Sweet! Your "F" is AWESOME!

Not to mention your carbon fiber hood in May/June

My Artisan CF roof spoiler and CF complete front grill should be arriving next week, then the Varis hood in late May...then I will be done I think

Then time to focus on the LC500 "F" next year

Your "F" is awesome too! I'm jealous that you are so close to the motherland and always get everything so fast!

Lol yes I can't wait! As long as new parts keep coming, we are never done...lol. Once the car is tunable, I think I'll be going the supercharger route.

As for the LC "F", I may be going that route too, when and if, that's the question.

Yeah, I was unsure those wheels would look right on a car when I saw the design on the Vossen website but think they look great on his car. Very different than the norm

Sounds good. Good video to hear the sound difference. Any particular reason you went res-delete instead of muffler delete?

Thanks.

A few reasons why I did the res-delete over the muffler delete.

1. I really like the look of the stock tips and wanted to avoid the re-welding of each pair to a Y pipe, and risk welding and mounting them crocked relative to each other.

2. The res-delete is a lower-cost, lower-risk alternative. If I didn't like it, $50 and the resonators get welded back. But so far, I'm liking the extra volume without being over the top and no noticeable drone.

3. Muffler delete is louder with a more muscle-car and raspy sound to it - not the sound I was looking for.
