Default My Baby Girl Olivia

So I have started to add some personal touches to my girl Olivia, (yes I named my car I have always named my cars since I was 16). I purchased her back in July I felt like rewarding my self after successfuly passing my Investment and CA life insurance licenses. She was umolested and I get her for a great price. She is an 05 GS 300 with 95k on the odo, This is the second one I have had and I plan on keeping her for a long time.

I havent done much so far besides a few bulb changes and i tinted the windows over the weekend. I have some Hid's for the fog lights comeing and I plan on doing an install and fog light mod this weekend.

All stock


Window tint in progress








I will have some pics of the finished product a little later on today.

Went home on my lunch and I found a package in the mail! I love that I can buy stuff on my phone and two days later it shows up on my door step.

What is it?

My 3000K HID kit for my fogs




I got these from HID Xtra i have dealt with them in the past and have had nothing but excellent customer service and a great product to boot.

Well I was supposed to have 5% on the rear passenger and back windows with 15% up front. But the window film place didnt have enough 5% so I went with 18% all windows and 5% on the rear.

I like it better this way actually because i can not stand the color shift from 5% to any other tint with regards to the front and back windows. I feel that the color shift should be the same or as little as possible.

I had the yellow fogs on my UCF10 and I liked them they had no green in them at all. I put some yellow halogens in my high beams and they look like crap. I am very unhappy with them but I will be making changes to them shortly.

As far as installing the fogs I have decided to go a different direction with them and I will be using a diffrent set up but still go yellow. So I will update these soon.

Hit up Luxury Mods for a LED Interior Kit. Ask for Tony and tell him you're interested in the 'Super Bright' LED Interior Conversion. He hooks it up.
