Awesome car and parts.

is the front splitter = Icode/LX-Mode CF lip

Looks the best one I've found so far.

great work on the molding looks sweet and OEM.

One question I had, where did you buy the LX mode Fog lights? because I've had an order placed for these since the beginning of February and still have not received them until today

Wes the car looks great. I love the new additions to it and can't wait to see it in person. I really like what you had done with the rear diffuser.

I'll typically not a big fan of kits and the like, but your car looks great. Nice and classy, not ricey.

I've seen his ride in person. It definitely oozes class and sophistication and has the perfect sound to match! Nice job Wes.

Those Novel headers would be the perfect finishing touch!

Very nice mods! I have a long ways to go.

Where did you get the CF interior parts?

Thanks.

Thanks for all of the positive remarks. I feel validated! Yes, my wife will attest to the illness and the money spent although it is wonderful that she is supportive of my addiction. Some may say she is an enabler!

Center tray came from Carson (Luis). It is the ThinkDesign part. Took about a month of talking back and forth with Luis about all of the parts I wanted from LEMS and him getting it arranged with pricing and then took about another 3 months for the parts to come in. I ordered the rear tray, center console lid pull, front lip, fog bezels and Icode silicone intake all at the same time. Center tray was $875. The one thing to note is that it is a full replacement, not a stick on or core exchange. They start with the factory part.

Also, as an alternative, in case you are interested there is a vendor on 6speedonline that is doing the silver CF rear seat divide. the pics look pretty good. Pricing is a little less than ThinkDesign. $750 full replacement, $550 you send them yours to do. Here is a link to their thread and their site. Not sure what turnaround time is.

As noted above the fog bezels came from Carson with a 3 month wait time. I looked on my invioce and it indicated that they are actually ThinkDesign instead of LX Mode. Although that is what the invoice said I am still not 100% convinced.

Thanks Jason! Had it at CLT C&C a couple of weeks ago. I looked for you but not sure if you were there (in either car). Anyway, I am just trying to keep up with you.

David, it would be even better if you could get me hooked up with those Novel headers the way I want them. Yen is at 102 and rising. When we started corresponding it was down in the high 70s, low 80s! That's almost a 30% discount right there! Let's get this done.

Coming from you and what you've done I will take that as a compliment. :P You're recent hood work has me inspired. Still want the TRD one though.

Thanks Todd. You are right about the Novel headers. See my prodding to David above. Glad your revised setup is working out. Did the added resonators also help with the fuel smell at all?

With a compliment from Lance I should just quit while I'm ahead! Lance, thanks for your consultation on the alignment specs. For this car and the Supra. Hope those rotors are working out for ya.
