Those look great. I had seen those before somewhere and wanted some. Sucks they are that hard to find.

Do the headlight ducts hook up to the intake or anything?

He ducts can be made to hook up to the intake or any other part you would like to cool as long as you are willing to make provisions for it. I am going to use these to cool my trans cooler in this case.

Very Cool! I've never seen those before.

About $200 for the set new, I hope you got a better deal than that!

considering the fact that that does not include shipping to the us which most will inflate because it is coming from Japan. i think what i paid was just fair and not even close to that.

After years of looking for these I finally found them! These are elford Japan headlight ducts. One of the only sets in SoCal and one of the few in the us. Totally stoked I got a hold of these! They will be painted soon enough and I will probably have one of the last pieces for my exterior soon too!

I am riddled with jealousy! Awesome find, didn't even know something like that existed, but I had imagined doing something similar-ish with those panels. Times like these, I wish I had a 3D printer...

finally won a original hilux surf rear spoiler from yahoo japan auctions and far less that some local guy wanted for his. i scored it for 19250 Yen before shipping costs. now to wait til it gets to my vendor in tokyo and then gets shipped to me here in the states.

Aww man I've got that exact blue II spoiler in my garage waiting to sell. I didn't have a box that fit so I've been holding off. I didn't know I could get that much for it though. I figured $150 plus the USPS shipping. I've got the console altimeter/compass I waned to sell as a bundle too.

KZN-185 ive got some questions regarding the center dash console for the surf and i was wonderig if you could help me out with and possibly help me aquire some parts as well. since the center console on the surfs are a 3 din i wasnt sure how the 3rd dine was attached to the rest of the dins. since us models only have 2 dins i presume the brackests are different on Japan spec Vehicles? can you shed some insite to this for me as well as help me fine the parts i need?

nothing really crazy just a few updates with the 4runner nothing major.

bought some signal lights from a member that didnt use them in his shockworks bumper. had to do some modifications for it to fit my ODL bumper but overall i very much like how they came out.

i swear is it just me or is it everytime i order a icon part i have issues with it. first the rear shocks i ordered a few years ago had an issue and icon had to fix them. now my external cdc resi coilovers dont fit my truck and the hose running to the ecternal resi is freaking short. sigh....

well here are a few updates to my center console project. i finally rounded up all the parts i needed for the conversion. keep in mind i dont recomend any one to try this unless they really are either bored, like the challenge or have the time and money to. i have cut up quite a bit of things on both japanese and us consoles to mate them together. as well as behind the console to clear the 3rd din pocket.
