    Installed the leather TRD shift knob to compliment the JDM leather steering wheel, so much better looking. Thank you @Rude person's for the quick shipping. I guess I can't stay away from this forum @Xterra72 @Accordlayingkit @Burna J image.jpg

    Swapped my Priuschat foglights with H11 LEDs. While I was on it, I also wired the fogs to turn on independently.

    @Ramtart, you got off work early last night, I made it home a little after 2am, with another hours work waiting for me in my home office.

    Still had time to swap the black carbon fiber badge backgrounds over to white. o_O

    I went ahead and swapped out the red carbon fiber for the silver/gray. Figured it would look cleaner with the wheels I'm planning to put on. I wanted to keep the original badges, so I improvised and made a plastic template out of leftovers from the Auto Trim remover tool package I bought the other day haha. Low budget McGyver style lol.

    Silver looks much better in my opinion.

    I always prefer the more subdued look and besides, red doesn't go well with my spring wardrobe. ;)

    I also have the silver but went with the black for now, just to give it some contrast.
