This is the last one if anyone can help me with a heated seat conversion, coach front floor mats and the coach branded head rests then im done with oem type mods. After that i might switch out my tails for clear LEDs and look into importing harrier glass to eliminate having reflective.

Nice ride man! Look so clean w/o the front license plate. Love your IS too. What kind of product do you use to refinish the leather?

I actually have a guy that comes out and does it once a year for about 100 bucks. To keep it looking decent inbetween I use random leather treatment/cleaners...basically whatever is on sale at the auto parts. One thing ive learned is dont get wipes they suck. Get a spray and microfiber cloth and do it every 2-3 weeks or whenever you clean your ride out.

Robert the ride looks great! The 300 really looks so much better with the body color cladding and bumpers. Too bad the 255/55/18s rub a bit so I am going with 245s.

BTW my coach ed does not have heated seats, I wish they had em but must have something to do with the leather. Or mine just didn't get that option.

I also wanted to remove the front plate number but will have to wait until I have an excuse to paint the front bumper.

Good luck on your future projects!

Great retouched! i also have one exactly same as yours except it is black color...

BTW how about the rear camera?? I don't see you mentioned in here.

I also plan to add rear camera which is integrated into the current GPS NAV screen.. I think it is possible..

Can anyone lead the way?

Cheers!

My Coach has the heated/perforated seats... so they are out there. They have hi/lo heat also.

And OP, what kind of tint did you use up front to match the reflective glass in the back? Thx in advance.

Here are some pictures of my 2002 Coach edition.

It is an outdoor Massachusetts car. I just got it detailed 5 days ago. It hasn't stopped raining since I got it detailed until last night.

Here are some pictures of it -- overall, except for some imperfections in touch-up work that I've done, and have yet to do, I think for an 8-year old North East outdoor (non-garaged) car, it is in pretty good shape
