Lmao!!

I do think you should keep it though. I mean it's YOUR car. It's not like it's a stock GS that anyone can make their own. This is YOUR GS. You built it from the ground up and made it you. Even if someone else owns it it'll still be known as your ride.

couple updates of the OEM 01 tail LED project. Only one LED board is done. There will be three more boards for this one tail. One for the left part of the tail, turnsignal and reverse light.

When Mike finishes these you should sell me your set of 01 tails that you're using on the GS now, Thomas.

I need that upgrade, lol.

couple updates today. After lots of detail planning with the stereo installer, he got started on the framework. This will be an old school stereo build. I grew up reading Car Audio Magazine and watching awesome builds by Richard Clark and installers like him. I can appreciate the painted fiberglass setups but its not practical for me when I daily the Lexus. My setup will be fiberglass, but it will look more stealth....until the panels are removed. On to the pics. This is pre fiberglass:





You will notice some hinges on the amp rack. This is such a cool part of the build. The air ride is hidden (won't be showing that), but the hinges shoot straight out then fold down so I can access the tank and valves when needed. The bottom two holes will display neatly ran RCAs and wires. There is plenty of room in the trunk still and even hidden compartment in the spare tire well. Groceries and stroller? Not a problem. There's going to be a lot of plexi, green tint, a lot of led work and even hydro-dipped parts to tie the rest of the car with the trunk. No vinyl, just grey factory matching carpet.

I am just glad that you didn't sell it! I just need to get started on my build. Finally got my wheels so now to figure what to do.

Just throwing it out there, and you wont see it really so its pointless......

But, fortune auto makes coilovers that are near the same color green as your brakes.....if you wanted to keep that color theme......

However, they are still looking for a test fit 2GS to finish it up......
