Paint job - It is orange by day and under the streetlights at night it shifts green to redish orange. Very cool in keeping with the sleeper look. I have yet to see another like it.
Also note the clear corners...

HID conversion - The real deal not those $6 rice bulbs, though I had at one time owned a pair that did surprisingly well. They lasted over 2 years :-)

These are some gen 3 tails that i painted red metalic. Chrome is too bling bling for me.

These are the custom gauges I made for my car. They are white and gray, a big improvment over stock. At night they glow blue/indaglo. I seem to be getting alot of people who want to know where I got theses as you can see from my guestbook. I made these. It really isnt hard and I can make more gauges if needed. Just leave me a message in my guestbook that includes your email, or email me directly. We'll work something out ok.

Custom sleeper tach I made for this car. I dont understand why toyota did not include these since it cost me $20 to make and I'm sure they could do it for less then $3.

Second view of tach.

I got bored so I decided to paint my stock rims...lol. I started by washing, sanding and priming them. I then painted them with the same paint I did the rest of the cars trim. It turned out suprisingly well if you ask me. I also painted the brakes. I painted them green to match the color my car changes under the right lighting conditions. I know my girlfriend thinks they are ugly but I like them and I'm the artist her. :-P

this is the front. These took a little longer to paint then the rear.

I have changed the tails yet again. I like the clean look of the whites better then the gen 3's. I have 3 sets of tail lights for this car in my closet now lol.
