So....not sure if many of you even remember me but I kinda stopped going on 6gc for a good 5-6 months now other than once in awhile leaving a reply on something. But throughout this time, I was going through a lot of crap and paying for my bad luck and tickets, and fixing things on the car.
However I'd say the biggest accomplishment I have now on the car is that it is FINALLY painted and not 6 different colors--god how embarrassing it was for me back then. But now, I feel good while driving and seeing the many heads turn.
The color of the car is Porsche: Titanium Metal, and the roof and rectangle pieces on the TRD wing is Mercedes: Crystal Galaxy Black (which I don't yet have on in the pictures).
Anyway just giving you guys a little sneek-peak, I've also yet to put on the TRD splitters and OEM rear valances and 404 skirts (couldn't find TRD) which I'll be doing later tonight. So i'll be posting more pics. Anyway enjoy!
This was me just bringing the car back from the shop so there were a bunch of pieces required to be put back together in my back seats.



Then after I sprayed my re-bar and put it back on, I decided to make myself some eyebrows in black to compliment the color of the car since I already had black accents. I used this gloss decal that is normally used for signs.

Please say you are buying rims soon. That would just be a waste of a paint job without some nice rims to compliment it.
Looks great otherwise!!

Honestly speaking, I didn't notify my insurance company or anything before painting the car--I kinda just did it. But looking on my registration and insurance paper, it doesn't state anywhere the color of the car so yeah...
And yeah i know guys, I totally need rims...jsut dont have the money for it right now, I'm thinking the first thing that's gonna go are my ugly yellow seats.

Yeah, my car's come a long way since the day I got it.
I got my TRD wing on ebay, it was one of those FS items that i guess no one trusted and wanted to take a chance with so i decided to, and got a pretty sweet deal for it. And when I received it, turned out that its not replica but was authentic TRD hence, the centre piece was polyurethane.
