Re-did the door-sills; wrapped in leather this time (vinyl ... "pleather" ...).
I couldn't find a close enough color though :\
The one I thought was nearest was too olive; so I settled for this.
I don't think it looks bad.
It's certainly more luxurious, than the plasti-dip version ...

Whatcha think?
I might be able to dye it.

Apart from that, I went spoilerless, and I'm starting to like it

Today I removed the foglamps and added honeycomb metal screen. I also removed the license plate and made a plate out of plexiglas and plasti-dip the back of it in black, and added a sticker.

The Porsche photo is not mine. I just wanna show the theme I'm going for.

I would like your opinion.

Hi i have a 1999 LEXUS SC400 so my strut mounts needed changing so i did that my mechanic said i needed a Insulator for the front strut Springs.. My car makes a nasty load metal rubbing noise when i turn etc.. IT'S annoying so i looked up everywhere and nothing on the rubber pieces that go in between the spring and front strut mounts all i keep getting is strut boots bellow and bumpers they look like they won't fit in between the spring and front strut mounts any ideas? It's so irritating not getting any answers

Whirlwind week; in no particular order...

- Got Lance Alignment done now that wheel selection is finalized & Supra rear sway is on.
- Bought used Apexi Neo to go with my new, not yet installed AEM Wideband.
- Ghetto painted trunk/spoiler. Re-sealed spoiler lip & new bolt hole gaskets.
- Worked (and temporarily failed) on tail light disassembly. Put spare, partially damaged, non-leaky light on for now.
- Bought Techna-Fit stainless steel brake lines.
- Bought replacement driver's door glass + new belt line mouldings.
- Prepped (braced) better condition interior window trim for swapping along w/ window.
- Ordered my third Rack & Pinion in the past year (#1 arrived broken, #2 has bad seal). Ugh.
- Getting R&P and Supra front LCAs swapped next week, plus hydro fan hoses and oil filter housing leaks addressed.
- Designed and patented (!) the stationary aero foil for cabin cooling/sheltering.
- Picked up fiberglass supplies to finally tackle my hood vent mockup.

THANK GOD-NO MORE BRAKE SQUEAL!!!!! Had the correct shims and springs installed on TT brakes. And had a leaky cam seal, left-side valve cover gasket and main power-steering line. She like it when I treat her right!!
