I got this car from my Dad a few months ago and have been doing my homework on what I can upgrade on it
If I can figure out how to attach bigger pics it would be great but they look better if you click on them....
Anyway I swapped the Air Suspension for some BC Racing adjustable Coil overs,,, LOVE THEM !!!!!!!!!! With the conservative tire I chose this thing still rides good enough that we can haul Mom and Dad out to dinner in my car but the handling is 1,000 % better than it was....
Sorry, I have been making progress but struggling to get the pics into place so I can post updates. Now using my google cloud so it seems to be better.
UPDATES: I have drivers door panel and console lid off at the upholsterer for leather repair/replacement
I didnt post pics of my headlight blackout which I am very happy with the results.
Did some carbon fiber film on door handles which I think looks really rich and has been totally durable so far (been on there about a month). I tried the carbon fiber on the mirrors but didn't like the look so I just painted them black.
Got the ride height where I want it and it doesn't scrape or rub even fully loaded (very happy about that)
Removed the "Lexus" and "430" badges (left the "L") but will have to find some plugs for the holes to hold me over till I can have a Body Shop fill them,, and fix the damage I caused on the RF fender when I lost my mind and cranked the coil overs down too extremely.... DOH....
Still To Do:
Replace new interior leather repairs (as soon as they get done at upholsterer
DIY repair on Drivers door unlock project (ordered my actuator off EBAY as I read about here in this forum)
Replace Mark Levinson stereo with 2DIN unit in cassette/CD space/new speakers
Super Top Secret exterior mod that will change the whole look of the car (stay tuned I want to do this 60.00 DIY project within 2 weeks)

Reason: mispelled holes,,,He He,,,I said holes...
Got my 3M Vinyl wrap on this weekend,, (took two attempts),,, It didnt come out perfect but I love it and perhaps I will pay someone at some point to redo perfectly or just wait for repainting the car down the road and make it permanent (paint) then...
