Default Lmood's build thread

hey everyone, had my f for a couple of months now and its time to start modding her.
how i bought her


i guess technically my first mod was the addition of my bill murry sticker lol

so last night i became a member of the joez family. picked up the intake from t-rex06.

had to put another clamp on the right hose because the it wouldn't stay on the tube of the intake.
i have more mods planned, but unfortunatly little time to do them. i will post them up when i get them done though. thanks for lookin

The red intake definitely adds some color to the engine bay. It probably won't be too long till an exhaust of some kind is on it. That will really awaken the F greatly. Congrats on the F, and continue to enjoy her.

hey yall, sorry its been a while but ive been busy with work and layin floors in the house, plus the wife has been having to use the computer for her school work. anyway, i did manage to get around to installing my spoilers i picked up and painted my rear lexus emblem . i still need to do the rest on the trunk, but as i said, ive been a lil busy. here is what i have so far.




had a slight gap the right side. may have been what i used to plug the hole where the bolt for the stock spoiler was or the spoiler itself, i plan to take off the spoiler and cover that hole with something else to see if it will sit better. and es bnizzle, i do plan on an exhaust one day. still debating on which route i want to go in that area. next up is installing my figs lca bushings.

Very nice. You might be the only one with anodized red JoeZ intake.

Which spoiler ( I know it is a WALD) did you buy? Real or rep from eBay? I am looking to get one for mine and so far everyone has been having excellent luck with the carking one.

Thanks!

I also got that combo from carking... not bad for the price, but I also have a slight gap on one of the sides. You just got the figs front lca bushings right? I'm tempted to do this too...

Excellent news! Carking has been working with the 2IS group to solve the fitment issues. That's the way I'm going to go.

I bought the bushing a month or two ago and had them pressed in the brackets this passed saturday. Very simple install. If I needed to take them off again it would maybe take 10 to 15 mins per side.
