    @ Hummer: Sorry, was reading it out of context.
    Yes they are doing a great job, just taking thier freakin time about it
    and no I do not wear pop coller shirsts or anything close to pastel. Black IS a color.

    @ Mack: I have asked CBass about a kit and getting it here, but no response. How often is he on here and checking his replies?
    Would like him to look into theat front lip I'm after.

    So today marks the cab being in the shop for 5 weeks. Would have been done I suppose if I did not ask for the additional work on my bill. Then again would not have found out that the rear left door handle was at a breaking point...
    The clip that holds th cable to open the door snaped off when they took it off the body. getting it fixed though.
    Hope to post more pics after taking delivery of her hopefully before the end of the week.

    He's not on here very often, he's in the middle of painting his car, and he can't multitask.

    So getting her back on Friday now.
    Well so they say. 5 1/2 weeks, I will have to learn how to drive her again, espeacially at the speedhumps.

    Need to ask, why you guys like to add the sungaurds to the doors, so much so that you put it as a mod in your sig?
    Is it really sunny and hot where you stay and does this help or is it just for looks?

    Next big thing on my list to save for is a Webasto sunroof and the Suspension bits.
    Bodykit is minor and will get done inbetween.

    I put them on for function. It rains a lot here and if I open the window water comes dripping down on my door controls. Besides, they are OEM Mugen visors that had to be imported from Japan. So I guess thats kinda cool...

    Will go ask the dealers if they have them.
    We have bonnet gaurds and headlamp gaurds in the same fashion as the visors here in SA. Clear and in Carbon look.
    We get the one for the rear window too, but not like your more solid looking ones.

    Well today is the first time I see a pic of your cab ever.
    Function over Form- very good way to do a build.
    I have it similar, The mods I have done are only cuase the origenal broke or had a problem and thus improving the car for a reason.
    PS your car does look sleek.

    The ones I currently have are the cheap ones yes. And I have them for function and form. It gets really hot here (118 F) so I can leave my windows down a bit when parked to keep it cooler. And it rains in the winter. And FYI I'll be getting some jdm ones that say Toyota on them :D

    If I had something against gays they would be happy. ;)
    You can be gay in many ways without refering to actual sexual prefences.
    But if you see what I said in that way, Mack should be gay and Im a lesbian
