I rub my vech in olive oil and then lightly brown it. If it's crispy, that's good. If it starts to break up and smells a little burnt, that's to much done to your vech! :?

It is wise not to add it up with what you are planning. I think I have put $24k or so into mine. I started with an SR and seeing you are getting an auto, that is worth considering as you are going to pul off most of the SR5 bling and head unit.
