Thanks for the compliments. Not offense to Acurazine, but I outgrew the car and got tired of those forums - there wasn't enough product development for a discontinued model and everything I was doing was "custom" - and that got old fast too. Then again, with this car, there's a lot of aftermarket support, but at the same time all the parts are so $$$$ -

Yeah, we were talking about that last December when you installed my Datasystems/Vaistech/Prestigious Society goods!

I was telling you how I spent way too much money on that Acura; ASM x Recaro Seats, Mugen Wheel, Takata Harnesses, Full Custom Stereo, Custom Interior, just about P2R and Comptech everything

Nope. My first car was a 280ZX... monster torque! But then I moved to Audi 4000S (horrible electronics), Nissan 200SX, Honda Civic Si, Honda Integra Bi16A engine rocked (these Hondas were in Japan), more Hondas to include the CRX Si that I loved in the US and the finally LS430, LS460 (moved up in less than a year- yes I took a beating on the trade in), then now a LS600h- will be driving this for a while or the wife will try to kill me Lorena Bobbit style. Now thinking of a Nissan GTR for fun but the gas would go bad as little as I actually drive....

Just picked up a set of LS600 headlights today:




Next, I'll need to order the harnesses to make them all work.

Thanks. I just wish the harnesses were cheaper. Let's see some pics of your car!
