    There actually was traffic, believe it or not lol. That's why the car is in a different place for the front and back pics.

    OK so I went back through all the pics I've uploaded recently and re-uploaded them to their original size. So now, when you click on the pics, you'll get the original full size 4000x3000. I also added the links at the bottom of each pic, in case you wanted to view a different resolution.

    New pics for today (more scenic than of the car lol) :

    In the sence of you taking multiple images of your ride, you learn which angle and what tipe of shot works best with your car. Also accomaning that is you know the lines of it and all the gaps and scratches and dents on her.
    Is this more understandable?

    Well just taking pics doesn't always help, but rather, when people actually look at the pics and give me feedback, that's what helps me learn my car the best :)

    Something is missing on the back of your car, can't figure out what it needs.

    I think a taller flush mount spoiler would look good, like the Corolla TRD spoiler.

    So I finally sent my original front turnsignal/DRL LED switchbacks to V-LEDs so that they could exchange them for the new Gen 2 system, which fixes ALL the problems I had with the Gen 1. They exchanged them for free, even a year later!

    Gonna install them next weekend.

    I also got an LED flasher, so I don't have to use the built-in resistors. You can see it in the above pics ^^^

    Turns out the flasher location is a real pain... gotta remove the entire driver's side fuse panel from behind the kickpanel and pull the flasher off the back. It's the big red thing in the pic.

    No more hyperflash! Unfortunately, I didn't realize until I installed it, that this flasher doesn't work with incandescent bulbs, so it flashes kinda weird for now until the LEDs arrive.

    1. the first signal flash was white, every time, then it changed to amber
    2. the old style of connectors between all the connections were terrible and kept going out
    3. the resistors and control boxes were huge and barely fit
    so now the smaller boxes will fit much easier, the flashes are all amber, and the new connectors are boss.
