    Where's that Bart Simpson smiley :p Wonder what a silver or gray body kit would look like on the red car? Two tone. Make the wheels the same color. Maybe someone that is good at Photo Shop or Gimp could produce a picture for us to ponder? Of course you could trade it in on a Blizzard Pearl and look really cool :pound:

    Have you forced Entune to not talk to the car and confirmed you can make it connect again? I did that a few times with my car tonight and it connects every time now. Whew :)

    Ya, that ain't gonna happen...

    Yes. I paired / unpaired (and forced closed Entune) on the iPhone 4 and my new iPad. I also tried it out with the original iPad and it worked as well, except it wouldn't let me connect that as a phone. It makes sense now since that iPad is only wifi and the new iPad is 4G.

    Well, if the price is right anything is possible. How does $30,000 for the pair sound? I could let them go individually for, say, $16,000 a piece? Let me know if you are interested. I have lots of other stuff I could sell you as well. ;)

    I have some really cool accents for your BP, Mike. How about some side moldings and door edge guards in Barcelona Red?

    I also seem to have an extra set of the lower door moldings --- most likely brain farted and lost track of orders during that horrendously long wait for the car to arrive.

    My train of thought was something like this:

    1) Ordered the side molding for some ding protection after seeing some on a BR (Three) at the dealership.

    2) Decided that the lower trim moldings would help tie in the silver of the rims as color accent. Ordered a set of the lower trim moldings.

    3) Realized that the BR side moldings and the lower Trim moldings wouldn't look good together. Planned on selling the side moldings.

    4) Saw some door edge guards and decided I needed to have those. Oh, and while I am at it, let's order a set of the lower trim moldings.

    5) orders from steps 2 and 4 arrive one the same day. Realized brain fart then.

    6) Pick up car which has, drum roll....., door edge guards. Somehow they installed those instead of the rear bumper appliqué that was on my original order. Not a problem because I would rather have the more heavy duty bumper guard (which I have ordered as well).

    So that's how I got to the BR side moldings, the lower trim moldings, and the door edge guards that are no longer needed. I blame Toyota and the local dealership for stressed-induced amnesia.

    You sure been thru the wringer :p You'll have no problem moving those parts on the forum. I would put a link in your signature to the for-sale thread so it gains more advertisement. I got the clear sticker on my rear bumper :p You know what would be nice? Get some 3M film on the rockers where your shoes could bump them getting in & out of the car.

    I have about 138 miles right now. I had 123.8 miles on the car when I changed out the rims and tires. Then it was off to the tint shop and then back home. Just washed it and getting ready for some Zaino Z-2 polish.

    Gotta make it look pretty for some pics tomorrow... :D

    Sounds like fun :)

    I have to wash the bugs off mine before I leave Tuesday. When I get back it is going in for the removal of all that 3M film and a new install that is done right. I don't want to get any wax on the car until after that gets done. I don't like having it dirty :(
