Replaced a cracked radiator.
Deep cleaned the engine bay.
Fixed a few small issues with the car..
Then washed it today.
I should be installing my coils early this upcoming week.
Still saving up for wheels.

Sooo true!
Girls never notice.
But you see, here's my master plan to take over the world...
I get all the dudes to love my car to the point where its their background on the computer and cell phones. Then we become friends. Their girlfriends see the guys and how they are and then... I swoop in and steal their girls!
hahahha just kidding.
Maybe.

Removed the stock spoiler.
Started to shave the trunk.
Got lazy.

This stock fitment is killing me!
Anyone want to sell me some clean oem ls460 wheels?
At least until I can save up for real wheels.

I'm rolling the fenders this week.
