nice stuff kevin. i am sure it's hard keeping the car under 3k rpm but i think 3k rpm is a bit low. i believe it's better to say vary the rpm more to maybe 4500rpm for the first 1000 miles.

aerotect is the best. got full hood coverage on both our ls460l and gs350 and love it. going back AGAIN next week to cover the front lip on our ls460l. been going to them for years for all our cars, love their service!!!!

what hid fogs are you guys talking about

your expert advice is well noted! i will do that, i tend to over-baby my car and drive it like it's stolen much later.

I had some Phillips Ultinon 9006 6000k HID kit left over from my previous car and since it matches, it's going into the GS Tommy actually had the HID kit sitting in his truck awaiting install, so we are meeting up tomorrow, we were like meant to meet up that Aerotech yesterday

very nice man, but after you put on the hid fogs, your headlights will look yellow time for 6000k d4s bulbs too now

i think STM is closed tomorrow (monday) unfortunately, but if you want their information on tint, let me know

if it's just front portion of the hood, and then bumper, headlights, etc... i think it's around 550 to 600? if you want the full hood (but half fenders, which is what i have), it should be around 800 or so. if you want to have full hood full fenders (what we have on the ls460l), it would probably run you around 1000 to 1100

btw, those prices are what we get here in socal. other areas, hard to say

lol, you guys are working hard on mods, hehe...

yeah, that's why we weren't too rush on the tint as well and only got it done yesterday (after 1 month owning the car). i will just still recommend ceramic tint and see if you can find it in AZ if you are going to do it there

gosh, what a itchy ride you will have going back to AZ
