it's a very in depth process to relocate everything. lots of cutting.......i'll post more pis of it later. i believe there were 35 wires that were cut and spliced.

just another sample piece, vacuum formed abs plastic, ready to trim and tweak till we get it right. i found some wood grain abs plastic online that matches the lexus wood pretty well. will be using that once we get the template/jig just right. (the abs wood is expensive)

sure.....i can send you one if you want to pay for shipping and a sheet of plastic. matter of fact we are making a unit that will fit on the roof to accomadate two lcd tv's (between 5-7" screens)will fit right behind the sunroof and be perfect viewing for rear passengers. it will also still allow the overhead light to work =). more goodness on the way.

Default u GOT IT MAN

Thanx for the offer, i will definitely pay for shipping and plastic and labor if you want. But the way I want my dash is somewhat different then yours since I don't have a big LCD monitor in front and i am not planning to move the whole console.

Is it possible for you to make something similar to the orginial console but right under our orginial LCD mon, there is that slot for a CD player and then what follows i the whole panel (the buttons) move just down a space for the CD player, do you have an idea what I am talking about bro? Can you make something like that for me?

Something really similar to what u r making, however, the size of the LCD mon is the orginial size cuz I am only using the stock LCD screen, right below should be the CD player, exactly below the CD player would be the buttons, then the shifter part, I don't need that many spaces in between, a tight setup is okay too but I just want something custom instead of me cutting out the plastic. Can u help me out man?

Default Tailgate cover

Hello Shonuff.

I own a black 2001 RX-300 with spoiler, factory chrome wheels and chrome manix step bars. I love your wheels and everything that you have done with your vehicle. I am interested in the chrome tailgate cover. Where did you purchase this?
