I think it will stay clean for the holidays and then the next round of mods starts.
Sorry Guys, no updates for a while. The bodykit came in yesterday from the paint shop way behind schedule and with numerous issues that are tying us up.

Yes Neo, our intention is to clear out the house of parts for the holidays, so there is little time to post updates, but I will try if possible.

We are feverishly trying to put EVERYTHING back together and have photos up by MONDAY !

Henry, don't strain your eyes too much, but the "secret" mod is in this picture, but like Redgs4 said, you wouldn't know it . . .

Ok I can't take it anymore! I am just going to tell you all what the secret mod is:

The Sofa

Yes - seriously. She told me that the sofa actually weighed much less than the Lexus IS back seat so she is going to swap them. She also mentioned that she is going to have it re-done in carbon fiber leather which will surely be lighter and help the IS get to GS400 speeds.

I think it is a great mod and can't wait to sit in the back seat!

Car is looking good, are you doing the mods yourself or getting it done from someone else? Labor is quite a lot then right? Let me know when you get a turbo in that IS 300 Goodjob none the less on the car!

i would say her husband did about 85% of the work on the car, maybe more. basically after all my experience (sigh...), afterall, the only person you can trust if yourself

well but then she said she wants to put the massager in the sofa though, so it's going to add some more weight
