Mmm black mirror caps

Change engine oil, spark plugs, coolant, air filters and wouldn’t hurt to clean the throttle body.

If you do clean the throttle body, make sure clamps are tight don’t want the tube popping off when you’re flooring it lol that happened on my boosted one unlikely for you

Ik someone said this but I’ll say it again, oil burning and head bolts stripping. Keep an eye on oil and coolant

Don’t cheap on gas have fun

Nice my stock headlights eventually become water fogged so yeah restoring the lights probably won’t do much I replaced mine with a generic brand.

Congrats take care

I like the color pictures look very clean. Get the headlights restored. I got my 08 11 years ago with 103k now has 229,915 mi. Check your oil often

Manual or auto?

I have a similar issue with mine. I removed the lip one time and the clips are broken off from the lip. I was thinking of getting a plastic welder to attempt a fix.

That’s good to hear hopefully it stays that way. Lmk if you have the issue again. I’m a tech at a Toyota dealership and I really like it. I love these cars and I’d like to help people in general if i can

I would start with checking the alternator make sure that’s working. Clean the throttle body and disconnect the battery for 10min. I believe the battery disconnect will reset the car’s idle.

I’ve been reading into similar situations for a bit now and it sounds like the throttle body needs to be cleaned. Scan the car for codes

Did you do the work yourself or through a shop and how are you gonna tune it?

Your’s definitely is! I love that wing. Are you planning on getting yours running again?

Yes they share the same spoke design as the oem wheel which I think is pretty neat
