Default hows my car been doin???

hey guys just wanted to keep you guys updated with my car. tell me what you think.

so after xmas i had a little bit of extra money and i checked out the classifieds. this is what i got.


its a farenheight tid530 or something. got that for $40 bucks ha




^^ it didnt fit so my uncle custom did that by like shaving the end's off.^^



two 12" kenwood subs.



sorry bout the small pics


i got a piece of wood and cut it to match the hole where the spare tire goes. i bolted those down and placed the carpet over, then i put the box on top and screwed it woodtowood.(it was funny when i told my friends to try and rip it out and it wouldn't budge lol) its not just the front where its screwed in that was just so they could not slide it farward i also did it in the back so
stealers would have to work extra hard to get to it.

still finding place for the amp



and this is for you guys who haven't seen it. these are my 30,000k h.i.d.s



oh and can anyone help me with this? i have 2 tv's in the headrests and i do all the install's myself. i have no clue how to hook them up. coming from under the center consol to the dash there is just one rca cable and 2 silver wires. my stereo has a video in and out. and there is nothing to hook them up to the tv's

Everything is fine, but i'm not a big fan of super smoked out tailights...I nearly rear ended someone in the morning because i couldn't tell if the driver is braking or not. You should get some l.e.d tailights. Hiyooo!

Nice mods but I can see those on a civic though, not on a Lexus. Farenheit is descent if you get the one with the navigation (350.00) in Canal st. The Kenwood amp is good but I would change the other one. The headrest tvs, look for video out on the headunit and you might need a video amp(40.00) to boost the signal.

yeah it was harsh. in fact it was really harsh. im trying to keep up with the guys on here and he basically told me i aint near that level and im doing everything wrong.Im not gunna argue with him cause its not worth it. but let me tell you something. ever since i was i was 10 iv been putting aside the money my mom gave me for a first car. i ended up with a little over 5k and got this car. pround to say a lexus is my first car and it was my money i got it with. my parents got a divorce so no house. moms a receptionist so i live in an appt with no garage in a bad area, if it wasn't obvious i did all this for security reasons. i had 2 kicker L7's and a eclipse double din ripped outa my car 2 months ago. im 16 with no job cause i can't find one. and i got the subs for $70 witch i think kenwood is a good brand. i got the amp for $30.
i got the farenheit used cause i liked the screen and it has a detachable face. i take it in with me whenever i go inside. i make my money by giving friends rides to school. oh and by the way i like my hids they weren't what i wanted but they work. they dont blind people cause of the color and i can see the road just fine with em. my friend has a silverado with 8000k and he likes mine better. being a car finatic im not going to sell the car cause of where i live. i know you weren't this BALLIN at 16. so i aint mad i got big plans for me and my car in the future so when i get a job you'll be the joke mr.jokester. you should ask Why i got them befor you tell my Why i shouldn't have.
