I thought they'd be a bit darker than that - but looks okay.

I like the eyebrows, but not a fan of yellow fogs personally.

Did you remove the "Solara" off your trunk? What's in its place? Hard to tell from your pic.

If you look close the reflection looks like it says TRD.

How did you wrap the tint around the part that sticks out on the tail?

It looks better than stock Gen2 tails... LOL

I am not a big fan of yellow tinted fogs either, I would prefer some yellow bulbs better...

Eyelids look nice.

Do you have a TRD sticker on the back of your car where the Solara emblem used to be?

That's the eyebrow, and the yellow fog film.
The only reason i did yellow film was cuz yellow film gives a bettter look during the day even though the light isn't on. I tried the blue film, but doesn't stand out that much


[img][img]http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/8765/halfkf2.jpg[/img][/img]

Yea, I took the emblems out, but I didn't know there's two holes, so i had to cover them up with TRD stickers


Also the smoked tail, I got the 20% which is not that dark, since we asked the CHP officer that if i could get ticket for that, and he said "as long as the some red is visible then it would be fine" so thatz why i didn't get 35% film, which is the same color as my car paint. :)

and Thank you guyz for all the replies.

I heard from somewhere that some people doesn't like the yellow fogs because it interfere with the HID?
I took this pictures, and I don't think it really does that much or does it?

Well, it's pretty much a matter of aesthetics, but it comes in handy in bad weather, or when you have cheap Silverstar-type bulbs :lol:.

In real HID, usually the kelvin rating is too high to be properly seen in bad weather, so the addition of fog lights bring out everything, and that's even the reason manufacturers still insist on OEM fogs being Halogen, and yellow/amber colors amplifies the light more.
