[MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] recently convinced me to do a build thread and up until recently I was not taking detailed pictures of the work I was doing. I had to search all my posts to find the photos I did take. So here goes, in order...

 

[GGFerrier]

Interior LED upgrade, footwell and courtesy lights...

 

[GGFerrier]

Repainted the plate surround and prepped front bumper for the lightbar...

 

[GGFerrier]

Stereo, speakers and lightbar...

 

[GGFerrier]

Flush mount rear floods, wired to OEM defroster switches...

 

[GGFerrier]

1200w inverter install and Scion 110 outlet plug. Center console mod credit goes to [MENTION=74071]Brilliant[/MENTION]. All the switches are wired to the cigarette lighter ring for illumination.

 

[GGFerrier]

Rear 12v outlets and cargo area light.

 

[GGFerrier]

JDM Fender marker install. Special thanks to [MENTION=46895]sogoood[/MENTION] for the JDM measurements.

Remember, measure twice or three times and cut once.

 

[GGFerrier]

Satoshi grille mod. 96-98 grille, customcargrillz.com for the mesh and an OEM badge from a '77 LC.

 

[GGFerrier]

ScanGauge II installed in the steering column plastic.

 

[infamousRNR]

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Looks good

Hard to believe this is a 16+ year old engine. Waiting on some blue techflex to put the finishing touches on my new vacuum hoses.

 

[GGFerrier]

It took some searching, but I was able to find a '99 Camry Limited wheel and airbag... $75 total at PnP. I had to use the Camry airbag because the internal mounting of the airbag and plug were different.

All you need is a torx bit, 19mm socket and breaker bar.

Couldn't be happier with the result.

Fun with sandpaper and spray paint.

Keepin the blue theme going...

I am absolutely loving this build. Hope you don't mind if I steal some of these ideas for my own 2000 Limited. The LED lighting upgrade in particular looks amazing.
