So this past weekend I decided to do some cheap mods on my car since I'm completely broke. I painted by wheels black, my calipers red, and my emblems black/red. For the front emblem its all black with red Scion lettering. I have more pics and I can always post the materials and a DIY if anyone is interested.

Painting wheels: $25, 6 hours
Brakes: $20, 1 hour

Tell me what you think!

i wanna see your speaker set up in the back!

[rudeman2k]

Shweeeeeeet Ride. Is that a speaker mounted in the top depressions in the bacK? Id like to see some more of that.

Thanks for the comments!

The c-pillar speakers are still a work in progress in terms of wrapping the MDF that is mounted to the panel. I'll clean out my car tonight and snap pics tomorrow when it's daylight!

I just went to the hardware store and picked up two each of the following:

black automotive primer
black bbq/grill paint (I know, I know, but its extremely tough)
clear coat

The trick is to do multiple very light layers.

I'm a bit embarrassed at how dirty my trunk is, but my sub right now is just a 0.8 cubic foot wedge housing a Boston Pro10.5 (one of the best ever). The 6x9s are Infiniti Kappas powered by an Alpine 4x150. It's almost too loud back there right now... I really need more sound deadening.

Upcoming projects when it gets more sunny outside are to wrap the rear speakers and then learn to fiberglass and do a custom sub enclosure. Anybody tried that before?

They're Enkei or52's that I got from my girlfriend's brother for DIRT cheap. I think total was $400 for wheels + tires. Nothin' better than modding on the cheap and still lookin good in the end

I did some glass work on a old truck I had. The box turned out great but be prepared to have your car smell like fiberglass for 2 weeks or so.

How about an up close pic of the emblem. Looks like you did a nice job with the whole thing.

What drop is on this? Are those 16's or 17's? I have those exact wheels on my Celica and would like to run them on my 09 box until I get my new wheels? Thanks

I just have the TRD springs (i think only 1" drop) sitting on 18" enkei or52's. I need to remeasure, but I think an offset of 15 in the back and 5 in the front would make it look hella flush up on the fender.

I like your car paint also, whats it called? is it factory color?
