Here's the new and improved ride height.



It's probably a bit high for some of you guys, but any lower just isn't practical around my city. Technically, I'm suppose to own a four wheel'd drive truck to live in Walker County. If the powers that be find out I'm driving a Japanese rice burner, I'll be tar'd and feathered, draw'd and quartered, and what little pieces of me they find after that will be fed to the hogs.
I'm only posting this picture because I trust none of you guys are narks and I'm hoping none of you want my blood on your hands.

Thanks dengman. I like it.

I'm still contemplating putting my Work Equips on for a day or two to see if I like them as well, but these wheels are growing on me more and more every day.

I live in Walker County.

Great looking car. Now that you mention it, they do look like the Cobra R wheels.

Didn't know the original owner sold it! Still looks good! A bit higher in the front than mine, but we're pretty close! We're sorta twins!

WOW!!!!!!! We're distant twins at best. Your car is beautiful. I love mine, but I don't think my paint is near as clean as yours. I have lots of paint chips and it seems I find more everyday. I'll get it painted one day once I'm through with the swap.

Hopefully I'll meet you at a meet later on next year. Georgia isn't too far away from me, depending on what part you guys have the meets in.

Haha, thanks man! I got lucky with the car, but the paint isn't perfect, the front driver's side fender doesn't match the rest of the car, and I've got my fair share of chips on the front lip and knicks. I, too, would love to re-spray the car once I find a new hood (sans hail damage) and do a few other things... Looking forward to meeting you if you come out! Most of our meets are near or around Atlanta! Can't wait to see what else you do with yours!

Atlanta would be perfect. I think it's about two and a half hours away. Maybe I can talk Mark into coming. His car is beautiful. It makes me want to do my swap as neat and as perfectly as his. I'm not sure I can manage it, but I plan on bribing him with cash to help me once I get started...........lol

Well today, I changed the fuel pump and put new rotors and brake pads on the back.



O.K., let me correct myself. I did put a fuel pump in, but it was in my ford explorer. I also did put new rotors and brakes on the back, but that was on my Ford F150 work truck. All I've done to the Lexus the last week or so is drive it..................and it feels so good to drive a car instead of work on it.
