Yes, Krylon stain glass paint. Works on glass and plastic. Prepping is always your biggest factor.

You did a good job.

I'd be concerned about the paint chipping all of the time.

Damn, these super wide threads suck...

i agree, post your p ictures on separate lines so we can scroll down and dont have to scroll across..

looks good though! do you have wheels or just springs?

phuangk · 04-12-2008, 06:00 PM

Springs. I ordered the TRD center caps from the 18" wheels, which should be here on Monday. I am thinking of painting/powder-coating the stock 17' wheels the graphite color the 18" TRD's center caps come in.

nice work man.

haha
looks clean.

Well last night I started the lowering springs install. This is what the finished product looks like for now. It has some settling to do. I measured before the install.

Before the TRD springs the front was 28" to the fender and the rear was 28 1/4". I'm going to wait a few days before measuring again.

Oh BTW! I left the center caps off for a reason. Tomorrow I should have my TRD center caps which I will pop on once I get them.

alexdadoof · 04-13-2008, 08:30 AM

Lookin good man!

i think a set of rims and lo-pro tires would complete the car totally.
=]
try wheelmax.com I'm gonna be getting my rims from there.
make sure you go in for an alignment after your springs settle. just in case.
u dont want your tires to be wearing un-evenly...

Looks real good!
now to do that exhaust!
haha
