What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They are 17 and the offset is perfect I paid 840 for the rims from Frank toyota and 950 for tires fitted with 160 mail in rebates from discount tire so that makes tires 790. 1650.total
I didn't bother with spare because the spare gets all dirty and squashed on the frame so I would just save the money, unless you had extra cash to spare

 

Painted the calipers black today.

 

Hey

Hey wait.. what?!! How did you get a picture of my mother at the beach??!!

It's his sister. I think family photos on the start up is a good idea.

 

How long did it take?

 

Nice! Where did you get the Arcteryx decal?

 

If its all cosmetic, meaning no frame damage, then you should be fine to get it fixed and it'll be like nothing ever happened. And if there is a little frame damage, it could be that it's only a short portion of the frame that's damaged, if so it could be sectioned and fixed properly. The important thing is picking out a reputable collision center. That is where you will make or break yourself. Either go to a Toyota collision center or a corporate body shop with locations all over the nation, something like a Gerber or ABRA. I know you don't have any ABRA's in Florida but there are plenty of Gerbers, you get the idea though. It always seems bad being the owner and knowing that your brand new vehicle is extremely close to total, yet the insurance company wants to continue with the repairs. I work at a body shop and I have seen some horrible vehicles that are just below the threshold and end up being fixed. These vehicles usually end up in the hands of the best guy in there anyway, and the job gets done right. Regardless, let the body shop know that you want the most qualified technician working on your vehicle and make sure the manager knows that you have very high expectations with the outcome of the repair.

 

Yes, please do tell about the Arcteryx decal.

Oh ok , it's the tires tires that make it look like it sits a little higher . I think I'll get those tires too because I have the WT mud flaps as well !

 

Thanks for the advice! I'm up in Portland, OR so it is at a shop called Artistic Auto Body. They are a Toyota certified place.... at least thats what the paperwork said on the wall. So far its about $14k in damages and they are going forward with repairs. I am already calling about what the status is constantly so I will have to ask about the tech qualifications next time I call.

 

That grill looks amazing!

 

Well technically, I think the tires will make it sit a tad higher. The "70" is the percentage of the width of the tire in sidewall. Meaning the sidewall will be 70% of 265mm. A little taller than 65%. Which is what he had stock.

 

Thanks for clearing it up man . I didn't really understand how tire sizes work .
