After 2 long years, my Project is just about done. I been through about 8 different sets of wheels. Trying to find the right ones. But still not happy with it.
Paint job was just finished this tuesday. I never owned a black car and man its a pita trying to keep it clean. But I am extremely happy with the outcome.
The paint itself cost a grip. Its the 212 Obsidian Black that came off the new 2009 LS 600H.
Just a recap of the exterior mods:
Sold the copy cat Vertex kit and picked up a Full Authentic Vertex Kit. Front bumper, side skirts, front fenders, rear bumpers, and canards. And a +50mm rear overfenders molded and line matched with the original body.
The single turbo upgrade is complete. Only problem I have now is that the car idles at 1800 rpms. Still trying to work that issue out, but im stumped. I have done too much work and the engine. I dont know where to start.
