Also, I guess it's the picture. The emblem isn't crooked at all but now that you've said that I can see it.

thanx. the Pinstripes are something I have been thinking about for a while. I wanted something different and could not decide how to start and end them. I laid them with the body line and then just finished it as is. White was the only choice as it was a TCUV Toyota, but I really like it, windows were tinted already so the look is already there. Here is what I have done in the interior (have with most my cars)
and this adds 10 horse power

I have an idea. I've used a similar technique when painting the engraving/etching on firearms. You use fingernail polish and completely cover the engraved area so that all the crevices are filled, then while it's still wet you wipe away most of the excess with a paper towel, then finally when it's completely dry you use fingernail polish remover (acetone) to wipe the smears and whatnot away.
Thank you. Yeah I love the whole grey/black/white theme of my car. I want to do more exterior mods so my eyes are pleased lol.. Not sure which exterior mods I want to go with. For actual MODS... I'm looking more towards a borla exhaust or a custom made exhaust. Not sure yet, also going to look into a cold air intake so it can have more of a choppy/low sound.

Hello everyone. I started some Flexidip painting near the beginning of the month. I was out of the country for 2 weeks and since I have been back, specially this past week, The painting bug has got a hold of me. This is what I've done.
Now I did have the trim around the shift lever painted, but the paint started to split on the bottom right side. I should have pealed it off and started again but the rest was so good looking I tried to fix it. no matter what I did it did not work. I don't have enough paint left so I pealed it off and I found that in the spot I was working it manage to damage the OEM rubberized finish. I am not to happy but nothing a trip to the wreckers can fix.

I've done a few cosmetic and utilitarian mods:- Plasti dipped the rear emblems black except for the "S"
- Plasti dipped the front Toyota emblem red (not sure if I like it or not)
- Installed Universal Rally Armor mud flaps (YES, I know it's not a Subie or even awd, but I wanted to protect the paint and OEM mud flaps are non existent)
- Spider decal (because I am pursuing a master's degree in entomology and my research involves spiders )
