About a week ago i began to buy the supplies need to start and finish my project this summer. This is going to be a big fiberglass project....

1. First i bought a 5th gen bodykit (the invader one) and i am going to mold it on, then i got some Carbon Fiber Door Mount CF Mirrors that i will mount onto the doors, and remove stock mirrors with a custom fill in. In the rear i will shave all emblems and make a custom mount on new rear bumper for the license plate, i am going to cut a new hole on the drivers side rear for a second muffler exit. (dual exhaust)

2. I am yet to buy or will make Wider Flares for the fenders, then i will get wheel spacers

3. I am going to take out the existing carpet, and buy some spray in bed liner for truck boxes, and spray that down for a black floor that is durable, then i will get a set of those diamond plate floor mats

4. I am going to strip down the entire interior, the hatch and back seat area will be in all fiberglass with a small sub design. The door panels will be custom fiberglassed with speakers (i already have system 10) the dash will be molded into the surrounding pillars. I am going to move the a/c panel over to the passengers side, and mount in a small TV screen. my CD player mount will be moved up over where the dash clock is above the center vent. I removed the vent covers so it will be a open hole. Then down below where the CD player was i will put in 2-4 Small gauges(or somthing else, UNDECIDED)

5. I will purchase some red racing seats, and take out stock seat belts and put in a racing harness kit.

6. The center console will be fiberglassed with a new rounder custom design.

7. I will be purchasing a new wing off a TRD 7th gen, and cut and fit it to fit onto a 5th gen. Then purchase 7th gen heads and tails and those will be mounted in too.

8. I bought a hood scoop, so that will be cut in and made functional. Also will get some fender vents, and some type of grille for the front.

9. I am going to get all suspension bars for the interior, either custom or boughten (rear tower bar, hatch floor mount bar, Roof mount bar, behind front seat bar, mid-range rear bar, front engine bar, and a engine crossmember bar)

10. Coilovers and entire suspension do-over.

11. I got some 17 inch tires that i put on

12. After everything else is done i am going to do the 3sgte swap

I am not sure of how much i will follow throught with except the stuff i already got. not sure how it will look, please no critisicm, but once it turns into warm weather in minnesota, then i will start this project.

Once i start, then i will post pics and how-to's and whatever else i can come up with. Also everything will be painted when finished, the Main parts will be Mid-tone red, and the rest will be painted in Jet black gloss....all parts professionally painted. The exterior of my car will be left in Toyota White. Later on i will mess with a engine swap, but i am not going to do that until my engine breaks down, because its pointless other wise.

PS> For sure i will put on the bodykit, the mirrors, the hood scoop, and fiberglass the interior.

I received my Mirrors in the mail along with my scoop....i have began planning on how to put them on....I will be measuring out the center of the hood to possition the Hood scoop, then i will cut a entry whole the size of the inner scoop. So air will pass through and cool the engine below. I am debating upon leaving the grille in the scoop....and is there any precaustions i should take? will water entering the scoop effect the engine in any way? My Plan is to leave the grille off (unless its a bad idea) and then cut the whole in the hood, 2-side top on the scoop, and then mold it on with fiberglass. Of course i will have to remove the hood....

Then onto the mirrors, i completed the assembly of them, got them positioned....I will have to remove the original mirrors, and then custom fabricate a panel to mount them to where the original mirrors were. They bolt on with brackets....these are actually real carbon fiber mirrors, not fake imitation mirrors....they are the small sqaure style mirrors....will get pics soon of the scoop and the mirrors....
