It has been a while since I last took a picture of my car, mainly because I have not modified my car in a while. So to rekindle interests in my beloved car again, I am going to try to start modding again

So needless to say, in anticipation for my next mod that is going to arrive here sometime soon, I finally borrowed a buddy's Porter Cable DA polisher and prepped the car to get rid of swirls and other blemishes. Here is a random shot of the results:

Thanks guys!

Yea just some lighting mods.

1997+ headlights for cleaner cut-off (installed)

LEDs for rear license plate frame. Its brighter than the 3rd gen Lexuses! (installed)

I'm waiting for the last item to arrive, the Xenon-Vision 6000k HID kit to finish it off.

I chose to not tint the car for various reasons:

1. Not get hassled by the cops. Cops hate tint more than anything because tints jeopardizes their safety
2. I like to be able to clearly see and enjoy the scenery late at night while cruising

Wow looks great! This color has to be seen in person to appreciate the most. As far as tint, in Oregon you cannot go that dark, so maybe consider a very very light tint, which would be classy, still functional, but not a cop target? Otherwise the pic looks great, I like how the red/blue contrast eachother!
