A couple more pics on my way to completing the spring makeover

Rear deck replaced to remove unsightly (to me) third brakelight







Yeah, I know it looks 'stock' but to me its a HUGE improvement to an eyesore I've lived with since I got the OEM spoiler put on at the Lexus dealer in 1999.

The bra worked really well on my seven hour road trip to Maryland and back.

Did a great job protecting the lip and front of the car! Now it shines up even better than before

Man Dave, I love the way you made the "mistake" of sneaking the I/C pic in there! looks nice, no wonder you wanted to protect your front end on the highway!!

The gleam and shine in this pic is absolutely incredible Dave! I wish I could get my car to shine like that and then be able to take pics like that. Absolutely beautiful!!!
