I like this consistency and was always a fan of Tokico when I had my MR2 fitted with those shocks.
I just realised we have different carpets in the UK! Ours say Lexus RX sideways in GOLD!

Car cover came in a couple day's ago for Thumper. Gave him a good wash and then covered him up!

Well, the Mini was an easy one. Prop's guessing the El Camino corrado!

Thank you!

This is where these two belong, but right now half the garage is filled with house hold stuff from our remodel last year. That means the wife's car gets the only spot! I hope to get the El Camino back in the garage in a couple months, he doesn't like it outside!

Were looking into a car lift so that I can keep them both in the garage with the wife's car!

^^^ I know the feeling


I had some extra tint and put it to good use. Applied 35% tint to the front license plate cover (on the back side) to help blend in the WHITE plate into the spindle grill a little better. With the before shot, you can see the difference. Any darker though I can get a ticket. Did the same on the IS too.
