I have not yet fully attached the bumper but yes I did order the proper parts. I ordered them from from toyotaworld. Once those get here I'm going to start priming everything.

Good, I am hoping to do the same with mine, but was under the impression that I needed to buy a clip or the whole front conversion to do it as seen in the article they have here. I will look at the website you looked into to see if I can buy parts and follow your lead -------------------- |

Ok so I got the ball rolling on my wheels today. A friend of mine plastic blasted one of the wheels and since I wasn't too happy with the finish I decided to paint it. I'll be doing the rest throughout the week. Here's a teaser.

Not very impressive lol. 17x7 or 7.5 +44 I think. Definitely going to need some spacers.

Thanks. I'm going with a set of 215/45 just to get the wheels on the car. I hate the current wheels.

Yeah you're right
 I got her 80% primed and then I ran out of primer. It's all good tho. I'm going to sand the primer down and do all of my body work soon. Then I'm going to spray primer next time instead of rolling it on.
