2001 ES 4G64. Already has sprint springs + kyb agx, 2.5" catback, front slotted/drilled rotors and the rear windows tinted. The tint is coming off to meet legal specs, putting a stock muffler and solid rotors back on. I'm taking all the stereo equipment from the 2G and putting into the 8G and I'm picking up a grill next weekend. I'm undecided whether I want to kit it or do a mild JDM conversion.

i agree with blacking out the heads/grille until you do the JDM stuff. Also 5 speed swap FTW!!

Just want it stock and to look good.

Don't care for a loud exhaust on a 4 cyl NA. He's in Korea then heading to Germany for his next tour of duty. He's in the process of getting an 03 M3 and he still has his twin turbo toyota.

I know but I need a grill in the mean time.

Reg...I would go with a 5 speed swap and a mild JDM exterior conversion. Keep things relatively simple, but you would still have a sweet looking 8g.

Start swapping my audio over from the 2G, still have a few components to go. Kenwood headunit, JL front and rear speakers. The new kicker sub and amp combo is coming soon ;) Don't need everything to match as this is one of the best combos I've done yet.
