next mod?

Grill.

If the Thai people ever want to return my emails that is..... Ive also got a friend getting a price on TRD grill + whether I need the VIN or not.

Good news and bad news..

Good news is I got a quote from a Toyota Dealer and I can use my VIN for it...

The sh!t thing is the price is too massive...Not worth it...=S

Maybe It's bcoz Im not a TRD owner, so they raised it.. :(

Just thought I'd pipe in here with anyone considering this mod also considering taping off the convex surround of the projector to keep the chrome part

Don't bother. I took heaps of time masking off this area with high quality masking tape and started painting. 5 hours later the tape came off, and so did most of the chrome. The coating is only extremely thin and not too strong. Normally I'd blame poor quality masking tape on this but with only 5 hours of cool ambient temp using 3m masking tape, I don't think I'd have much luck with anything else.

So FYI, it's black or bust
