Washed, clay bar, washed, dried, waxed, spray detailed, tires, vacuum, engine bay, door jams, trunk and stared at it for a while cuz it's so purdy...

 

Bought my second (Lexus door puddle lights) and third (carbon license plate holder) mods. First mod was OEM all weather mats; I really only wanted drivers side. Starting slow....

 

new shoes, rear fender extwnsions, front fender inserts.
Soon a new diffuser and some low.

 

Installed a set of Ferrada FR3 20in wheels.

 

Exercise. Went on a 3 hour drive through some beautiful roads. I hear folks bagging on California all the time and that's cool. Not for everyone. But for me, within 5min of my backyard I'm in the Santa Cruz mountains with access to hundreds of miles of incredibly maintained twisty roads. It's just incredible. Year round I can jump on a moto or hop in a car and just have fun getting lost. If I keep heading West I'm eventually dumped onto historic California Highway 1 and have choices to take that scenic route North or South along the coast of CA. This year round access and never getting tired of any road in my backyard is one of the reasons I'll never leave mang. So yeah, California sucks. Don't come here

Twisty's next 20 miles make a turn and another pops up for even more miles


Taking a breather after almost 2 hours of twisty roads.


About to hit it again


Even our pictures suck, so another reason to stay away (and leave the roads for me).

 

aFe air filter change. Used and new, both oiled.

 

^^^ Koni
Was running k&n, oiled properly & not super dirty neither.
Got high silica content in my oil analysis and was recommended to go back to paper filters.
Since swapping back to Wix, the oil tests have been good last two times.
Fwiw

 

cf license plate frame and Lexus puddle door lights.

 

Thanks Ming! Something to ponder. I have contemplated getting an oil analysis too.

 

 

Drove it to work, will drive back home this afternoon like I do every Monday to Friday.

 

Got my first oil change in the 10th Anniversary (4,100 miles). It was free...which is a good thing.

Gave me a 2019 ES350 as a loaner...told them next time as an enthusiast they need to let me take the LFA on their showroom floor...LMAO

 

Wonder how many times they've changed the battery in the past 8 years, lolol. Doesn't look like a tender is connected.

V.

 

Ha! Ha!...that is their website picture but the tender is hooked up all the time.

I was actually there one day when they had a serious buyer and they fired it up...SWEET! Not the first one I have heard but always LOVE that sound.

 

Looks great! Would you happen to have a rear shot of car? I'd like to see how the rear bumper extensions look from the rear end.
