Looks great man. Are you gonna do any 2 tone work on the seats to seal the deal? Do one of your photoshop cropping on the seats. Lets see what it looks like ehh.

Hahaha, ballin on a budget!!! You got skills and creativity, you can pull it off. Lol... nah, you're right though. leathers or suede seats can get real pricey.... save it till you get your stitching on point.

i got mine off a member here for right around $100 i think. I also see them on craigslist too. I'm in AZ but if you search "VIP" on Craigslist Los Angeles i almost always see 1 or 2.

Shock Tower BANG! Remedy
If you are anything like me, if you are lowered, and your suspension hits that shock tower when you arent expecting it. Really makes me say a loud cussword in my car. Figured it's time to get the hole saw.

Thanks to i2ice - Using this awesome DIY
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...wer-holes.html

If you use a crappy hole saw, you will waste time and energy and just grind the cheap teeth down.



So get a good one, with the Pilot bit. And it will take you about 10 minutes to do this whole job.



Right



Left



ahh. no more cusswords

Also, when i pulled my dash. I broke my Wiper Lever. eBay "Make Offer" on one, i offered him $35. He sent it. Good deal.



old / new




unfortunately
i just tried to adjust the Blinker lever also, and when i opened it for inspection, springs and plastic pieces flew all over my garage.
I looked for everything but am still missing pieces.
dayum, gotta buy one of those now too
