    moved my nook to on top of the factory radio... my fiance told me it would look better and be easier to use there. and as always, she was right:

    Toyota uses progressive or eibach as a "source" vendor 95% of the time.

    Looks good. Why the change? Did you lose too many mpg's switching to the ct200h rims?

    Yeah. About 6mpg-8mpg as best I can tell. The setup looked great, handling was improved tenfold and the tires are very smooth but I decided to switch back while everything was still new and sellable/returnable. The extra $250 or so I'll save in fuel will go into my IRA which my work matches so an extra $500 goes into it. It's not much but that makes me happier than the 17s did. :)

    got lazy, finished masking it off, gonna plasti-dip and glossify it tomorrow :)

    I will make sure that it is completely encapsulated. :p

    I will also test out the wiring, did you just reach through the side fenders for the installation or did you remove the whole front bumper ?

    thanks !
