Late 2002 Highlander with 2AZ-FE 4 cyl VVT-I

I have added:

K&N Air Filter
4 Piece Ventshade
Grobowski Mud Guards That actually do mold to the fender and look Great
Manik Step Bars
Lund Hybrid Bug sheild
Factory Rear Spoiler
a hood scoop that I think looks factory and awesome
I purchased the scoop which is fiber and ABS from a Keystone Automotive catalog and had my buddy at a body shop paint and mount it
Pics show old Artic Bulbs I recently had HI and LO HID systems installed.

Inside:
I have upgraded speakers with Rockford Sub Rockford Punch Amp and Rockford tweets ( Sounds Unfreaking awesome).
In dash Nav unit stereo head unit
Genko EC Mirror with Outside Temp and Compass

Very Nice, Is the Soop Functional? I was thinking going with the WRX Scoop but yours is far more aggressive.

Just imagining the scoop on my hood:

No its non functional. Could be converted to a cold air induction. I am looking at superchargers or tubos and if I go with something like that I will convert it somehow.

How hard was it to install the mirror. Did you hard wire it to the fuse box?

THe supercharger was made for the v6 camary motor, it the same engine for the v6 highlander the only problem was it would hit the fire wall and frame. someone researched it here . do a search. i know in japan the ydid a v6 turbo. Not sure what you could do with the 4cyl, Maybe intake and pulleys if you can find them.

The mirror question, was that for me? The one on my back is a universal bolt on and not powerd by anything. you just adjust it to see the rear of your bumper. I like to see what's behind me then to use the whole sonar beep thing.

I had my local stereo shop install it. I know the owner and he does great work. I watched the entire installation and you can do it yourself. You need to tap a +12v constant and a +12v ignition. If you get one with outside temp you must route a temp probe and harness thru the firewall and mount under the bumper. The hardest part was getting the factory mirror off. It was on there. Had to take it to a glass shop to get it off.

It was. Unfortunately Molly Designs longer make body kits and have changed over to digital graphics. You can try getting in touch with them if they any leftovers.
Install was very easy, couple self-tappers and special adhesive, not 3m stuff. took 15 minutes for the front and 15 on the rear, total 1/2 hour install.
