    More work than I wanna do personally for a little bit of color, but I appreciate the grind and it does look good. My '00 Plat 400 will live its life bone stock until it leaves my hands but they are such great cars from the factory, I don't even mind. Keep up the great work!

      Long story, but I still need a passenger side arm in 65mm. I purchased a pair from a guy and only one arrived (driver’s side).

    Ive been waiting for a uz to pop up in the junkyard in greensboro, so i can rob the covers. Are the 2uz plastic ones on the trucks, the same as ours?

      I’m not sure. You could cross reference the part numbers and see using a site like www.toyodiy.com/parts/xref 👍
