No, I had a local shop do the water pump, timing belt job. I did the rest. I would like to have done it myself but time was an issue as well as the weather. I have a decent set of tools in my garage but it's full so i work on my stuff in my driveway and we were having a pretty lengthy cold snap at the time.

how can u guys not like the woodgrain?
Ratman please tell me where u got all that woodgrain, I think that is one of the most classiest upgrades ive seen done to the interior here and im sorry to say but at my first opportunity I will be doing the exact same thing to my car lol.
Your steering wheel is first class as well.
That is the sort of tasteful modding im all about.

I already had the SEM on hand as I do interior repair, leather, vinyl, cloth etc for a living.
I probably should have just left it alone in retrospect.
I am glad most of you are liking it. Budget modding can be a lot fun, not as much fun as unlimited funds modding I imagine but better than stock for sure in most cases.

Its called waterslide decal paper and it comes in clear and white. You can get it from hobby stores or off ebay. Cost is about 3 bucks a sheet there, the more you buy the cheaper it is tho. The white makes decals to apply to darker surfaces and the clear is for lighter surfaces. I have an inkjet printer so I got the inkjet paper. You just type up what you want the decal to say and print it and then cut it out and apply it like you would for decals on a model car or plane. (dip in water and slide off onto the application surface and let dry)

Woodgrain kit came from ebay. You can search for this " Lexus SC300 SC400 92-97 Wood Chrome Dash Kit Trim Parts " company is called Hakimov and goes by the name of Doorpillars. They will take a best offer of $80.00 for the 1st gen set. Note that there were some quality issues with the cutting of the switchplates, they were not rounded off very well IMO. Overall I like it more and more but as mentioned before, I am glad I didn't add the pieces for the stereo and HVAC controls as they take it over the top into the realm of cheesy-ness
