Ok....the new wheels was surprising....but modellista tails and rear spacers?! What the hell man...... Getting out of control with these mods and beating me >_<

Btw, good choice on the tails. If RS tails weren't ever made, I'd get those modellista tails. A member on YW had them on his white car, lowered...looked damn good.

I call it the Micro Image Garage effect. You can't walk into the greatness that is Garm's stock of parts and NOT leave with something.

Thanks! Yes I like they're pretty cool but what I love most is that they're NOT RS tails. Don't get me wrong I like the RS tail lights and the RS Vitz is badass but I prefer the car to be unique when it can be. The Modellista tails were a great choice for that.

lol....if you would've told me you drove all the way to SoCal, I would've told Garm, I would pick up the shift knob and HID kits right at his doorstep.

I was free ALL DAY TODAY......

You can always take the JDM Modellista route

Sweet. How mucho? Where did you get the from? Does the passenger seat still fold and slide like the OEM one? I guess it doesn't matter to you since you removed the back seat, but that would be kind of a must-have feature for me What did you do with the airbag sensor?

I guess robbing your neighbors must have paid off

Garm sold them to MGargano for 300. MGargano sold them to me for 650 shipped from New Jersey with brackets and sliders + $50 deposit for me to save up to get the $600 together for a month and a half.

Slide yes, fold no.

I uninstalled the one from the driver's side seat and planted it on the Momo's. As for the passenger seat, I use CTScott's airbag bypass module to turn the 4 weight sensors into a switch to keep full airbag functionality. He charges $50 for it, quite a great price really for its usefullness.

Yes, yes it does.

Can you adjust the angle of the back though? As you would with a regular seat?

No they are fixed back. They don't recline or fold.
