I keep thinking of things, I should have made notes while I was doing this post!

I looked at the spark plugs as it has done 72,000 miles and noticed it has Torque Master plugs. They aren't in bad condition, as you can see below, but I went ahead and ordered original Denso plugs as I don't know much about TM plugs.

Thanks for all the comments, I am very happy and proud to be able to share with everyone! I love reading all the threads on here and seeing what folks are doing with their cars. It has given me a lot of inspiration and my next project is to paint my calipers. I just ordered the G2 Caliper paint kit in red and have ordered black Lexus caliper decals too. I look forward to posting the finished product.

Had a little spare time so decided to paint the engine cover to match my calipers (when I get round to doing them!)





It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it looks pretty sharp

Damn that red engine cover stands out way too much!

F blue woulda been something more bearable

To be honest, it looks a lot brighter in the photo, it's more of a darker red in reality. I appreciate the feedback, I don't know how USB would look with red calipers but I may look into it in the future.

Good job. Maybe if you pain the "V" or the honeycomb area black it won't stand out so much and will blend in more.

Welcome to the Club! Looks like you got a touch of the mod-fever! Unfortunately, there's no cure for it!
