A couple of big mods today - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Let's start with the before picture...

Pretty standard looking Blue Ribbon Metallic LE

After some parts and a few hours of work...

I finally got rid of the only part of the Gen6 that is ugly, the grille. I also added some eBay fogs with Nokya 2500k bulbs, and I installed my Xenon Depot 4300k HIDs. I think I'm almost done the exterior mods. I was going to paint the headlights black while I had them out but, I changed my mind. I have an idea for the lights so they stay with the stock finish for now.

Thanks man. I'm going for the clean and simple look. With the face lift today it feels like "my" car now.
The Upper Valley is a nice part of the state. Did you visit anything in particular?

Very nice!!! The SE grille goes very well with your car.
Btw, did you cover up the squirrel spotters?

Looks great! I know I said this in another thread, but I can't wait to see your car in person!

Looks good mang -- glad you have that feel, a car never feels like it's truly yours until you change something that you want. Then you go into my mode and you look and look and never stop.

Keep it up, your car's coming together very nicely!

Nice job ,the SE grill looks waaaay better.

Your car looks nice with SE grill and fogs.

Could you take some more pics of the grill? I am looking to change my grill, too.

Thanks

if you wanted fogs/se grill why not just get it from the beginning

but props for the diy job

edit: can i ask what that green circle lookin thing is? (between the fog light and licence plate on my left)

We both wish we got the SE at the beginning, but I know in my case (and I believe Paul's), that we got good deals on the LE V6, and I know with me the only SE V6's they had nearby where loaded/semi-loaded ones near $30K.
