?

btw congrats matt wink wink

I actually bought them from a private seller on YW awhile ago...just wanted to wait until it was "warmer" to install them.

oh and thanks, we appreciate it bud

Nice job with the suede - Did you install it yourself? If so, how difficult of a job was it?

I am itching to do mine to match my Clazzio seat covers.

Yes, my friend and I did the doors ourselves. It takes some patience to peel the original fabric off but otherwise it's not a bad mod.

I followed the DIY pretty closely. If you decide to do it, PM me if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help if I can.

ok stupid question, but other than a private seller where could i get those?

it's ok Pavel. I think Trdsparks.com sells them and that's probably it.

I just found the DIY - Now the question is do I match the perforated leather or the leather grained vinyl...

Ct if you do this, post up another DIY with whatever fabric you opt for. I am thinking the PVC black that matches the Clazzios.

That thing is blackeddddd out. Nice! I like the contrast of the grey paint to the black. Keep it up

I need to re-do my door panels too. Might do it in leather or carbon fiber!

believe it or not, it's made for the sedan, it has a 36-led brake light in the center. all it took to fit was two custom-made aluminum brackets :)

Door panels look great. I hate the stuck blue dotted jersey material crap. Now you just need to do the seats in black suede :drool: Also where did you get the suede from?

As for the seats:

Compare pg 35 and 41. The frames look the same.

yeah, i'm betting they are the same, that would make sense from Toyota's standpoint. Thanks KL
