Love those exhaust tips, where did you get them? Also, any drone with your exhaust set up?

 

The exhaust shop showed me these in chrome & said they could black ceramic coat them which is all the rage at the moment, so i ran with that. Happy with the results

No drone just a nice deep note.

 

Wher did you get the rcf tire fixing kit ?

 

I ordered it through my Lexus dealership. The pump & cement kit were in stock but the foam insert came from Japan. The pump & cement were reasonably priced I thought, however the foam ...... should've been gold plated lol

 

Such a nice build! love it.

 

Oh ok, any idea on the diameter of those tips?

 

where are you guys buying the TRD stuff that isnt 5 grand?? thanks in advance!

 

http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/aerodynamics I ordered mine yesterday!

 

Are they actually painted? i have an ultra white....will it need to be painted?? they say the color is white and black is this just plain matte black

 

I ordered unpainted since I have Nebula gray. However, if I had white or black car I would not order it painted. The reason is that they don't have color code in their description to see if the color would match my car, also the TRD items come directly from Japan and any scratch or damage to the paint during shipment you would need to paint it again. It is just not worth it all this, just find a good local paint shop, it would be better to deal a color code from someone local than from Japan

 

There is 3 color codes available from TRD Japan

(083) Ultra White
(212) Obsidian
(1J7) Atomic Silver

Other than the above 3 color, any other color will need to order it in the unpainted version.

Let me know anytime if you guys have any questions

Thank you

Nigel

 

Thanks man

I don't have the car here at the moment coz the high end audio install is getting done but i believe they are 4" tips. They're HUGE!!

 

That's some great audio gear. Do you have any pics of them going in? Any DSP? I'm looking at getting an IS soon and one first things I want to do is upgrade the audio system.

 

I have plenty of pics ............ The Focal Utopia mids & tweeters didn't fit in the dash location so I have now gone with a set of Dynaudio Esotar2 splits in the front instead. Still running the 3 Mosconi Amps, one for the tweeters, one for the mid bass & one for the sub which is also a Dynaudio Esotar2 E1200 in a custom box.

I will be running an Arc Audio PS8 processor to smooth it all out & time align to the drivers position.

The sub amp will be on the back of the box while the other two will be where the spacesaver tyre usually goes. The custom boot install is coming together at the moment but I will upload pics of where it's up to so far maybe later tonight.

 

Here is a summary of the audio install so far, more to come soon.
