Definitely agree with the A-pillar tape removal for your color RS, but the window and B-pillar tape removal is clearly a question of personal preference. Whatever pleases you dude !

I am thinking about it now. Saw one of the guys at 5 Axis designs today at lunch. Talked for a minute.

Looks GREAT!
I see you removed the vinyl on the a pillars and around the doors . (B & C) There is a pice of vinyl between the front & rear doors (b pillar) did you remove that too?

Ordered rear spoiler, TRD sway, fog light kit. And picked up some touch up paint and the clips to hold the floor mats.
Oh, anyone buy a OEM "Scion security system"? Was it worth it?

Thanks,
AZ
