USA Quick update of my Rolla

Sorry for my scrub pictures last month .

Here's my latest update! Took off most of the TRD stuff off my car and cleaned up the exterior . Blue'd out my emblem's in the back to match the front. Took off the black tint on my tail lights (buying smoked led tail lights to replace em)



Car dropped on Tein S . it Handles (;




Upcoming mods
I'm thinking about having having those DRL headlights on my car. Maybe blue? Idk if its too much blue !
Exhaust, idk which one !

Let me know [:

I like some things here and there and some not.

So what are you dropped on? Tein S Techs or Eibachs? Or did you go half n half? Lol

I actually like the blue you have going on the front end... everybody usually goes with red. +1 for being different.

What I don't like... is the stickers lol. You also have anything TRD on your car? & Blacked out tails aren't really my thing as well.

Have you ever thought about making the rear T badgeand S badge blue to match the front badges?

Overall, it looks pretty good so far

Hard to see the drop without a side view pic. You just need to replace your front OEM split lips with a single piece front lip instead. Did you improve the handling with any bars too? Black tail lights have to go IMO.

i never thought id say this but the blue is a really nice touch on MGM!
blacked out tails isnt my thing either...but it looks really nice (maybe black out your reflectors too so they match?)
and you def gotta match that rear emblem! get that chrome outta here

i actually like the rear black trd emblem!

Car looks good with Blue, keep it going. Def need to have back matching front. Agree too with smoked reflectors.

Not sure if you knew it was sarcasm, but it also looks like you might've caught on with it, but it also looks like you didn't lol

Thoughts:
BLUE ACCENTS -AMAZING! I toyed with this when changing from white and was unsure how it would look, KUDOS!
One piece lip would help set it off
Not sure Im a fan of TRD Handle decals, might look better blue to match
Tails are too dark for me
Reflectors should match the tails
Wheels will help the look vastly!
Rear badge to match the front -might even color match front badge's background color

Do you have chome headlights? -if so, those need to be changed out

Still can't get over how nice the blue looks!!!

I don't really like the TRD door handle decals or the JDM one on the back.

Looks like he has the S headlights, if you look at it in some of the pictures, you can see the smoked housing, and also, he does have the S model

Not a big fan of the blacked out tails, but I do like the blue accents. On the TRD badging, get something TRD to be true to your word on what you got. I don't know about you, but I don't want to get caught with my pants around my ankles having to explain that I don't actually have any TRD parts on the car.

Strut bars =/= Struts.

But in any event I don't own a 10th gen so I wouldn't know really know even if they did release some.
