Im surprised there isnt anyone selling Club Lexus stickers, t-shirts, hats, key chains etc...think it would be a great idea to promote the site and donate for the site to stay up.

Recharged the air conditioning and installed front and rear White Brothers sway bars. Looking to order the Gixxer Drew setup soon and then wheels and tires.

for any of you with faded speaker grills on the tweeters or rear deck, I used flat black duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint to fix it.

subwoofer cover was the same purple as the speaker cover.

I had one of those bad SC days.

Took my car in for AC service and I have multiple leaks in the hard lines. So, windows down for the rest of the summer. And us Mid-Atlantic guys know that it's humid like no other.

And as I was driving away from the shop, I noticed that one of my repaired needles burned out in the gauge cluster.

I hate this car sometimes. I can't believe that I'm 33 and this is my daily driver....so embarrassing. I was really looking forward to taking the car to a bed and breakfast with my wife this weekend. She's 6 months pregnant so A/C is a must. Then the burnt out needle is just a kick in the ****.

I live and die by my signature note.

That sux man, as I decide to recharge with hard to find expensive R-12 or just convert the AC to 134 i feel your pain. Texas heat is a nightmare.

Painted L,
This is ''THE PUFFER', short for Cream Puff. aka 'Garage Queen'. 02 SC430 with '10 RX350 in rear.
It is definitely a taste thang (I spelled it that way), however, it does differentiate your ride.
Mask off way out to the headlights and inside the L.
I used Rustoleum plastic primer first.
Spray paint of Absolutely Red (3P0) that's a zero and not an O.
Over spray with a clear gloss top coat.
Wa da ya tink?
A variation could be to only paint the L and leave the chrome circle.
