Default Some new toys arrived today

Got my exhaust in a few days ago, and my JDM steering wheel came in today (JDM Toyota airbag for sale btw, in the classifieds) . My Junction Produce table got delayed though, I just hope it comes in time for the VSC SoCal meet October 11th

Pardon the crappy cellphone pics...

JDM RSR Invidia

And my JDM woodgrain steering wheel from UpGarage Japan. It came with the Toyota air bag but I swapped my Lexus one onto it, since I want to keep all my Lexus badging. The Toyota airbag is for sale in the classifieds section!







Now all I need is my JP table, then all my September spending spree toys will have finally arrived Not pictured is my JDM bumper pole... for some reason I forgot to take pics of it lol. I'll install it soon, after I figure out the relay wiring...

Thanks! I bought them off of someone in Japan used, $350 shipped. Might be hard finding them though, I never knew these even existed until i stumbled across them. Didnt come with the midpipe, so I had to get a muffler shop to weld them on, no big deal.

Yea i got them from Grants part-out thread. Thankyou Grant BTW for getting these shipped to me Super fast! Yea, at first I was kinda of skeptical about them in Grants pics but I wanted to give them a shot since I've never seen them on an LS400 before, then when I got them I thought "holy **** these tips are bigger than I thought..." But after they got mounted up and welded I liked them a lot more.

Really? They mounted up perfect, i just needed them to be welded to the midpipe since the stock flanges are wayy smaller.

Thanks guys!

The steering wheel IS off a UCF10 Celsior. I got it from UpGarage Japan. After the shipping fee's and everything it came out to about $350. I believe there is one on Yahoo Japan Auctions right now for WAYY cheaper since it doesnt have the Airbag with it

The wheels are AME Shallen LX's
