drove to work this morning... put my foot to the floor and the accelerator bottomed out but the engine didn't downshift... that's weird, it only felt like the pedal only went down a quarter of the way too...

look at the floor and saw the 1x3 piece of wood i had under the pedal from when i bled the brakes last week... oops... fail kam... :tomato:

I just got my front and rear bumpers re-painted. No more license plate in the front anymore.. not the best color match but I can't complain since it was done for free.

Tinted windows (20% in the rear 35% up front)
JDM window visors
PDR on my rear quarter panel

Default Little bit

15mm space front 30mm spacer rear. Intake and ceramic headers. Went to raceway to kick it with fellow Lexus owners in Sac. Nice day I must say. Future Lexus owner in training!!!

Looking proper. Clears LS4 brakes nice

Little wide. But I like it
