SUGGESTION ON MY PROJECT

hey... i have a 2005 grey altis S and i am startin to work on my car. heres is what i had in mind. any opinions will help ok? thank you

JDM black tail lights and JDM black halo headlights
Change the whole dash to a carbon fiber look
Change stock door inserts to carbon fiber
Get a carbon fiber altis grill
Get TRD 17' rims
Drop it bout 2 inches
paint calipers to red
Change the antenna to a stubby one from ebay
and eventually get a CF hood to go with the CF theme.

Do you guys thats a good plan? lemme kno what you think ok... open to any suggestions. im not planning to get a body kit. jus goin to drop it, i dont think it really needs one consider it has a factory body kit. reply back please. thank you again.

so far so good. they have a carbon TRD lip n a carbon trunk too. good luck with it!

do they have a carbon fiber grill?
and i think the TRD rims only come in 18" not 17

thx for the replies. yea, they do have CF grill. what springs are you guys have? i was considering the CF trunk but is it too much CF? lemme kno what u think. thx

if ure theme is CF then i guess too much is never too much? haha they also have CF M3 style mirrors.

i got hotchkis springs n i love it till i started rubbign cuz i messed up w/ the rims i bougt. too wide. so i got ground control now. it goes something like this

Eibach/TRD - Least drop, closer to stock ride quality
Hotchkis - Medium drop...around 2 inches settled. prettyh stiff suspension, good for auto-x setup while not sacrificing too much ride quality
Tein H-tech - medium drop...more for comfort than hotchkis
Tein S-tech - lowest drop...pretty good ride too
Progress - same as tein h-tech

correction

Tein S-Techs - lowest drop, stiff and rough ride.

and...

Tein SS Coilovers - stiff ride depending on damper settings, damper adjustable, height adjustable.

your list sounds good, any thoughts of the TRD Strut Bar or TRD CAI?

but then hotchkis are stiffer than teins. true though the h-tech is softer than s-tech

then there's GC coilovers where u can have customized spring rate

thank you for all the replies... it helps alot. i think ima stick with the TRD and drop it about 1 inch..oh yea. i forgot to write CF M3 mirrors and TRD strut bar and TRD CAl on my list.

NEW QUESTION. have you guys seen the CF gas lid and the CF e-brake handle? im thinkin bout gettin those too. havent decide if i REALLY like it yet. so if anybody has any input on that then it'll be greatly helpful. also if anybody knows anymore CF parts. let me kno. thank you

OMG.. too much "CF"... CF hood is enough for me....i think too many CF don't look nice... i wanna keep mine JDM look.. :wink:

you can get CF rims ive seen em on ebay, i think theyre for a scion tc.

They make a CF Trunk?!?! :shock: can someone get me a link to where I can get that... I've got the CF M3 mirrors on the way and saving up for the hood... would love a trunk too!!! :twisted:

Sounds like your headed towards ricey.

Wish more people just did subtle things to their cars instead of going overboard. There is such a thing as 'too much'.

Different strokes for different folks... I feel that having just a few modifications is fine if you just want a daily driver with some personal touches. if you plan to show your vehicle though, the only way to get attention is to "go overboard"... thats the only way to pull in trophies and get noticed.
