    Nice you did it!! The e-brake button doesn't stick out very much (at least not as much as mine) but it is chrome! Never seen anyone swap that before.

    Clever with the shifter replacement, I might salvage one off a Celica next time I'm at the scrappers.

    thanks man, this swap is really tough, a lot of custom work needed for the shifter, but ebrake is more straight forward, i like black and chrome to make my car less plastic and cheap feel lol...... that button is easy , just twist it out with a cliper and towel , and just twist it back in ( Rolla stock one is kind of long, is300 could fit, celica one seems too short )


    thanks man, but this swap isnt straight foward and need custom work, because the height and mounting place of celica shifter is totally different than rolla stock one.....

    Gold, i dont think u need to kill yourself if your car is sliver or something lol, i do admit is little boring, but more easy to take care sadly ( plus, 8th gen do have sliver color lol) LOL

    But to be honest, i probably gonna paint the same color so it gonna match up the paint code on that door sticker lol...... if i save up enough....

    so what color you guys suggests lol, i would love to hear

    How about a nice blue? The color you have now is fine, and then you don't have to paint inside all the doors and engine bay and stuff.
