Thanks everyone. 19's are gonna be back on soon. I am planning on getting a pre 97 rear bumper and a nice urethane rear lip, gonna do the same thing with the spray paint matching. Bumper coating to the lip. Probably get some real vertex sides as well. match everything properly.

Talking new pics.







Okay so I cleaned it up and found some good light. Put the lexus emblem back on, I am currently awaiting the chrome grill piece along with the plastic backing. These mufflers are much cleaner, I am trying to make this thing a little classier, the rice cans were not cutting it, everyone here has cans and tinted tail lights, I can't stand it any longer. I still have to buff and polish a few areas, but it's nice for now.

What in the hell is sitting in your passenger seat? Looks like an extra from I, Robot.

Yeah the stock front bumper looks way better. The color matching looks closer too.
Good luck with the build.

I love my stock bumper, and I do not have the funds to source an overpriced front lip. It's not horrible. Not perfect by any standards, but i like the aggressive look with the clean OEM bumper. So I'll leave it on. I have loads of pics of the all-trac, I will upload and link them this week. The thing in the passenger seat is a 1$ halloween mask put there to ***** with people and make them look thrice.
@***** its a cheap vertex knockoff. the front is OEM 97+ with a custom lip. Planning on replacing with more OEM and legit vertex parts soon
I never purchased this vehicle with the intent on driving a "lexus" hence the badge change, now that the lexus is back on I am working hard to clean it up and get my "super Hiro's" back on asap. Maybe some coilovers for a drop after everythings better.
Thanks everyone

Default new grille






So I got my OEM grille from luxurymods, looks great. I felt like doing a little dry carbon vinyl wrap on the center, also the B-pillars were fading a lot. So I wrapped them, have to say it looks 100% better. I went out to find these pics, and dont' hate on the hanging plastic. I have to go mount it back in place. I'm too lazy to photoshop it atm. so yeah.
