Ahh, I also installed a pioneer double din. Very quick and straight forward install. Took me an hour since I already made the extended harness while waiting for the radio and the jdm bracket to arrive. Big difference with the sound! It's like I have aftermarket speakers in.

Wellp, here's mines:









-This was the Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS
-Stock door speakers (will soon upgrade to 6.5's with adapters, along with the motorized LED side mirrors)
-That $40 mono boss amp(factory sub doesn't work with aftermarket amps)
-2 12's in a sealed box.

Hey guys,

Since I have a black car, I think tinting the rear lights dark would be a good idea. A light tint giving it a smoky look.

I tinted the indicator/reverse section since it doesn't look as unified as a solid light. Also the two inner lights look weird, tinted them also.

Have a look at the process here


I was thinking to get new lights altogether but there isn't much selection anymore. I'd like to open them up and do some additional manual mods but I need a sacrificial oven.

Bought a ton of stuff for the GS400 a couple days ago and am now waiting for them to arrive. I have chrome vinyl coming in (bear with me, it's not for what you think) so I can vinyl the chrome trim on both the front and rear bumper since they have completely faded and look pretty ugly being a yellowish color. I also have red tail light vinyl coming as well. I have new a new MAF and fuel filter coming as well. I will try and post pics of before and after vinyling everything.

Cleaned the slider pins, one on the front was sticking and the brake pedal isn't spongy anymore. If you're brake pedal feels soft, I suggest checking the pins

Replaced fuel pump. It's probably a fifteen minute job, but something about working around a tank full of gasoline that makes one extra cautious
273K on the odo and still kicking.

Now, I wonder if I'm wise enough to order a starter now instead of waiting to get stranded somewhere
