So how does the gas mileage compare to before it was removed. I would think that it would be better than before, except if you were lead-footing it because of the added responsiveness of the acceleration. Any before and after MPG data?

I've read that you can request that your HID kit from Xenon Depot come with the necessary headlight bulb harness to adapt to the H11 headlights. So therefore you won't need a new headlight harness. I plan on getting a 9006-male-to-H11-female harness adapter from Gary Clark @ Innovative Wiring...

Make sure to keep us up to date on your progress and take lots of pictures along the way for a write-up. I'm really interested in doing this kind of thing too. Good luck!

What brand and color of paint did you use for the boards? Was it rattle can or did you use a HVLP set up? I have a Titanium SR5 that I want to do the same thing to. Also, what brand of adhesion prep and sealer did you use? A write-up would be useful for those of us that want to paint our old...

You'd be better off just trading your Limited seats for someone that has cloth ones. I'm in the process of going from cloth in my SR5 to an aftermarket Katzkin leather kit. So far I've only done the headrests, but the leather covers just go over the cloth. It will be a different story with the...

You might look into the Pioneer Premiere head unit that came in some Scion cars. I believe it has sub preouts, but don't quote me on it. Plus its plus-and-play just like the other Scion head units. Just a thought.

I'm looking to buy a damaged 06-up driver's side taillight. More interested in just the lens, but will take the whole housing if needed. I have one that has a cracked lens, and don't want to buy a whole new taillight. Thanks.

V-Leds.com sells an LED turn signal relay to prevent the hyper-flash/light out warning caused by the lower wattage LED lights. The part number is 81980-50030 and it sells for $16.59. I haven't tried it yet, but will be soon.

They're around Emporia, so they're not that close to you in Oklahoma. I don't know if the guy still has them or not. It was a classified ad, and has long since expired. However, just to let you know, I've been thinking of emailing him about the rims for my own interest, lately. No one replied to...

I'd like to help, but I haven't gotten the DRL relay yet so switch out, so I can't send you mine. I would, however, like to ask if you have the part number for the Toyota LED flasher relay. Does it prevent you from having the DRLs as well? I'm guessing it does since you're asking for a non-DRL...

They don't have damage as far as the pics indicate. There's minor pitting, and a spot of clear coat that has chipped off. I didn't go look at them because no one expressed any interest, and they're out of my price range. If the guy selling these was smart he'd be rather negotiable on the price...

OK, first I don't own the rims yet, and have no real desire to own them, but there is a guy that is selling them about an hour and a half from me. There's no tires on the rims, but has some (don't know the brand, sorry) that are relatively new to sell as well for $500. He wants $700 cash for the...

No, they will not work for the 2006. At least not without modifications to your front end. The bottom of the 2006 headlights differs from the 03-05 models. That is why you see the 03-05 owners changing their headlights to the 06-08 headlights.

You can get the headlights for a reasonable price on eBay. I bought one for a total of $50 and the other was $30. The wiring harness can be found on Innovative Wiring's website, you just need to tell Gary that you want a female H11 socket to a 9006 male end. They run $25 + S/H. The filler panels...

Don't pay any attention to what I like, do what you want. Its your money, and your rig, dress it up how you see fit. I'm sure there are people that think my ride is too conservative for them (its actually a lack of funds that prevent me from turning it into what I really want). Yes, you'll get...
