well im back in jax fl for the next week or so and i hope to finish this time around if every thing works out ok!!!
i finaly received the gt4 front bumper brakets from champion toyota, it took like 4 months to get them, but are well worth the wait!!! i also got the sides installed the otherday along with some other bits, but before i continue i must ask if yall think i should paint the hood scoops or leave them black??? we cant decide!!!! lmk what u think...
any way, all that needs to be finished is:

rear cover & tail lights: paint/install
trd wing: paint/install
door handels & sidevew mirrors: paint/install
a/c compresor & cc: install & charge
front end: install
rear glass: install
wet sand and buff
interior: install
exhaust: install
wheels & tires: install
drive and enjoy!!!

hear is a few pics of were we stand...
gt4 bumper brakets installed with crash bar...

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Looking very good. IMO i'd paint them. But its your car and decision.

i think you should leave the scoops black , adds a bit of contrast and make them more visible

I second that. It would look good with the three small vents painted red and the large center one left black.
