Just incase it was missed in all those pages...

Two tone interior is custom made, top of the line leather was especially ordered.

Sandstone with a mix of beige, is the main color, with brownish red insert color to match the woodgrain dash.

Along with a leather steering wheel cover to match the two tone interior.

Piping will also be done, the same color as the inserts, along with the door panels.

Of course, its a double diamond stitched interior.

Right now its still in production, I think it will be completed in 4-5 weeks hopefully. Will post pics of them as soon as I get 'em.

Yea, parents helped me more than a fair bit.

Spoiler is UGO, I got mine from Pete (PHML), he ordered it from Japan new. That was over a year ago. Its pretty hard to find authentic UGO spoilers.

As for the headlights, the output is not as good as the LS 430 projectors, but they are better than the stock GS IMO. The reason why I went for the
Q45 projectors is because of looks.

Turning 21 in ...9 days .... been 1 year since the last build.

Pics will start coming from 28th of May.


Now Nathaniel ie Mr. Jokster will be working on my interior and will install
my dual battery setup, HO alternator, grounding kit and a few miscellaneous items.

And have gotten 4 hrs booked with the guy that works on the Prime Minister's limo.
Prime Minister in Canada is equal to President in USA.
Just to make sure everything goes right.

Now for the leather seats, finally completed by leatherseats. And they are not cheap for the additional upgrades I wanted.

Top of the line leather special order (took about 1 month just to arrive at their facility) double diamond stitching. Matching piping, and thread.

Also got matching wheel cover specially made to match the two tone leather seats. Along with the door panels, they are also double diamond stitched.

So on to the Pics: Again just a teaser.

Yea the color is a little off due to the light IMO, its actually more brown

to match the wood grain.

I guess in the first pic it looks a little orange due to the lighting.

Haha. Nice!
I knew why you chose that color to match your wood trim.
I'm waiting for the FINALE!
