I swung by on my way home tonight and took some more spy shots of the work at AirRunner. It should be done tomorrow.

Air lines...

Dakota Digital gauges...

Switches...

Stance...

I'll post up some pics of the finished product and maybe a short video after I get it home.

[DFish]

Very cool, but reminds me of this.... ;)

[Soeley]

Looking very good indeed!

Can't wait for more updates

I did notice that your door pockets look different to our UK spec though, ours go nearly the full length of the door with one bottle holder in each. Yours looks much shorter with twin bottle holders.

Here are the pictures from tonight. I picked up the iQ from AirRunner and took her home.

At ride height...

All the way up...

All the way down...

The switches...

Digital gauges...

Compressor and tank...

Gonna wash it up tomorrow and make her shine.

A short video...

Holy cre-mole-E! When it's low, it's low! It looked like the front mudflaps in front of the wheels (whatever they're called) were scraping on the driveway. I wonder if you left it that way, and they tried to clamp your car, would they be able to get the clamp on? You practically have an iQ SUV, without the 4 wheel drive at full height, looking at those pictures. Looking very good Taz.

Hahaha can imagine them trying to clamp that like, funny stuff

Btw taz, those the wheels? Or are those still steelies? Im blind

J

[surfcitylocal]

Those are still the steelies Jordan. The body kit and wheels will be on this week. I think you are right Robert, a tow truck would not be able to pick up the iQ at full drop, hmmmm, I guess I can park where I want and the iQ will still be there when I return. =)

I installed the painted mirror covers and front plate today then gave the iQ a wash.

[JordaniQ]

Jealous. Not even kidding. So prefer the scion look over the toyota look..but don't relaly like the shark fin aerial haha..not really the iQ type i think. Those pics can see the steelies more clearly..can't wait til the body kit and the wheels are on! Gonna look great.

Yep, definitely looking good Taz. I like the iQ plate on the front. It's good you don't have to have a front licence plate in LA. I'm not so sure about the shark fin aerial. It looks good, but maybe it's the colour for me that's not just right. Gotta go, food's ready.

Thank you. We are actually required to have a front plate in California, I plan on just using it for shows. I have ordered vanity plates so when they come in I will run the front and back plates. The shark fin is color matched to the Blizzard Pear, probably hard to tell from the photos. I'll have to see what it looks like with the FIVE:AD wing, I might go for the smaller shark fin at that point. We will see.

Picked up the tires from Toyo today, the body kit, wheels and tires should all be on tomorrow!

[surfcitylocal]

Picked up my tires today from the Toyo Distribution Center in Ontario (CA). Proxes 4, 215/40/18.

800,000 square feet of tires!

This is TOYOJO (Joe) who's been working for Toyo for 28 years. Great guy!

Ready to be mounted tomorrow!

I bet you're getting all excited now Taz. All the bits are coming together, and soon the jigsaw will be complete, sorry, the car. It's just the image I had in my head is like you found a jigsaw box with missing pieces, and now you're almost done collecting the pieces and soon, very soon we hope, you will have a complete set of pieces and your car will be complete. 18 inch wheels and tyres on an iQ! Can't wait. Don't be going off driving somewhere when you're done. You get those photo's uploaded so we can drool some more over your creation. I know we are'nt looking forward to this as much as you, but you do have us all hooked. It's almost like watching a favourite TV series, waiting impatiently for that next instalment.

Nice one Taz.

Nice comments Bob

David

[surfcitylocal]

That's exactly how it feels Bob. I should have the kit and wheels on today. I'll post up pics as soon as I'm done. Then the whole process starts over again on the interior.

[sweet-dentist]

Naaaice, naaaice.... very naaaice....

Peter

[surfcitylocal]

The FIVE:AD body kit, wheels and TOYO Tires were all installed today. I had the help of my buddy Rodney and we had a blast together. Here are some pics of the day...

Gotta head to my car club meeting.

[DFish]
