Finally got around to properly sealing my fog lamps with my HID bulbs.

Also re-sealed my passenger headlight because of bad leaks. The Supermade lens doesn't looks too bad after 3 years of brutal AZ sunlight and dust. If you ever need to take apart your headlight and re-seal it, do not use regular black silicon...it sucks, use Ultra Black RTV silicon gasket maker by Permatex. I used Permatex on my driver side long time ago and never leaked.

rear dif cover is leaking, and judging by the sound and the amount of fluid on the ground, I have zero lube in there. how much for a seal? or is it like a ford with RTV? also do I use LSD add?

just left lexus of wilmington (perk of where I work) and they said RTV and no additive, thnaks guys. I added the info here for anyone else with this issue.

Having my custom exhaust, between PPE headers and Tanabe Axle-back, installed right now. 2.5" dual pipes with an x-pipe and no resonators. I can't wait to see/hear this set up. I hope it sounds aggressive but not so loud that I get pulled over!

Had tint installed yesterday. Thank goodness for credit cards!!

I got those film from local craigslist it's bubble free and really easy to do. the previous one i had was also bubble free but it was really hard to get the bubble off, but this one is super easy!!! and 4D looks more like real carbon fiber.haha anyway here r pics.

Well got bored and picked up a brand new set of these. They are 17-9 and 17-10
Also ordered a HKS turbo timer
Then turned right around and ordered a Greddy Speed Cut defender since my 1 jz w/vvti likes to cuts out at curtain speeds.

Found some spray paint and was bored so I did this..

Didn't turn out too bad


Unfortunately it doesn't look that great in the car so if anybody near by wants them just hit me up. Would probably look good in a renaissance red car but not a bordeaux *please excuse all the wiring* lol
