Yes, especially with this huge front bumper. I don't risk it, I just raise up the front when I come up to anything in the road.

No pics of the interior seeing nothing is done to the interior besides the double din Kenwood cd/md from japan. I'm going to be putting leather and suede soon. Then the little stuff like pillar lights, curtains, and woodgrain if I can find a company I like will come after.

The mirrors are in primer right now. It's helping us find any flaws. Once the final sanding is done, I'll post up some pictures. They turned out real nice!

Custom Led taillights are in the works also. Man when am I ever going to finish this exterior so I can work on the interior?! :P

Alright guys, quick update! I've gotten my Mercedes turn signal light mirrors installed and they look better than the one in Japan I showed you guys. My brother in law didn't make them look like a punching glove (so round and bulky) and he even kept the body line on the mirror itself. I haven't wired the powerfolding portion of it yet but that is next. I also have to say that the JDM toyota blue rain glass is great! I can see so much on the driver side with it not being magnified. I also like the little touch of the passenger side not having the whole "objects in mirror blah blah blah" I'll get some pictures hopefully tomorrow!

Total cost of mirrors
JDM Powerfolding Mirrors $250 (Birthday present from my wife!)
JDM Toyota Blue Rain Glass $150
Mercedes Turn Signals $110
Brother in law labor $~100

A whopping $610! Man the price I pay to be different.... But it's all worth it!!!

I also added the Tein hood dampners. I had them painted TCM with the mirrors. This mod makes the engine bay look so much cleaner, it's a must for show goers.[/
