The fit on the front driver's side

damn, i recently sold my trd's, i definitely like how they look in gold (I was going to paint mine blue with a polished lip). The car looks much better now with the gold wheels.

from the look of the last pic, the gap between the front bumper and the hood appears to be bigger on the drivers side. EDIT: the second pic also shows the difference, the drivers side appears to be raised up more then the passenger side.

Thanks, Amber is "JDM" Peter , didn't you get the memo

I've been looking on ebay for a used set . Its would be the first time baking headlights an I don't want to ef' up the stockers on my first try . Also I had the bumper off friday night and was in a rush to get it back together and left out sims for the bumper on the driver side , hence the unsightly gap lol .

You can also try and find european headlights, they don't have the amber. So no need to open them.

They are no longer "trd" wheels as I have removed the stickers and painted of the trd center caps . Please refere to them as Racinghart gt5's cause that what they really are. Trd just added stickers and sold them as a dealer option.

Ah yeah, true. No problem.

Car looks good by the way, I love that kit.

The gold TRD wheels look good on your black LB. You put a lot of work into your car and it shows! Good stuff man.

PHXDEMON · 05-04-2009, 12:08 AM

Thanks garm ! I'll call you later today when I get off work . Thanks everyone I'm going for a track/show/jdm theme , hence the array of jdm parts . The tow hook goes with the "track" theme and has also been USED before and works . The lower grille is gonna be filled up with a Intercooler and the the upper with have black mesh in it . My turbo manifold in getting welded up @ heavy hitter performance and should be done within the week(will post pics) I plan on powdercoating the trd's takata green in a couple months just to keep the look of the car "fresh"
