Thanks all, for the kind words. Helps make up for the evil eye I got from my wife when I told her how much I spent.
As for next mods, I have a set of headers coming soon and an SAFCII that's been sitting in my garage for 2 years.

Henry, thanks for being a great sport. I had complete confidence buying from someone as retentive as you!

Thanks to lex400sc I have a new favorite pic of the car with the new wheels.

The rest of us understand. I remember saying I would never lower the car. Guess what. Ohh, also said I would never buy a wheel that cost too much. Did that too. CL will make you pay...but it's so much fun!

Chris,
I got the feeling that any HRE wheels look good on your car. It must be the color.

I couldn't believe my 20 x 11" rims cleared your BIG rear brakes either !

Now I'm getting ideas.


And your favorite Pic? That's me , you and TAMR_GUS98 in the background commenting on how great the car looks now that you went from tiny 18"'s to the DUB Club. The tires fill the wheel well so much better, especially because your kit design wraps around the tire.

I have seen you resist on the body kit for so long, that was until I slipped you a TOM's catalog. I take personal responsibility for influencing you, and I am glad you did it.

As far as the HRE's , well we talked and talked about refinishing the rims, do this or do that, but the second we tried them on for size and saw them, it was loke . . . DON"T even think about it, just leave them as is.

I think I can finally say you have the complete exterior package and I'm glad you made it just in time to debut at EOS. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=181193

As far as the NEXT mod you won't ever do ? ? ?

Well now that you bought a "TACO" your car is now a Garage Queen, so I am telling ya now, there is an FI set up in your future !



Muahhhhhhh hah ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !

The peer pressure is just too much around here. Is FI the next big thing? Only if I can find a smog legal method - or a way of getting around having to be smog legal. But I know that I'll never, ever, ever upgrade the stereo or interior.
