Actually it was pretty simple, just bought a 1/16 can of 3R3 toyota paint, with a can of clear spray for heat. Also a 1" paint brush. I just removed the wheels, and started painting really carefull with a paint brush, just 2 hands of paint per caliper. After that i sprayed each with the clear paint, 2 hands also.

They look great, they really pop out now. Even my wife love them, and she is fed up with me talking about the car....lol

OK so i need everyone opinion on this. I was going to buy new rims, but a friend suggested to paint mine gloss black. The thing is that im not entirely sure, cause I live in Puerto Rico so the roads here aint the racing type anyways. i was going to Buy 17 inch rims with 215/45 tires. Right now i have stock 16" allow rims. So what you think, buy new or paint stock?

Red accents look great on white.

Default New Look
Hey Guys,

So, i havent post anything on a while. I have done a couple of chages.
1)I installed the mudguards
2)Tint my taillights
3)Tint my spoiler and gas lid black matte.
4)Installed led red strips in the interior of the car

I just bought the TRD lowering springs. I should be getting them next week. So'll post more pics once i installed them.
