Cool

That is a very good place to order from - Sewell Lexus. They are a Club Lexus sponsor and give an additional 10% discount besides what is advertised. Got my set for $174 something total for both driver and passenger front plates. $9 for shipping. They had them in stock. If you call, Darrell in Internet Sales is very helpful.

Thanks

I will have to order up a set and try out my rusty car skills. :P

I am waiting until after I bring my car back in to have the spoiler, ground effects, spyders installed before I start doing any mod work though.....I think it will be wiser on my part haha

Thanks again,
Kavistar

Can someone help me with finding the wire tapers? I searched through the home depot, radioshack, kragen auto sites, and went to at least 5 different shops, but can't seem to find them....

I always meant to post this info:

Radio Shack:
Tap-In Squeeze Connectors
For 18 to 22-gauge wire (RED)

Now.... I actually bought the 22 to 18, part number 64-3053. But it still worked because I just got a set of pliers, pulled out the metal, turned it around, and put it back in. Voila! I'm assuming the 18 to 22 exists.

hell:

That's what i bought. Looks like maybe 18 to 22 doesn't exist at RS. I believe Fry's has tap-ins, too, just more expensive.

So what's the code you enter when you order from Sewell to get the 10% off?

The best are from 3M, not Radio Shack like in the above post (RadShak will work, I just personally won't use them for quality reasons).

Anyways.. You are looking for "3M T-Tap" (Google for it). You will also need a male spade connector to connect to it. (Search for "3M Male Tab").

Also, any good car stereo alarm shop should be able to supply you with a few of these. My installer gave me a few in case I need them in the future.
