I don't know lol. I'm busy this quarter so maybe we could meet up during the summer. See you around. Haha

EDIT: When I saw the first picture, I thought you changed your car to the ES350 that is in the garage. LOL

If you're looking for a sub I have a JL Audio 10" in my garage. It was put into my friends car for 2 days before he gave it to me. Let me know cuz I don't do sound system for my cars haha

So far so good but I'm not a fan of the rims at the moment. I'm surprised you went so dark on the tint though. I'm 35% all around and I roll down my windows wherever I go unless I'm on the freeway. CA cops are getting super annoying

Simple, look for my thread on 'leds'. You should find it in a search or looking thru 'my threads' in my profile.

A lot of the people used it as a guide after!

I got my puddle lights off ebay, But you have to modify them, because the way they come, it will look really weird, but for the LED look at 01LEXPL page, it will show you how, HERE
