Congrats, dude. Glad you have the trifecta of Chogokin.



Frankly, if you have some interest in mecha...getting your toes wet on these three may start something...

I walked out onto the porch for an evening smoke and saw an identical-to-mine silver 04-06 TL ride by. I physically saluted and said "that's absolutely gorgeous" out loud, to myself. What a life

I feel that way every time I see a 3G TL.
Weathertechs sucked...the way they installed mainly, didn't really care about the brand although oem is always best.

I have had Weathertechs since forever for all my cars except the MINI. It's not terrible and gets the job done esp. with the messy winters up here...albeit, if I were in a climate like FL and it was just rain, I'd be OEMing foh shoh.

mats I like the laser cut weathertechs...burban has em and the Caddy did...otherwise I do OEM because it's just sand and not slush.

I've got weathertechs in the wagon; bought 2nd hand because I'm cheap.

Was going to get some for the 4runner but found that one of the knockoff-ish brands did a better job of covering the floor and up onto the sills.

Regardless, whatever brand I go with, I make sure to install them and then put the OEM carpet back in, and then put some Tasmanian Devil rubber mats from Jotozone on top. Then they get all jammed up under the brake and gas pedals so it's like fuckin' hyperspeed errywhere.

Yes, it was quite the smoke^

Found a solid guy in the DMV who will do a trans empty/fill for $40 and mount + balance wheels for $220. Seems like he's gonna be my go to for anything that takes more than one wrench!

Just saw a black 04-06 with some nice copper wheels. I don't hate my stock wheels anymore, but the silver still doesn't look right on my satin silver body. I might paint them metallic until i do something stupid like buy these

Sometimes, i think if going with 19" bronze/copper waffles on my AV6, but I'm leaning towards some titanium silver 20 spokers. Like on the new IS200 or like a BMW would have.

Nice.

Not a fan of the available aftermarket grilles either.

If anything, just do an A-Spec body kit.

It's funny. But at least this younger generation still has interest in modding their whips, weather it's good or bad, it's an interest.

Of course, this is the sentai world and well, that Soul of Chogokin line is rife with amazing releases from that genre...


Daitarn 3, Combattler V, Voltes V, Daltanious (reissue is even better), Daioja......

Odds are it'll deliver on the 26th because the truck breaks down a mile from your house.

Just setting your expectations in line with reality.
