God Man! I just don't get it! These cars just look so nice stock! I just don't understand why you would spend money on a body kit and wheels and stuff! Just plan stupid! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just Playing!

LOL ,but i knew you wouldn't say that. It does remind me of a comment I put in an other thread the other day , it was worded different but I am too lazy to find it so here is the jist .
If i cared about what people thought about my car I would rock knock off parts, chrome dangly bits and kumho tires with the ideology of if it ain't broke don't fix it . Difference is I care about my cars , not what anyone else thinks which is why 95% of all the parts I change are preventative maintenance and I roll on with my camber worn Toyo's .

fog light mod was like 5 -6 years ago .
It uses tapping a wire in the steering column and a relay with a switched positive like the parking lights. The relay is behind the column on the back of a fuse block , real fun to get to .

Well since it was seen last year i have
Refinished my rims to a machine finish from being painted.
upsized my tires to Toyo T1-R 255/35 20( gives the rims some extra cushion ) and 275/30 20 for the rear
alarm/starter 2 way paging also opens and closes my windows
JL audio stereo 10w-7 and 500/1 with a 1 farad cap
factory matched the front grille to the rest of the upper colour
replaced the passenger mirror which cracked
got all 4 new Drilled rotors
PBR brake pads
changed to Motul synthetic oil for the engine
Motul synthetic for the diff
Foglight mod to use them without the headlights
Golden Yellow 3000k HID's for the headlights
HID's for my fogs using Phillip's gen 3 ballasts and osram xenarc bulbs with 9006 adapters
LED bulbs for the front turn signals as well as adding load resistors so they flash normal
LED interior bulbs for everything
LED bumper lens bulbs
LED's added to the upper turn signals and also the lower dummy lights beside the fogs which had none
PIAA bulbs for the city lights
PIAA bulbs for the trunk licence
Rear chrome trunk lid handle ( not that big ugly thing on eBay )that attaches to the rear plate from Mercedes Benz.
Changed all the bulbs for the heated seats VSC and headlight washer buttons under the ashtray
New Lexus carpets.
optima yellow top battery
new ground wires
painted the rear sub cover as it was fading ( the best and most effective mod to freshen the interior with new carpets
Last years mods were
Lsportline mufflers
Brembo orange anodized calipers
new fog light
my 20 inch O.Z. rims with some crappy dunlops
cold air intake
fixed all the stone chips
MR. clean magic eraser'd the whole inteior and made it look factory new again
got a new master key
This years mods left
finish my exhaust with borla y-pipe mufflers or just do an x-pipe
finally paint my L-sportline bodykit and install it as well as getting my hood and trunk painted ( i am keeping the 2 tone )
take all 28 dings out of the body panels
clear bra the front end after i get it painted
tint the windows with a 50% mirror ( not the fading one tint film) which adds a slight glare but nothing dark as it looks like the glass is just really clean and shiney instead of black.
finally put my celsior badge on
mods left........
maybe get a header from J brady
other than that i think i am done until i find a supercharger since i don't want to get into a turbo set up for it since the Japanese company C's is gone
Enjoy ,i know i am
