No plans other than usual maintenance since my sister took it to her school so she could drive it to do her internship. All focus is now on my Camry since she is my daily now

My plans for this spring/summer are:
-New chrome rims 18s or 19s if I can find some for a decent price
-Possibily mono paint job
-Search and replace my tail lights for 00-01, clear lights all the way round.
-HID Fog lights
-Might put my kenwood double din in her instead of the single din jvc.
-Tune my sub set up and get rid of the noise in the system audible at low levels.

'01 Lexus is getting it's
- headlights buffed up.
- maybe a new backup camera.

'03 Lexus
- Still need to fix those burnt out climate control bulbs

Cadillac is getting
- new struts, sway bars, basically the whole suspension redone.
- needs a new wiper transmission/motor/or bracket, not sure yet. Wind knocked it off the windshield and it no longer works.

And they aren't fakes like the ones from china, I bought an OEM used set. Talk about a score considering they are stupid expensive.
Hey is there a specific size or something to look for when buying emblems?

Yes, they are specific sizes and 'curves' [like the front hood emblem] for these
and other Lexus'. I got lucky and found a full oem set from an ES300.

The 'new ebay' ones are junk. They are priced at 20$ for a full set since they are fakes. They are replicas made by little shops in china and don't fit right, and are probably 3M only.

OEM has the clips for the badging. And i'll sell him mine for cheaper than piecing the OEM set on ebay would cost

Cool

1. LED trunk lid, front doors, front cabin light (leaving the back [middle] stock for dimmer lighting. DONE

2. 18 OEM lexus wheels (because everyone has the OEM IS 17s [looks damn good still!) DONE. No tires though...

3. 2 words. Air-Runner . Because I wanna slam it and still have enough class to not scrape the b****

4. Recieved a 1987 Nissan 200sx vg30det as gift. Problem: not driven since 98. gas tank ruptured. Fuel cell conversion in progress. Need mounting brackets and to connect lines. Somebody pray for me because this in need of a miracle!

5. Then after im done pouring money into that i will buy a whiteline sway for the rear. after all i am a suspension guy!
