Default Mod Bug Got me bad this winter

So this winter i wasnt driving the car at all. It was all back to stock. To kill time, i had this itch to just buy up a bunch of stuff! Everything will be on in the next couple weeks.

Btw those are boxes stacked on boxes! lol
Consists of:
F-Sport Exhaust
F-Sport Intake
F-sport Rear Sway
CF Roof Spoiler
CF Aerotech B-pillar overlays (to match with the interior and roof spoiler)
Vaistech MedialineQ (VML) Ipod integration kit
Lexus IS-C Fogs (I know, Finally right!?)
Lexus IS-C Grill insert (I was using the stock one before and i made it fit with zip ties but you could kind of tell. Found this Stock IS-C one on ebay for cheap so i had to get it.)
DDM Tuning 5000k HIDs
Piaa Yellow ION H11s (for the Fogs)
Lunimics JDM yellow 2500K (DRLs)
Lexus IS-F Steering Damper (the kit off sewell)
Junction Produce Red pillow Cushions (they are actually pretty comfortable)
Straight from japan, VIP steering wheel cover. (its really thick and soft )
Lexus 9.1 Navigation Update (im still on the 6.1 lol)
Lexus 60k service Kit (im at 75k, so really need to do all that stuff)
I think thats all. Will keep this thread updated. My works will be back on but more aggressive this time. Single Digit offset?

I also bought the F-sport exhausted used from another member.
It looked liked this in the morning:

Looks like this now!


I highly recommend Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish.

Wow, that's a heck of a way to kill time! I wish I could afford to kill time that way .

Congrats on all the new goodies. You did an AWESOME job shining up that exhaust, how long did it take you?

^^^ really not that long! It was mostly dirty from regular use. I just washed it, dried it, sat there and applied the polish. Id say the whole thing took not much longer then an hour.

i bought em off a member on VIPstylecars. They look really nice. At first i was gonna sell them cause i wasnt sure i was going to use them. Then i tried sitting in the car with them against my back, realll comfortable. These are it, and they are darker in person. Thats just the lighting.
