Tommy is a car god! I've watched him working on many cars and it blows me away at how good he is. He also installed my subs a while back and did a great job! I always go to Tommy before anyone else

Tommy of all trades!

Thanks Tommy!
Nice stance, Ken Did you change your wheels too? How's the ride of the Megan compared to the Tanabe's? Will be going to Tommy's soon for the Ipod integrarion. Who knows, I might bump into you again

Hey Rafael,

Thanks! Yes I did change rims was getting board with the others. I am liking the coilovers just need to find the right settings that work for me. Maybe I will see you this week. I am going to see tommy this week for subwoofer and speaker install.

Take care! Any mods done to your LS since I last saw you at Tommy's.

Ken

Nice wheels, Ken. I'm still debating on whether to do a fat set-up or just sell the Lexion's and get me some 20's. Almost did a trade for 20" Lowenharts from
another member last week, but the front wheels didn't clear the brakes. +25 offset.

Already replaced the 8" sub and added an amp (JL8W1v2.5 and JL1400)

Are you going to the Pursuit this weekend?

Hey Rafael....Thanks they are starting to grow on me I wasn''t sure if I liked them when I first put them on.

Unfortunately I already have plans for this weekend so more than likely I won't be going but, if things change I might.

Hope you find the right set up for the LS and looking forwarding to see pictures.

Have a great rest of the week!

Hey Rafael,

Did you just add a new amp or replace the OEM amp. One of my speakers in the rear doesnt work and Tommy said I may need to replace the OEM amp with another OEM. I called Tustin Lexus and they wanted $600+ with exchange and $2000 without an exhange.......what rip off.

Any recommendations?

Hey Ken,

I added a "mono" amp to
power the after-market sub, Not sure if you're also able to use the sub wire as a source to run a 4 channel amp to drive both sub and rear speakers........definitely a lot cheaper than what the stealership is quoting you

Do you know someone who might be interested in my wheels?


you could

Yeah Tommy's never on CL. In fact, I think 99% of his business is probably just word of mouth!
