Got the old tires taken off the wheels. Going to be working on cleaning them up all week before my tires come in.

Going to go ahead and put the wheels/tires on it before I get around to lowering it. I'm hoping that it doesn't look too 4x4ish.



Ordered 5k Morimoto bulbs and yellow fogs. Both should be in early this week. More pics and updates to come!

Thinking about ordering the "Top Speed Pro1" exhaust on ebay. Not really feeling like dropping $1k on the Tanabe Touring Medallion, so I was looking at the Pro1. Anyone have any experience with it? How's the fitment? I'd prefer it to not be too awfully much louder than stock.

Thanks a bunch!

Wow this system very similar to my M2 Exhaust, I can tell you the M2 exhaust sounds good and I have had no problems with it. Oh yeah and is fairly close to the price of the Top Speed.

Kyle,

Where did you find this car? It appears in showroom mint condition.

Where is Reinhardt Lexus?

Reinhardt is in Montgomery Alabama. They've been around for quite a long time.

Funny story:

I went by the service dept last Saturday to get a printed out service history of the car just out of curiosity. When the head service guy came out to look at the car he said "Damn, that looks exactly like the one I sold (Insert name here) in 2007. So he looks up the Vin, and low and behold: it's the same car!

So the car was originally purchased at Reinhardt, then this guy drive it down to Florida (where the owner lived) and now the car has found it's way back home! Lol

The guy that bought it was very meticulous with the upkeep. It was taken back to the dealer for every little thing. Rattles, funny noises, cabin filter, oil changes, etc...

I'm very happy with the car and love it more and more every day!

Got new tires installed onto the wheels today. Went with what was on the car:

Nitto NT555s all around. 245/35/20 fronts & 275/30/20 rears.

Loving the way it looks. Now all it needs is a slight drop (more so in the front) and she'll be perfect i think!

Kyle
