Modifications Page:
I want to give credit to everyone who has worked on this car and helped make it into what it is today. Special thanks go out to Carlos, Nathan, Juan, and the rest of the guys at C-Wings, C-West, RaceonUSA, and Importfan for all of their custom designs and fabrications that truly make this car one of a kind!

Exterior Mods:
-Full 13-piece TRD2000GT widebody kit (5 1/2 inches wider overall!) Actually only used 9 of the pieces since we sold off the TRD wing that was way to big for me and the Sparco gas cap is in place of the TRD angled gas door that comes with the kit.
-Kustom Kolors Nissan 350Z Daytona Blue metallic paintjob
-Shaved door handles with AUTOLOC door popper kit
-Shaved side skirts and shaved door moldings commonly seen on MR2s and looks pretty ugly if left on with the TRD kit, so they were shaved off completely!
-RPM Garage Custom 1998-1999 JDM Carbon fiber adjustable rear deck spoiler imported from Japan
-Border style dual vented carbon fiber hood painted to match the color of the car (modded edges with bondo to fit flush with headlights)
-Custom made carbon fiber bubble headlights from an Mazda RX-7 (C-West) at $800/set
-CATZ high beam projectors and CATZ yellow halogen fog lights
-JDM Turbo Fog lights mounted in front bumper slots with Nokya HyperYellow bulbs
-European style Clear front corner turn signal/parking lights
-Carbon fiber JDM style adjustable front license plate holder
-Carbon fiber front Canards (4 of them. 2 on each side)
-Carbon fiber lower valance splitter piece with Sparco adjusters to allow raising or lowering of piece
-Reflective tinting on all 6 windows including the front windshield is tinted! (It's a ticket waiting to happen!)
-Custom windshield visor banner with Tein, Sparco, and Tenzo-R logos
-Custom made Lamborghini door kit for the TRD widebody kit (required many modifications to get it to fit correctly since it is actually modded from a Celica door kit)
-Sparco locking chrome gas cap cover shaved and flush mounted into the body of the car
-Custom installed mesh grilling in side vents
-Do-Luck slim line carbon fiber rear engine ducts (not the big bulky fiberglass ones, these are carbon fiber and slim-line to give it a more flush and sleeker look and are the ONLY set in the world as they were custom made in carbon fiber from the Do-Luck moldings)
-Garage Fukui Phoenix style carbon fiber rear engine lid cover with triple air ducts for air removal from engine
-Carbon fiber rear lower valance diffuser from C-One between the exhaust tips
-1994+ JDM Kouki Toyota circular 3-piece taillight setup with center panel painted to match the paintjob and custom burned red turn signals with truck LEDs inside to make the lights light up like a G35 circle
-StreetGLOW OPTX full undercar blue neon light kit (Also put one 36-inch tube in the engine compartment to light up the gills and the engine through the rear and side ducts!)

-Carbon fiber dash pieces made from real sheets of carbon fiber

-B&M short throw shifter with S2000 6-speed shift knob
-Tenzo-R Racing seats (blue), I hope to get seatbelts for them soon, although they are a pain to deal with!
-Inner door handles removed and replaced with sheets of carbon fiber in place of the handle
-Carbon fiber door sills
-Custom switch panel for switches (indiglo guages, undercar lights, and shaved door handle popper switch)
-BRIDE racing steering wheel (blue/black)
-NRG steering wheel release hub. This allows me to remove the steering wheel and take it with me so no one can drive away with the car. (Starter is disabled when the wheel is removed too!)
-JDM air conditioning unit from Japan, swapped out the factory switches which were worn out and did not light up correctly.
-Pilot RS-1 Tuning anodized blue pedals with carbon fiber inserts
-Autometer shift light mounted on top of steering wheel
-JDM turbo fog light switch
-StreetGlow OPTX 9-inch neon tubes mounted under dash to light up my floor and feet in blue
-Streetglow OPTX 12-inch tubes behind the seats

Engine Mods:
-TRD intake system (actually only a few inches long it's not all fancy like most intakes are)
-Custom made motor mounts
-BOSCH upgraded spark plugs and wire set
-Custom made magnaflow dual exhaust (I painted it black) and have chrome 4.5 inch tips
-TRD coolant cap cover
