Got another package from the land of the rising sun - some parts from an epic JDM tuner TOM'S Racing )

Here is the oil filler cap:












The Start/Stop button:










And the drop-in air filter:





Gonna get my car back from the repair in a few days. And then tons of parts waiting in the garage will be installed )

I like the GS F Sport shift ****. The stock one scratches easily with rings on fingers

Imprezario

Yes, GS' one is surely more comfortable.

Forgot to post pics of the LEDs installed into mirror lamps - here are the PIAA 85 lm 6000K LEP102. VERY bright, but not blinding like some chinese noname bulbs, and pure white - just what I was looking for )

We all can learn a lot from you here in the states. That "**** happens" to our cars and we cry for a month. You on the other hand continue to purchase new parts while the car is still in the body shop

Imprezario

It's alive and well ) The repair is finally over, the car is like new and got the first good bath ) The original body colour matched Skipper lip was bolted on the fresh bumper during repairs. As one my friend says "Repairs is a reason for tuning" )





Sorry for the incredibly picturesque background...

Got some fresh PIAA-made toys from our local distributor - silver bulbs for the front winkers (a replacement for the crashed ones) and silicone wiper blades. The factory ones lasted about one year (25000 km) before they started to draw some rainbows on my windshield, so I've read a lot of positive reviews of the PIAA wipers and ordered a set )








It's not easy to capture how the silver finish looks in person, but I think I've managed it on this shot:




Here is a comparison of the OEM Lexus (which are the DENSO Hybrids packed into the red Toyota box actually) and the PIAA Aero Vogue silicone wipers. The original blades utilize a full plastic carcass, while PIAA uses the plastic body with a metal hangers of the rubber blades. So they are a bit heavier ( for the wallet too) and feel more solid in hand. Will see how they perform and last. The factory set was a very-very-very good one according to my experience )








The upper one is PIAA:




And PIAA is the lower blade on this shot:







Looks like they are still Made In Japan )




The install of all this stuff is scheduled for the saturday along with the Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust and Sustec Tower Bar. Stay tuned )

Imprezario

Finally installed my Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust! One barrel needs some alignment, so pics of the car and sound clips will be posted a bit later. Shots of the unboxed parts for now )
