Very nice Steve, almost identical to mine. Also Longlife with backbox removed.

I hardly ever use the stereo love the note of the exhaust drone

With my WGP, Black with white Lexus logo. I like it.

But it will be as easy painting it a different color. That's the beauty of it.

Red or Yellow ? -- I went with black,

Upon removing the stock wheels to try install the new ones, The brake disks and calipers were very very rusty, stained and seemed to have 5 years of filth. This is very apparent when the new wheels with an open spoke sit there revealing all.

After using the de-ruster, cleaned and cleaned again, still looked a state, So I googled and found an interesting thead on painting the discs as well.

This is what it looks like Before after thorough cleaning. (Front only done for now)


After

Hi tsachiti

Brakes look good black, just need some decent drilled and grooved discs now.
Did you get the exhaust done?

Best regards
Steve
