Dealing with a bunch of work and stuff. Cant do much constantly but i got around to dying more pieces. I know this whole "dying" situation isnt contributing towards my drift project but if you sat in my car, you would want to go blind from the terrible color scheme that Toyota chose. Im trying to black out everything from the Dash down. I just did the doors. i have the side steps left, carpet, then im switching my stock seats for some Nice recaros. Im not going to do the pillars or headliner. ill leave the upper part classy and the bottom a party. The interior mullet.




Also, i have a friend that is a good graffiti artist. I want something different, so hes going to be doing most of the work in the engine bay for me.

heres a little sneak peak. I love it.

Wow, that Vertex wheel is very nice!!! Great finish on the dye job too. Car is coming along very nicely. Glad you are getting Recaros to replace the stock cloth seats. Maybe you could sell them since they are rare (but don't know if anyone else wants cloth in a Lexus, heheh)

lol i doubt anyone wants them. They're pretty cool too. The features on the seat i think have way more options then the U.S. seats

if anything ill keep them for spares or make a comfy office chair

Recently picked up a GoPro camera for Drift recording and events. Just gave it a quick test run on the way to work.

Not much going on here but small things. School is in the process of starting back up and i just came back from vacation. Recently Picked up a Defi Boost Gauge and Fabricated a Center speaker cover to mount the gauge on. I still have some open space so i just put my Earlshine air fresher on their untill new gauges follow.

I stopped updating this due to wanting it to be under wraps for a while. I dont want to update every little thing that gets changed but i figure i post up something. Picked up a set of Super Rare ABC Exclusive Glanzens. Factory Anodized gold face.

Fitment will be death defying

Its actually quite easy man.

Here's the steps.
1.Remove the shifter.
2. you will see 3 things. A metal rod and 2 wires.
3.The 2 wires are for the overdrive switch.
4. I just cut them.
5. if you need to extend them, get some standard wire and connect.
6. Go buy a toggle switch. it cost me $1. yea. one dollar.
7. Find a spot to place the switch and connect the 2 wires to the open prong that the toggle switch provides. Sometimes it might have 3 prongs. Try different combinations on which two prongs to use and voila. your done
