Got my thud back today....

Sound absorbing foam added to the outershell of the passenger front door now has it sounding the same as the other 3...solid!

Got an oil change today. Toyota couldn't take me (car too low

). So I got Mobil 1 and had my mechanic do it.

Finished installing my rims today. Had to wait for hub rings.
So here's the pic of my car. I put some 18x8 + 35 offset wrapped in 235/45/18 goodyears. These rims are off of a Hyundai Veracruz 5x114 so all I needed was a hub ring 60mm to 67mm.

I know they are stock looking but I wanted a more of a clean look with an aggressive tire.

Here's some pics let me know what u guys think.

My car stock:

With rims:

Side profile tires sit nice and flush for 235/

But as much as I like these rims and tires they will be for sale. I got lucky and found 19" highlander rims.

Removed my TRD springs with factory springs and had an alignment done.

Installed my LED taillights. I removed my front bumper to put on the SE grilled before, and now i had to take off the rear bumper to put on the lights. They look great, just need to be cleaned a bit.

Going to get them tinted on Sunday since i work 12+ hours tomorrow.

Got a letter in the mail about that window switch recall. I guess I can bring it in and have it done sometime next week.

Bought 2012 SE 17" wheels and installed them. SO much better than the 16s for a Gen 6.

Today i continued the on going debate with myself on what to do for wheels and suspension mods. Right now i have the 18 inch TRD wheels and its sitting on H&R lowering springs. I wanna go lower so i want coilovers but i dont know which brand. Ive had my wheels for a year and a half and i want some different ones. I cant decide on which ones tho, i want probably 18s but maybe 19s. And either bronze, dark gray, or a really bright silver. And any of the Drag or Rota models. Anyone have input? Thanks!

Just re-did my emblem since it was starting to fade from all the rain.

Black emblem, Eagle Eye LED taillights, and tinted taillights.

One of my personal picky issues is headlight aiming...

So often headlights are aimed perfectly horizontal and then, when the car rides a crowned road (more typical than not), the left side is higher than the right, a bit too high to my eye (especially when coming TOWARDS me), and at the same time with a loss of intensity for the driver, and worse, in heavy rain reflecting light back from the rain rather than focused on the road immediately in front of the car.

....and when I got Kitacam last month I noticed the left beam was actually HIGHER than the right...so finally....

...tonight I lowered the left beam a bit (lower than the right) giving me a nice, more intense light directly in front of the car and a more level beam on those 2-lane crowned roadways often I find myself on...

Bought some new tires 225-45-18 Achilles from temple city auto (great guys and great prices). The 235-45-18 were rubbing bad in the rear and don't want to roll my fenders(just got the car painted).

Got her all nice and clean for the great California weather !!!

Have a great Thanksgiving !!!
