Hey guys, my name is chino and i live in the bay area.
I got my UCF21 through my uncle since he is moving back to stamford, CT. The car is very reliable and i enjoy the ride quality. So far i noticed one problem and i believe its the FCAB is worn out. It has this weird clunking sound whenever i hit the brakes. I plan to fix this problem soon and perform all maintenance that are required before i proceed with my VIP build. I am currently looking for an exhaust set up and based on what i have researched through this forum that a magnaflow product will best suit this 1UZ engine. Please feel free to chime in on what kind of exhaust set up you guys have along with the part #'s for more accurate information. Highly appreciated and peace!![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Thanks RA40!
Thanks Yoshi! I actually got the wheels for $200, in mint condition. The oem 16's makes the car look old in my opinion.
Thank you King! Actually it gets really foggy here in the place i live in. I took the pictures around lunch time lol
Yes, black leather interior! I rate it as 8/10 with its current condition. What do you have in mind in this build?

^ what do you mean?
I'm saying if it we're mine I'd have a hard time doing much to it since it looks so good in stock form.
I would however tint the windows, get some updated LS430 17" wheels, maybe lower it the 1" or so on some Eibachs/H&r's, and update the HID bulbs to new Philips units to restore the output. And you can't go wrong with a little sound system.
Some cars just look 'best' in OEM+ looks.
