lol yes just headers. The power is VERY noticable right off the bat. I couldn't really open her up on the way home because traffic was pretty heavy coming home from Orlando. I dropped my car off Friday morning to get some service stuff done and then the tech installed the headers after work. So it really only took him a few hours. Got the car back yesterday morning. Install was 650. Had no problem paying that cause it was a Lexus tech.

you do need this lol. I went down to Jacksonville to install but I believe there are a few shops in Atlanta that should be able to do the install. Fair warning. Order now cause I believe there is still a wait in headers from PPE.

Thanks! If that's the case I'll probably have it installed at RR racing. It's about 6 hrs from VA. I was hoping to get installed in GA since I'm gonna be there all of July.

Got tired of looking at this every day



Grossed me out how bad it looked, so I peeled off the black-out tape and cut off the part of the window trim that was peeling up. Here is the after..



It's not perfect, but it looks A LOT better!

Wrapped my roof today with vvivid gloss black. It came out ok. Think it would have gone smoother with another person the entire time. Car was gross under the rain rail and antenna.

I originally used the tape that a lot of is on here used, can't remember the name, but its used to delete the chrome on a mini. I used plain matte black sheet vinyl and cut it into strips the second go around since most of my trim was coming up.

so this happened the other day. Been having condensation build up in the passenger headlight. That evening, I took the headlight out to discover a hole in the housing. Didn't feel like dropping a grand for one new light assembly. So I picked up the vlands.

It's hard to tell right now. It seems brighter, but at the same time, these things need to be adjusted because they are aimed waaaay low. I found that, right now, the light cutoff is a bit distracting. I can see every time my car hits the slightest bump. Lol. I'm sure it'll become less noticable when I aim them correctly.
