thanks D for the comments and yes i wax it so much that masking tape wont stick to it, as far as the back bumper bro , alwilliams and i are torn between the jdm rear add on for the apron or Lsportline , the Lsportline bumper is functional with the slit in the middle with the mesh for at high speeds it prevents reverberation of air getting trapped up in the bumper cover creating drag like a parachute , that opening lets the air escape..as far as the now getting into it , her mindset changed abit for the positive when she came to the show we did last weekend and saw exactly what we do and how we all get together on a positive note instead of running the streets chasing women, alwiiliams wife and adrians wife were there and got into it nicely


thanks bit , blue johnee78 lexis11 thanks again for your comments




lexis11, this hks sounds mean , low , and deep , when you step into it ,it screams with authority and tells everyone within earshot you mean business, crusing around on the hwy or locally you barely know its there , drone almost does not occur , just a small acceptable amount around 1500-1900 rpm. i have driven with all windows sunroof closed and no radio and its sounds great , power wise i really do feel a good amount of diff in the way the car accelerates , off the line i am now able to spin the tires with ease (dry pavement) throttle response is quicker buti do have a modified airbox ramming cooler denser air into it with a toms high flow filter

She sounds JUST like my g/f man!! She is always asking me if there are any girls on club lexus, and who comes to these meets!! One time I just broght the little girl with me to be safe!! Must be a island ting!! LOL (my g/f is Jamaican, I'm a Yankee bwoy)

I think the JDM rear will look better on your car because of the black color, it will mask the line, Al would be better off with Lsport or RMM ( SOMEBODY has to pair up the Ltuned sides with a RMM rear dammit).

I think for you, cost should be the determining factor, if that JDM lip is 5-600 bucks then just get a full rear bumper, but if its cost effective you should go for it man.

Sweet. Congrats Ed.

Many of us are going to have similar looking cars if the TTE/L-tuned people get L-Sportline rears. I think we can thank DaveGS4 for the TTE/L-Tuned and GSTRANCE for the TTE/L-Tuned/L-Sportline combo. Also, D, I think someone did do the TTE/L-Tuned/RMM combo and posted a pic. I think it was white. I just can't remember the user right now. I'll edit if I remember.

There was one other member a while ago with a silver GS that did the same combo as me except he had the L-sport front as well. Kajukenbo is who you are thinking of with the TTE/L-tuned/RMM rear.That looks great as well.

Lex, your car is looking great man!

kajukenbo replaced his rear bumper with a RMM I would like to see that!

Also, Brice, someone has L-Sport front Ltuned side and RMM rear?

Any pics of either car?

I think he meant L-Sportline/L-Tuned/L-Sportline.
