Today I was heading out to get a quick car wash while on the way to pick up my friend and my girlfriend. Before I even go to the car wash, a Civic with 2 young guys in the front, and 2 girls in the back was pacing in the lane to my left. I didn't notice them at first, because I was singing along to "My Boo" music video with Usher and Alicia Keys, but when they were next to me I glanced over like I usually do, and I noticed the girl smiling at me. Then as they pulled ahead a bit, I see the guys looking back and smiling. As we drove alongside each other at a very slow pace through traffic, I heard the guys say "NICE CAR!" I looked at the girl again and she was still giving me a naughty smile. I couldn't help but smile and laugh out of flattery. BUT I already have a girlfriend and if that girl was one of their girlfriends, I feel bad for them, lol.

After the car wash, it was over... Nothing but turning heads everywhere I went! We went to a mall and in the mall there was an indoor garage. While I'm going through the garage, all you can hear is my mean muscle sounding exhaust and that definitely turned more heads.

After my day has been finished with my girlfriend, her sister and her boyfriend. I was driving my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend back home and I accelerated pretty hard to make a turn. My friend told me a few guys came out of the corner store to check out what the sound was.. hehe

While driving back home, I had my music videos playing and I noticed a few more cars pacing behind in the next lane. When I was almost home, I had 2 sportbikes watching the videos too.

This happens all the time and I never get tired of it. It always brightens my day even if I'm in a bad mood. Guys, girls, middle aged men, they all give nothing but compliments and it makes me feel soo good. I guess this is how it feels to have breast implants, lol. Just last week I had a guy in a Jaguar compliment me while driving through traffic. Kept telling me how sick THE BAT looks. He was calling it THE BAT! lol even though his coupe costs twice as much as my Rav.

Shopping around for BBQ supplies, girlfriend tanning in the Rav


Rav4 parked and looking good while waiting for other passengers to finish buying stuff to BBQ


Girlfriend wearing my Army Jacket because it got REALLY COLD by the beach




So we drove everything back home and BBQ'd in the front yard instead. Parked the Rav right outside as a Stereo on 4 Wheels

It was a pretty horrible night, $4 for 10 minutes, I spent too long using the pressure spray soap cycle and Foam Brush cycle that I only had around a minute left to pressure rinse everything off and then pressure clear coat (which allows it to air dry without leaving water spots) I ended up having to get another $4 for another 10 minutes and spent the entire 10 minutes pressure rinsing and clear coating -_-

Then when I tried to auto start the Rav, all I heard was the electrical clicking, but no turning. So I immediately stopped the auto start process by hitting the brakes, turned off the parking lights, hope there was enough juice to crank and it started! Phew, crisis averted!

Now my interior feels so much more FUN! Everything is blue blue blue!
Got a pic inside the BAT?
I'll take a few just for YOU

How did you go about installing them?
Simple, just pop the cover off with a flat head or trim remover. For the vanity mirrors and rear door, you will have to wedge in from outside the cover trim/molding, so the entire housing comes out.

Cool NYPD! 8)
Didn't go out at all the other day due to money issues, but I did tonight and remember to take pics for you. I took a few video clips because the pictures really don't justify how incredibly bright they are. If I knew that I could just replace the bulbs with a ton of super bright LEDS, I would have never installed my stupid pillar lights.

My girlfriend was probably wondering what the hell I was doing.

For the rear door, you can just get a LED bulb replacement, but I don't think they are as bright as multi-LED circuit boards. Though the circuit board was a VERY VERY TIGHT fit for the rear door. I would like to see a bright white led for the rear door, because I can see my entire rear cargo compartment at night now, except it's all blue... -_-

What happened to the originals?
They were installed crappidly after I had to replace my front bumper from getting side swiped, therefore they got ripped to shreds during winter with holes all over them from my tires rubbing against em.

In other news!

Got the trucklet detailed inside and out today... to get ready for the big day Monday...:(
