Thanks man, I try my best to keep it updated through and through so that if there is anyone that's looking for info, they can find it easily without asking or tearing their brain out.
Thanks.
They are bawlin' aren't they? Haha.
We'll see Will.. If I do get a set i'm going to want a FULL set, and to be honest 3k+ for brakes is a huge chunk of change.
I'm going to stick with the LS400 brakes for a LONG time and make those work. If it comes to it and I really feel like I want to spend the extra 3-4 just 'cause, then i'll give you a holler for a Futura setup. I'd love to run them, just the price is so high. I could get my Gamu Front Bumper, Fogs, and possible the sides and rear for that price, lol.
With one of my friends who actually KNEW about this kind of stuff, it took us a total of about 3 1/2-4 hours to complete. We spent a lot of time cussing at the covers though, so if we did it a second time around i'm sure we could kill it withing 2-2 1/2 hours.
Thanks.

Was going to, not anymore, and nah it's not loud at all. I just was wanting other things done faster, so was gonna sell to provide more money for other things to come and pick up a JP Exhaust or 5Zigen farther down the road, but decided it's not worth the trouble with the police if I get pulled over.

Yeah I wish I could slap on the LXZ's. I'm waiting on the last wheel to come in from Japan and I was quoted like 4-5 months before it will get here, so not until mid June prolly..
Unless I get lucky and it comes early.. All good though gives me time to work on my suspension and other things.
Thanks man I appreciate it!

Alright guys it's been a while since i've updated this, but don't worry! I've got something grand for you guys today.
Still waiting on quite a few things for the car that have already been paid for, but I got this done just in the past week...
Say bye bye to custom interior and hello sport design black!
I'm still in the works of getting real good photos of the interior, but the whole swap was done last weekend and looking fabulous.
Now to add onto that I was going to ship out my trim pieces to get them dipped to blackwood, but we figured out a better idea, so I had them custom painted House of Kolor Black Pearl instead to go with the new interior.
Even the ashtray was done!
Installed:
Sorry that the update was so short and that I don't have better photos but those are in the works! More updates to come in the next month, so stay tuned. I haven't drifted away just taking things slow and doing it right. There's no rush.
