Now you've got a third request for a pic. I'm curious what it looks like too but I'll probably only remove the A pillar.

I like the a-pillar removal. Def recommend that on all xB colors. The window tape is good on some, but not on all.

I used an X-acto knife on mine. Starting from the center, I cut out every other bar to create larger openings. Be careful and take your time. See

I did the same but cut out each one! ****, it took some time. I had to use a fine file & sanded them smother with 320 wet sand paper. Dry, use a tack rag & a few light coat's of Sem's plastic black paint. This stuff is about $13 a can but worth every penny. Use some on a center console years ago and it's still looks great.
My air intake temps are the same as outside temp per the ScanGauge II once I start moving. I also pull the flex tubing off of the inlet for the OEM air box. I then glued the plastic end of the flex tubing to the lower inlet of the OEM air box. I also drilled 3/4" holes down the back side of the inlet tube. Don't want hydro lock a motor! I did that with my first Toyota 4x4, I had to show the Toyota rep. the design would suck water right into the motor. The next model year Toyota changed the design of the air box on the 4x4 truck.
