How much would you charge for a set of those solid steering rack bushings? Shipped to 91775.

I was thinking the same thing ..

Nah, the trunk lights are what make the rear. Put them back on.

Glad to see you resurrected her!

To the guys who asked about getting the steering rack bushings made, why not buy figs? They are very affordable.

trunk light delete looks way better. just needs red tail lights. i'd delete mine if my car wasn't red.

Took some photos at an abandoned warehouse area.

I dont mind the rear trunk lights missing. The silver altezza style housings just throws it off for me. I would have replaced that front fender as that gap would have driven me nuts. Other than that the car looks pretty awesome. Have you fully wet sanded and polished the paint after curing? I think that would make the yellow pop more as I can can notice some blurry spots in the paint.

I think you should also look for these style LED tail lights to make the tail delete less noticable

Wow that's an awesome project. IS300 is timeless

Thanks Hoovey.

I haven't wet sanded or polished the paint yet, it's just as I sprayed it at this point. I've been reading about wet sanding, and am moderately worried i'll screw it up. I will do a test on the rear bumper or something first, and the rest of the car if it looks good.

The gap between the fender and hood annoys me as well, but not enough to justify buying a new fender just yet.

As for those LED tail lights, well, I might have to keep my eyes peeled for a set. They look nice.

I think the next mod will be a custom exhaust setup. Maybe a custom Y pipe and 3" straight back, with a universal Vibrant muffler. Engine build, turbo, and manual swap will have to hold off until I graduate.

I didn't read before but did you do a single stage paint or do you have a clear coat on top. If you have a clear coat , wet sanding will be fine and easy. You can wet sand single stage but if you never done it before i would do a lot of research because I think wet sanding doesnt sit well depending on the type of paint.

Looks good so far, wheels look nice on there. Not sure how I feel about the trunk light delete, though!

Cheers

New front brake pads and rotors, I went with EBC yellow stuffs and their slotted rotors. The added bite and pedal feel is amazing, although the only comparison I can make is to the worn to **** OEM pads and rotors that I replaced.

Single stage Acrylic Urethane, should be able to wet sand but I'll read into it for sure. Thanks man.

sweet rotors, how much did you get them for? How are they noise-wise?
