Here's a shot of the engine bay:

Here's an upclose shot of the engine itself:

I finally got a cold air intake by Injen, and managed to install it in my car. The part number was RD2076P (P for polish). The car sounds mean now! Shout outs to Byron and Eric for helping me install it!

The TRD Front Strut Brace and Progress Rear Sway Bar are installed on the car as well. Here is an upclose picture of the TRD emblem on the STB:

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the Progress RSB but it has definitely increased the car's handling capabilities.

The Borla exhaust was also put on along with the STB and RSB, and it has a nice deep bass tone to it. There is some droning at cruising speeds (80 mph) but if you listen to music, you won't have a problem with it.

You can't really see the Borla logo as well since the rear bumper of the body kit barely manages to clear the exhaust.
