Thanks guys, I started reading and progamming my garage door opener and cell phone, very awsome features. I have been doing a lot of seaching, I am interested in upgrading all the lights to Leds and I have used DDM Tuning for HID's for yrs. Any thoughts as to after market HID kits, I saw V-led has alot of options I want to change the DRL to HID or Led which ever works without issues. Thanks again and I really enjoy Lexus and Toyota, here are some Pics of my Toy

Now, that's what you call a real truck. I can't even begin to imagine how much trouble i'd get myself into on the street with all of that power.
How much power to the wheels?

I haven't dyno'ed with the blower installed just base lines. The others on XR-UNDERGROUND(Toyota Forum) had the same setup and are seeing about 400 to the wheels. With my current upgrades thanks to TRD and URD I just ask my self "Is it fast" its crazy under hard acceleration the wheels will break traction even at 60 -plus. With that said I drive carefully especially here in FL

We picked it up for 33,400 there is a rebate from lexus for active duty for $750 so that helped a little. Miles were 33,700, we are very happy with the condition although I wanted Nav. the one with that was in not so good condition it looked as if the front bumper was coming apart. Any body else here have the Starfire Pearl? I noticed the bumper on all the ones at the dealer(At least the white) seemed to be a little off color. Still a good color no complaints like my Mazda CX-7, that thing was a nightmare!

Congrads on your Lexus.

I haven't noticed the discolorations on a few of the starfire pearls I looked at used, maybe I didn't pay close enough attention.

I did hear about some bumper issues with the 2012, I can't rememeber exactly what they were.

With that said, don't worry about it. Sit back and enjoy.

We noticed that too when we were looking at the starfire pearl. So we ended up getting black.
