Fresh Pics!

Hey guys here's a couple of pics of the SS with my recent addition. The High Rise Spoiler on the 2.4






Now im on the hunt for black housing stock headlights as well as front/back lips and a drops of course.

Just got her a couple of months ago and so far I'm ecstatic.
Let me know what you guys think.

haha thanks! to glue it back together heat it back up (just stuck it in the oven) and the glue gets sticky again and press it together and it sticks right back.
i dont remember what kind of paint i used because i did it with my friend on his 4runner, and he bought the paint and i painted..i think it was some black gloss paint for plastic at autozone or something like that. and nope he said there hasnt been any leaks on it, and its been about 9 months and it turned out just fine.

The reason i ask for the paint cause i was wondering if i would need a high-temp paint or just plastics. But other then that this is getting done soon!

I think that trim would look best with no wing at all to be honest.

I thought about it after i took off my low rise, I didn't go well with me. I think it will look alot better when I add both lips and drop it a little.

it's pretty clean, but the more time you invest on it the more you will like it.

Yeah I'm going to invest on both lips and drop. Drop wise im looking at B&G or H&R. Still needa find some 2.4 SS pics with those just to see how much of a drop each give. I really want the SS/TC 18's but there a little outta my price range. If i can find some cheap SS/SC 18's that would be great, if not im staying with these 17's.

its not hard to do at all. when i took them out of the oven i didnt take the old glue/rtv off. when i was done painting them i reused the old glue and reinforced it with new rtv. most important......no leaks.

At stock height with stock wheels it looks bad wingless. My 2.4 does anyway... mind you it looks even worse with the high rise. Stock wing is the best until you get the full SC kit and a drop.
