Damn that's exactly what my wife said!

I think initially I'll stick with the "smoked" theme since I got the windows tinted. However, I think once the wiring (harness, relays, etc.) are installed the lamps seem easy enough to swap so there really is no reason to NOT have 2 sets of them, lol. (*thanks for the nice pic, managed to photoshop the fogs onto mine for 'visuals')

I was going to go with TRDs but I was really looking for the least amount of drop. It turned out the drop is actually almost 1.5" (measured fender to center of wheels, 15" before and now down to ~13.5"). I'm quite happy with it lowered, stance and the ride feel. I doubt I'll have rubbing issues since there's still quite a bit of clearance left between my fender and wheels plus my rims are ET +40. In fact I went with my 3 coworkers for lunch last week (ave. weight is 170lbs/person) and still had room between the fenders/tires. Anyway, today turned out to be another beautiful afternoon in the city. And while browsing through the forums I came accross this meteorite metallic yarii. So I thought I got some free time... why not give it a shot? So I took a trip down to my local HD to pickup weatherstripping and spent about 2 hours on the car this afternoon. Initially I thought it would look cheap but on the contrary it does NOT look 'ghetto' at all. Here's what I got and I think I will be keeping it for a little while :) Click here for higher res image. .

I got my fog lights from MI and bought the factory bezels from Toyota. They cost almost as much as the fog light kit. |

$32 for bezels + $39 for fogs = $71 total....not bad IMO. |

If you think that is bad, I was hoping to get the TRD 18" wheels and the dealer quoted me $562 per wheel. I was expecting around $300 per wheel which would have been bad enough. |

I have a running list of things I'm looking to buy, I wonder if anyone here is thinking of unloading theirs before I contact vendors to place my order?
Here are some of the items I'm looking for:
