Time for more updates!!


This is what came in friday,









Put in ultra bright white vanity lights, heres the comparison vs stock.














Finally had time to give her, her first bath






One of these days ill get around to my calipers, i planned on doing it sunday but just got lazy. My good friend jon is getting the lexus logo cut out of 1/4 mdf to use on the beauty panel, so when its wrapped there will be a raised logo. If my old set of rims ever sells ill have a nice update coming soon, but until then its just some small mods here and there. post some more updates when i get them. Also ill be doing a photo shoot with a local Photographer soon since all my pictures are iphone pics and terrible quality.

It was dark out when these pictures were taken and the lighting from my garage makes it look darker/purple. Its actually pretty close to F-sport blue.

Default update: 5/23

Its crazy how fast you change your mind sometimes throughout the build process. Yesterday I was all about making the switch to air, i was going to pick up bags and brackets in orlando this weekend for a great price. the main reason im afraid to pull the trigger on moving to air is basically because ive never ridden in a vehicle on air, and from what i understand its alot softer, almost like stock and I really like the way my coils ride.


So instead I ordered a brand new set of BCR's 10/12k setup from sonic ms. Im going to order the gfx rear soon too, Then modding will will take a backseat to car payments for a while.

But heres a small update, got some muteki sr48 lugs in silver.

Default updates!!

Hey guys im back at it agin. As some of you might know ive been going threw more then alot in my life in the last month with losing my father very unexpectedly. So as you can imagine I havent been too worried about my car much at all, but im trying to get my mind off things and get life back to normal agin.. or as much as possible anyways.


Now back to the mods!



Picked up some air tools to make life easier, and ive been thinking about getting some for a while now.














It was time for new tires all around so i went with the absolutely cheapest tires i could find because i blow threw tires no matter how nice they are, i always end up with bubbles in the sidewall. the tire i found were nankang ns II, F-225/30/20 R-255/30/20 ended up getting the tires for $530 shipped and i also got my gfx rear from sewell.





















Next up i bought a brand new set of BC racing BR series coil overs in 12/10k rates, I made up my mind to put off on doing air... at least for now anyways also got some akata spacers to go with them, 12mm front and 15mm rear.





















Just as im wrapping things up with the install I was mounting my rear wheels and i noticed that they didn't have pockets on them for some odd reason, i thought all vossens had stud pockets. i was pretty bummed/ pissed about not being able to poke out the rear like i planned, but What ever i guess its an excuse to look for some new wheels











That assssss
