Gotta ask. Are those doors really worth the money?

I think that they look pretty sweet, but I hear that they're kind of a pain.

BTW, I'm loving those taillights... Is that the Taillight upgrade tweaked? or is it something completely different. Either way... Those look tight! How much $?

You mean his pic or do you mean my car?

His pic those're the stock look of the LED tails. Mine are those tails with custom dual layer overlays.

Now I'm not sure

The lights that you have... i.e. the pics you posted, what's the overlays do for the lights? I'm just curious, but how much were they?

do you have some camparison pics?

Look at my pics, then look at the right image in my signature. The overlays are the vinyl tint applied on top.

Ahhhh... gotcha. They still look nice, even though I am blind, apparently.

Kind of funny thing to hear, given your avatar.

Being a character animator, you gotta love Edna! Brad Bird rules.

I'm really not blind, but I did miss it the first time.

Uh, again, was the overlay expensive?
As far as cosmetics, thats about the only thing that I would do to my car. Maybe the ground effects, but I dont know if it's worth the $995 +install pricetag. We'll see, because it really makes the car look different... I dunno yet.

Honestly, do you think that it's worth it? -what's everyone else's opinion?

What color's your car? I feel the lip kit looks awesome on silver, but prefer the white without the lip kit. Flint Mica can go either way, since it's more subtle on a car that dark, same for black. I think the Azure Pearl looks better without it, but is also fine with it, and the black cherry would look good either way as well. Silver to me really needs it, and white to me really should do without--again, all just my own opinion.

I think the price is currently at $150 for my exact overlay; remember that mine is two layers, with both layers custom cut. Doing a single layer and easier cut would both reduce the cost.

E -

My car's silver, like yours, only '06. I'm kinda torn either way. I mean, i'd rather spend the money on performance parts that actually work, rather than cosmetics, but we'll see how I feel once I actually have the car in my hands...

10 days - not that I'm counting.

I appreciate all the info - Thanks! Any reason why you went with 2 layers?

I really wish that little things like that didnt rape your bank account. What do you do for a living, Ed? Whereabouts are you (location)?

Between that and helping my dad and his partners with the opening of their new restaurant, I'm kept fairly busy.

Squeezing in these Scion meets into my weekend schedules is most of the fun I get to have.

-Ed

Sounds like you need a fun job, my friend

Either that, or clear up the schedule a little.
