Thanks dude. Ill get some interior shots sooner or later. Doing all my small mods this week.

6k or 8k low/high/fog & DLR
Some interior accessories.

then figure out what im going to do as far as suspension goes. Not looking for springs or coilovers since I have the driveway from hell. you might see it in one of the pics. So Airrides a must whenever i can afford it :| haha.

Yea bro...jersey roads make it hell for static rides....I hurr ya on air, but I can't bring myself to sacrificing my ride quality for low on my sc. I'm tearing down my new 2jzgte swap and shooting for high hp, so low is not as important for this go around. Planning on a sc400 for a daily, hoping for air on that...good luck yogi! Another ftlc fan hear broski

Hey guys, Almost been a year since my last post or at least in my own thread.
I've enjoyed the a stock ride and getting in and out of driveways at ease for the past 10 months.
But with show season just around the corner. Parts we've put on orders for a while now are slowly but surely coming in. I HOPE to make a full debut over at our next show Slammed Society in April (Formula Drift)

Ill try to update you guys more and more when more parts arrive

few thank you's to Mark Arcenal of Fatlace for all his help, Vertex JP/USA, AutofashionUSA & Jun from Lexus Of Glendale Service Department.

Finally received my plates after 5 months of waiting and hours of horror at the local DMV [1/29/13]


Visited Vertex in SD.
Picked up my DIGNA by Vertex kit. Special thanks to Dat Nguyen of VertexUSA & Mark Arcenal of FATLACE



Since i do have the 06 430.
i have to swap out to the 08+ grille to use on the Kit
Which I got a lot of help from Jun at Lexus of Glendale; Service Dep. Thank you buddy.

Now sending the kit off to paint then Air & wheels very soon..
Will update you guys soon on the all progress! Stay posted
