mine was the 2002 black rx300, with stock chrome rims. i was parked along the railing in a huge puddle. i couldnt even open the hatch really. but i know two or three people caught a peek of my triple audiobahn 12'' subs with chrome grills.
i havnt really done any extreme mods to my truck, although i think ive done some pretty crazy stuff considering it;s LEASED.
mods already done:
1)custom home made air intake with ram air tube running through front bumper
2) 4 neon tubes under dash and rear seats
3) underbody neon kit, (all blue neons) and all neons beat to the music
4) custom made plexi console plate with 5 switches (for neons strobes etc)
5) 6 mini strobes behind lexus symbol in grill
6) triple 12'' audiobahn black leather sub box, and chrome amp, 4 gauge wire etc
7) 5.6'' tv custom mounted in overhead dome light, dvd ps1 etc
8) two 5.6'' tv's in headrest, curtosy of sypher
9) and some other random things

future mods comming real soon:
01) already made just waiting to put it into my truck.... custom made 3/4' mdf box covered in black leather to mount over sub box. it will house the amp, dvd, PS1, distribution blocks etc. and each piece of equip will light up with blue neons.
1) AV switcher for all tvs;
2) two 5'' sunvisor tvs
3) maybe a rear view monitor in the rear view mirror.
4) relocate overhead tv to the center console
5) two more 5'' mobile tv tv's from my friend. (he;s giving them to me for nothing praticaly) so need some ideas where i can put them
6) then eventually 255/65/16 pirelli scorpion tires
7) full proffesional strobes like kando's GS at the meet. (you inspired me to get them)

so hopefull i can have a total of 8 tvs' which will be insane, maybe too much.

so not bad for a leased lex. wish i had the gs though. and bought. then ud see some insane stuff id want to do.

Nice meeting all the members.Lets make sure that the weather is nice and get an even bigger turn out. VSSC400 organize one more.
Surely will.

I will contact the FBF office for a indoor space if possible.

This was my fault for not leaving you guys with my number. It will not happen again. I will be more thorough next time.

Anyway, it would have been nice if somebody had made a trip back to FBF every half and hour to look for people who showed up there, especially considering how many flyers were handed out by people. I think we should go with EWilson's suggestion to use one of the airplane hangers the next time there is a weather problem. And we should have all had the phone numbers of key people to call in case of a problem. Another way this could have been prevented would have been to call someone to post up on this thread that you moved to Kings Plaza parking lot. We called people to go online for us and look at the thread for information but there was nothing there. I guess we can keep these things in mind for future meets.

so sorry for all the troubles. Parking garage had some work being done and was very congested and was hell just getting out of the garage even around 5pm when I left. We will try to make the meet more orgnized. I appologize in behalf and we WILL make it better... this was our only second meet.

VSsc400, thanks for all the work you put into this event. EWilson mentioned that the people that have BMW meets at FBF sometimes use the airplane hangers when the weather is bad but I'm not sure if they notify FBF ahead of time. Maybe he could post some additional info.

I know that Lexus of Manhattan indicated that they'd like to sponsor another one on a Sunday and if we want to do before it gets too cold then we need to start thinking about some dates. Sunday October 27th and Sunday November 10th, 17th, 24th are possibilities. November 3rd is not an option because many roads will be closed for the New York City Marathon so we shouldn't consider that day. Obviously the longer we wait, the colder it will get. Monday, November 11th is Veterans day which some people like myself might have off. I'm not sure if that makes November 10th a more or less attractive date. The 24th is the Sunday before Thanksgiving so I'm not sure how good that date is either. I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

sunday nov 10th seems like a good idea. heres why: most people might have off on monday,
it gives us a few weeks to organize another one,
but not too much time bc then it gets colder.
and the other dates are either one,,,, way way too close. (oct27th) or too close to thanksgiving.

anyway i vote for nov 10th or maybe maybe possibly the 17th as my second choice.
