Today, I received some new toys for my car. Can you guess what they are?

Can you guess now?
Thanks to jroring on here I got a set of USDM 2JZGTE cams machined to fit the 2JZGE VVT-i. In terms of performance.
USDM GTE cams specs:
Intake: 233 deg
Lift: 8.25mm
Exhaust: 233 deg
Lift 8.4mm
Exhaust apparently has 1.17mm more left than GE vvti cams.
Stock GTE cams are good for around 650-700rwhp!
Here is a website with the specification

Unwrapping
So nice! I can't wait to get these on the car.
My priorities are on the air ride set right now. But as soon as those are done I will be focused on putting on these bad boys!

Time to update again. I know I am jumping all over the place with the mods. Air ride, cams, now this little thing!
I was able to pick up this carbon fiber overlay gauge cluster/bezel piece a while back from lexusscturbo on here for a steal.
Made payment and it was on my doorstep in a few days!
Opening it up
Close up
The old bezel had to go. I didn't realize that this bezel was for the 98-00 GS not the 01+ since it didn't have clearance for the rings on the 01+ bezel I had to go an alternate route to make this piece work.
Good bye bezel
The donor car! Veritek gave me one of his old bezels from his 98 GS300 Turbo to test fit. It worked like a charm and he had a spare that he got when he purchased DaveGS4's Supercharged GS4 so now I have that part on my car! Thanks to Bing and Dave for the part! I plan on making use of the custom LEDs that were installed on the cluster too!
Swapping out clusters
Mine!
Prepping and taping starts. Took off the ODO, Reset switch so the paint could adhere better.
