Absolutely on the halo's being further back covering the whole shroud, but I couldn't get a clean OEM look doing it, so I went with the outer circle of the lens.




I did forget to mention that I have won the "Retrofit Of The Month" this past month, my car is on top of the website ;D

I speak from no experience on this car just a couple other retrofits ive done. I will be pulling these headlights apart soon enough though.

I saw that when I logged in and I was like damn that lexus looks familiar haha Congrats!

Car has been parked at Central Pine's garage for now until the body kit arrives from Japan.

Hopefully Sam does a good job as he always does. Can't wait for it.

Quick update.

Lady is still sitting at Central Pine, waiting patiently.

The kit is still at sea. But in the mean time I got my hands on some bags, AirRunner's. New tank and lines from Accuair.

Bags installation will be very soon, then the kit will follow.



Just couldn't justify riding static on the BC's with the kit being as low as it is, so went with air.

Your car is looking great man! I haven't seen it in a while and it looks like you're making some pretty big moves.

I love your headlights! I've always wanted halos like yours but I don't want to mess up my lights. How difficult was it to add the halos?

Thanks Kira! Yup been waiting on so many parts to arrive from Japan, that sometimes I almost forget that I have plans :P
Makes me feel like Japan is more far away than Mars.

The halos were really easy to add because I have found the exact right diameter, for both projectors. Got them from TRS. And it was a matter of wiring up and hiding all the work from there, so that you keep it looking good.

Feel free to PM me about them, Kira .

Thanks Mikey. I haven't seen the car yet, but Sam and the CP crew did a good job of fitting it in.




Something that came up on the threads was a "push to start button" mod for the 430. I don't remember how long I've been thinking about getting this feature. I think it adds such modern-ness to the car and makes it feel brand new IMO.
So went ahead, did a little bit of research and contacted Advanced Keys to find out which kit works best for the 430. They were very prompt and provided me a specific diagram for the '06 430.

They suggested I get Kit number AK-105B, and I also had to buy an immobilizer bypass from XpressKit, part #1101T.

Can't wait to have the fellas fit it in. We'll keep you guys updated.

Should have it installed by next week.

What are the air suspension specifications?

I would like to do it in two ways : first the coilovers and in a second time the bags. So I need some compatibles coilovers.

Looking good, you keep saying "kit" which did you decide on? Like the way you're going with it now also...
