Cool Ahhh new toys have arrived from overseas!

Sweetness! finally. Some stuff from Japan and Hongkong (thanks Alex!) have arrived.

As always, some preliminary pics for y'all to ponder, drool over....go on, touch your screen, you know you want to....

carbon-fiber AB Flug grill direct from Japan. The grill surround is in unfinished fiberglass (transparent) because it will have to be painted in body color:



close up:



black chrome headlight lens:



2003 speedo cluster:



I will install them ALL together as soon as the other stuff arrive here by sea. Hint: they are a lot bigger and heavier, so cannot be air-freighted....

Nice! Where in Japan did you order? I'm not too far from Japan at the moment and actually I may get to pop over in a few months.

I probably won't be installing them for a while...

The grill and the lights will have to wait till I get my HKS intercooler installed along with the oil and ATF cooler... (oops did I say that out loud?)

But sometime next week, my new exhaust (all the way from the turbo manifold down!) and my suspension parts should be on the way here or halfway installed, along with the new big brakes.....

Man, I can't wait!

Especially the Black Chrome Headlamps!!!
I think those would look exceptionally great on a dark color Lex!
