Here are some pictures and some brief details about everything that has happened before the build thread.
First thing I did was replace the stock sound system. I ended up replacing the front door speakers with a set of sound ordinance p52’s, the rears were replaced with a set of kenwoods, and the head unit was replaced with a JVC kd-r760. I also added an 8 inch powered sub to complete the sound profile.

Next I installed an outside temp in dash to the left of the steering wheel. I used a cheap thermometer from Amazon that has the temp sensor in the driver’s side mirror. Here is where I mounted the screen.

Next were the led fogs. I knew right away when I got the car that I would need some more light. Being on a tight budget at the time, I went for the cheapest option, a 40 dollar set of led fogs bought off eBay and installed in the lower valence. I quickly regretted this because the light output wasn’t that great and they didn’t last long. They were replaced less than a year later by another set off of eBay that have much better light output.
This worked for awhile but I finally broke down and retrofitted the headlights with projectors. I chose to install some 3” fxr projectors with 35w morimoto ballasts. I modeled my design after the retrofit that @rickashay did on his 4runner. Originally I intended for the halos to be white, but after I baked the lights and sealed them, I found out that the heat or something had caused some of the white cells to go dead since I had tested them last. So they ended up being orange and I think I actually like this look better.
Here they are installed

The last major thing was tinting the front windows to match the rears. I went with the 3M colorstable film and this made a world of difference in the heat transfer through the windows while driving and as a plus the film is guaranteed to not turn purple.
Some other pictures:
Rear storage that I got for free. This will be getting an update sometime this fall.
