Here is the horrible steering wheel cover.

I am from L.A. currently living in Chandler (near Phoenix) hoping I can go home before it gets any hotter.

Car is a well maintained daily with the normal chips, scratches & one keyed rear quarter panel. I am looking for an orbital polisher to hopefully get rid of some of the defects.

Thanks.

I thought it was 7.00 & 5-6 for shipping but I looked and it was 3.98 & 10.00. A bargain for sure.

Looks great! Well I guess I'm partial as I have the same exact car and just love it. I purchased it in 5/07 and thought I wouldn't use the navi much but have noticed quite a few fingerprints on the screen! How many miles are on it?

Thanks. I love the car but am used to the Garmin based Kenwood DDX7019 in my LandCruiser and hate this Nav.

It has 151k but was pampered by the PO and is as close to like new as an 8 year old car with 151k can be. It needs a good detail and will be getting the front end sprayed soon as it's full of tiny freeway rock chips.

Here are a few after a wash pictures. Anyone have driving lights? Mine are thrashed.

The oil is from my LandCruiser. It loses 1/4 quart a month from the oil pump cover, a 2.00 gasket I have had for 2 years that is a major pita to get at so I add oil.

First major mod, 05 TL rims. They look as good as I expected. I know it looks like a 4X but I like not stressing the driveways & ruts (I have springs & shocks are ordered)

I just finished installing my Basslink II. I am very impressed with the bass it puts out & want to thank the FAQ & members that posted tips because it made the job much easier, especially the directions to the hole in the firewall near the throttle cable. I would have never found it on my own.

I'll post pictures later.
