Nice progress so far, although judging by your previous vehicles, I'm shocked your first mod wasn't slamming the suspension. When's that coming?

I kind of wanted some performance mods so i opt for those first. I'm planning to lower it soon but don't know exactly when.

Forgot about this thread :x

Heres a lil update..

Usually at work or how I call it " kick back Sunday " is when all I do is work on my car..


Painted it gloss black with brembo decal.

Ht shift package ( installation was a breeze ) shifting feels so amazing now




Function & form type 2s ( thanks Preston @ f2 for the hook up )





How she sits.

And to rap things up here's a pic of my work place ( waiting room for customers )

Been pretty busy at work but had some time to buy some goodies for the car..

Here's a skyline I worked on. Changed out the subframe since the owner hit a huge curb..



Failed attempt to fix it ( some ghetto shop tried to weld/hammer it back which didn't work )



Look how HUGE these brakes are


Now back to my car..

Goodies - squash air refreshener



Oem keyhole delete


5k hid fogs


Swapped out my cracked pcd for a new/repaired one



Oem clutch & trunk motor ( mind broke for some odd reason



My lip kit should be arriving this week along with my cf interior pieces

I'm tackling my clutch change with a help of a friend, wish me luck !

How she sits now with the rear roof visor

I agree. You're modding the car in a really good way. Keeping it clean and not "over done".

Very nice car, man.

Had a big project this week and my neck/back hurts from laying on the floor to change out the clutch.





It was a pita to drop this subframe by myself... Of course with the help of my trusty 2 friends " jack " .






Took a break from the clutch job to tackle this baby ( front lip )




Back to work on this baby

Beautiful previous cars... I love that Lexus IS300. I previously owned one also, it wasn't modded though.

I love the new addition to the family, good find

Jealous of your 6mt

I was too caught up in doing the clutch and had so much going on. Not sure if I should get the rear carbon cover for the arm rest :/

Modded black housing headlights! Just got my JnC's installed last week. Gotta wire up the leads form the LED Halos soon. Otherwise they look great. No more orange diffuser...it's CF now.

ZKW-R lenses -- $40 (installed)
USR clear diffusers -- $80
Umnitza halos -- $125 plus $25 install
CF work -- $20
Trade in -- $25
Shipping -- $29

Sounds like a great deal to me! Damn! Make sure you physically inspect them before purchase. If that's not possible, pay via paypal so your ass is covered.
