THE MODS.............................


In continuing with this build I added the Tanabe strut tower brace and decided to have it painted
Before
After




Tanabe lower Under brace, also had it painted
Before
After
Installed




Stop Tech brakes w/ceramic pads

When I was looking for brakes, I went with the company that made the F Sport brakes for Lexus. I knew they made a solid product and looked great.
I called my friend Armon who is a rep for stop tech and he had them custom make these in the color I wanted. Only down side is 8 weeks and they
are painted not powder...







Lexon spoiler

I searched and searched for a front lip spoiler and in the end, I'm extremely happy with the choice I made.
Quality product and a perfect fit




Skipper rear diffuser

Once I installed the front lip spoiler, this was a must to complete the front & rear carbon look



All the chrome has been paint tinted





PPE Headers with ceramic coating

I Love the way this exhaust sounds with these headers!!

Paul @ PPE was awesome to deal with. Great communication, great product, well packed and shipped super fast. if your looking for these headers,
contact him
at sales@ppeengineering.com or here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mem...peheaders.html


Check out my video below on the interior and exterior sound. You won't be dissapointed in these








You can see how much the stock catalytic converters block flow

Rotrex C30 super charger with MAP ECU Sub-computer

I wanted this so bad!! I contacted Apexi and they were not interested in doing it. I was bummed and called everyone in the US, I thought might be able to help,
but to no avail. Nobody wants to work with lexus because you can't tune them. Sad!!

Well, 3 months had passed and I decided to call Apexi once more and plead my case. To my surprise they said "yes" . Their only request was to be patient..


It's still a work in progress, as they are still tuning it to this day.

First up: Making a mounting bracket


Mock up & Tuning shots








Finished

Wow! Freaking crazy! You have spent more in mods than the sticker price of the car.

Gorgeous and one of a kind though!
