To be really limited, they could have added an I/C turbo, sub-tank, fridge. I saw a modded 100 in Japan (in LC mag) that replaced the 3rd row seats with higher (off the floor) seats, then removes the 2nd row, raises the floor (so it's flat to the front seats), kind of limo style. Toyota could have done something like this but w/ a LS460L interior w/ ottomans, etc.

I wanted dark tint all around, some better stock rims,painted lower molding to match the car's exterior paint, and some Maybach 2nd row seats that replaces the 2nd&3rd row seats w/ 2 lcd 8" headrest monitors (front seats),a turbocharged engine w/at least 500hp,0-60 in no more than 6sec,twin exhuasts,and HIDs!!

Jim, do you know if anyone stateside has put in the OE console fridge? I'm guessing you'd have to move the disc changer to glovebox.

I wouldnt, give me the part numbers now damnit! LOL. i honestly dont like those folding arm rests anyways. I would rather just one big console. Where would my hidden cutoff switch for my strobes go then? hummm.

Now, if we could arrange something like getting a few of the fridges imported, that would be amazing. I know i would be first to sign up on the list if they arent millions of dollars.


Hey, the CD Changer is still in the center console even if you put the refridgerator box in.
Large rear console box: ample storage space is assured, even with the auto CD changer, cooler box and cup holders installed in the rear console box.

Huh. I'd have to see that. I had to work around my disc changer when I installed a DVD player to drive the headrest monitors, and there is just not much room in there.

Console fridge won't fit in US center consoles. Overseas front buckets don't have the arm rests (guess people aren't as fat? ), so the console is that much wider to house the fridge. IIRC, it's about a $600 option. The only other alternative is to get an ARB fridge ($1K?), set up a dual deep cycle battery (need a custom battery tray to run dual Odyssey PC1200's; they will fit in the stock location), and run the fridge off that.

You'd still have to replace the entire center console unit, and that's one big piece.
