Angry help! new owner as well

hey guys im new to the lexus scenario lol, use to own a srt4,ctsv, but besides that.....

i just bought a sc300 with a 1jz and r514 5 speed tranny with act 6 puck. i got it 1 and a half week ago recently for the past 2 days my cluster wont turn off wen i turn off the car it would stay on. i got a clifford matrix alarm system, idk what the problem is,even the lights would stay on sometimes when i turn them off.

I vote alarm to its delaying the door switch or not recognizing it cluster and heads lights shut off when you open the door

Keep it gold. Done right they are fantastic. Most people just don't have enough creativity to do it any other way than standard black on black. Search for Manaray's car for inspiration.
