    I cannot find those damn OEM side skirts anywhere...I know nothing of HID's but if I had some knowledge I would go that route. I will lower it when I can do something about my quarter panel, it was in an accident and for some reason the tire rubs on the inside edges of the panel. I feel like just folding the damn edges in lol.

    HID's are the easiest thing, thyre plug and play. Hardest thing about them is finding a spot to put them in the engine bay.

    The seats are actually Wet Okole seat covers. www.wetokole.com.

    And yes, I have rear disks but this picture was taken about a month before I did the mod.

    I started with parts off of a '96 Celica GT. But the Celica GT has 5-lugs so I had to drill out the rotors for 4-lugs. If you have a half-decent drill press it isn't difficult.

    Here is the link to my DIY. All the pics have been reduced to thumbnails with the new Forum software. http://trdforums.com/community/threads/rear-disk-project.32956/

    I want to get matching door inserts as well, but I'll probably have to make them myself. I wish my interior was black instead of that grayish-tan color. [IMG]

    The Wet Okole covers are made in Hawaii and are made out of the same material as scuba-diving wetsuits. They were originally designed for people who get out of the water at the beach or the pool and climb right into their cars. The word "okole" supposedly means "ass" in the native Hawaiian language; i.e., you can sit your wet ass down on the seats and it won't hurt them. :D
