Thanks guys. I just drove it to the store and back. Well I got on it, and I started smelling coolant. I was like crap. I pulled into the garage and popped the hood. The upper nipple on the radiator cap is officially broken. I am on the hunt for a new aluminum radiator. I was looking at this one..

Thanks guys. I ordered the Mishimoto aluminum radiator. I get it from Ebay and I paid a little more due to Amazon didn't state wether it came with a radiator cap or not. $285 shipped to the door.

Man, I was thinking the same thing. I cant keep no secret with anyone on here. Lol. I was seriously looking at getting him to do that. After looking at several other bays on here and SF, it seemed too much. I might do it, I might not. I think it flows better the way it is, with the piping couplings being that color of black. My friend has a booth and does it professionally. He does it on the side for extra money. I also might add the small fan on my oem fan shroud. Trigger it on with the AC. I am still awaiting pictures from Roger.

You know Shane, I never even thought of that. I really need to pull the motor and paint the engine bay. NOT!!! Too much effort.
I will do this while the radiator is out. Thanks for pointing this out.

Just an update. I removed the radiator yesterday and everything seemed pretty clean under the battery tray. The only thing wrong with the radiator is the top portion of the nipple is broke off. If anyone wants it or thinks they can fix it, they can have it. Just help with shipping. I did add another new ground battery terminal to match the positive side. I will get rid of the wing nut on the positive and go with a bolt, just to keep things even. When my wife and family leave this afternoon, headed to Nashville, I will cover the car, and sand down the shock mounts and give them a nice touch of fresh paint. Thanks again for the reminder, Shane.
Whats everyone thoughts on having my buddy paint the cover for the for relays near the clutch master cylinder and the have him do the fuse cover behind the battery? or just leave it semi gloss paint with Black Landau SEM as it sits now? Remember the couplings are this color.

I had a package I sent out wednesday scheduled for friday delivery in Cali so i figured they got new plane routes or something since they are projecting days ahead of schedule. Ofcourse it could all be BS because they have lost one of my packages for the first time in 11 years so idk. Cross your fingers i guess.

Man Brian, don't give me bad luck... Lol.. The company called me and told me it would be there on Wednesday. He said it would be a waste of time and money to have it 2 day air or overnight. I am ready to get my Lexus on the road again. Gotta pick up some Toyota coolant and a bottle of water wetter. After a good flush it should be good to go.
Need some feedback on my questions I asked earlier... Paint the fuse and relay covers like the others or leave the way they are? Kinda digging the way they are for now...

A tip on painting the engine bay you can cover everything with aluminum foil n get pretty much the whole bay without getting paint on any dress up goodies . I did it with my SC turned out pretty good . Love the color scheme black n silver or polished aluminum . Like the radiator choice n that's a great price . Be sure to have shipped UPS we hardly ever lose packages n if we do claim paid Right away
No questions asked . My engine bay will be my next project can you send the link to that turbo cover . I need to find someone who can tuck my wiring. It's a mess n I hate anything electrical . Glad you kept her bro
