Default New Tint on the ZX-2 and pix of audio install!

And also an Alpine Speaker install. Type S's

Before Tint:






Dont mind the goofball in the pic, he is a knucklehead.


^Dont mind the bungees on the sub box, they are temporary.




The audio is in the sig. Questions? Comments? Suggestions? the car is coming right along, im almost done.

Damn homie thats real foul. Didnt need to say that at all. This is ClubLexus, we actually have intelligent posts. You can take that elsewhere.

Anyway dude, your car looks fine. I like the tint. What percentage?? What headunit are you using?? I didnt see that in the sig.

Not much trunk room with that big box, but it must sound pretty cool.

Its unforunate you dont have the Lex anymore, but its a cool replacement.

Hey magneto, thanks for your comments, the HU is a Kenwood KDC-1028. pretty much their lowest model, but I had to get rid of stock so it will do for now.

The tint is 20% on the doors and 5% on the rest, excpet for the sunroof which is 35% over factory (20%) Its Llumar High Performance Film. best you can get.

thats freeway mileage obviously. its significantly worse in town. if i drive well, i c an keep it around 220 on 10.5 gallons. thats also running it empty. i ran out of gas coming off the tollway so i coasted into the service center. when i stopped the odo read 309.7 miles.

More pix of the ZX-2, alot of them didnt turn out, but i want to show em anyways. you get the idea of what i was trying to do. on the overhead shots, there is a lightpole next to the car, my camera just sucks at picking up light.



^nasty gouge in the bumper? no, cobweb from parking half the night.


^see what i mean about the light? plus its blurry cause i took it as i slipped on a rock and darn near fell on my behind.


^New headlights with flash.


^New headlights without flash.

Default New pix from Alexandria Bay on Lake Ontario!

The town of Alexandria Bay, or A-Bay, as its so affectionately called is a tiny little town, full of resorts. there are 3 stoplights, a harbor and a few bars. all and all its really quaint, and a great place to take a few pix. God i wish i had a better camera, these would have turned out fantastic! So, without further ado, welcome to Alexandria Bay!
