Original owner did a horrible wiring job so my headlights were flickering as I hit bumps on the road. So I took everything apart and rewired it.

Let's see who can spot the most items . Just kidding, excuse my mess.

I got the master key, chip, and cutting according to VIN# for under 200$. I went to my local junk yard and pulled some needles off an LSx00 I believe. I might forgot what Lexus but it was old.

How's it feel with the strut bar?

I was thinking about getting one, but a few people said there is no noticeable difference with their's installed.

Looks tight regardless.

Wow! Thats a good deal. Although mine are 285's I got them for $190 each including tax.
Today, I started Fixing the wiring. What a mess! its all tangled up, most of the clips are broken and some wires are connected by only couple of strands. Lol Old owner said its USDM supra wiring he got from a shop. But I doubt it, Im gonna start bringing fire extinguisher in my trunk now.

Thats good news...

I finally gave my SC a bath and cleaned up some of the wiring from the tune. All pretty now, but now my AEM widenband wont come off of --- . All the digital stuff works but stays completely right and just shows --- across it. I guess I knocked something loose when I was moving some wires aorund. Dang it, now I have to investigate it.
