Haven't updated in a long while... :sad: The BP exhaust tips were sticking out a little bit further than I liked. So we pushed them in a little bit, it definitely looks better! I took the car over to the Lexus dealership for some very important maintenance items, after all she's my daily, gotta keep her happy. :rolleyes: Did the timing belt service + water pump. I also asked them to flush my transmission oil fully, a complete oil flush. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/1080x1920/80-img_7946_c49c0d29eb852db9cbec4a6c707f64e6f1554deb.jpg Lexus were nice to loan me a car until the 430 was done, I got a 2015 RX450H// and loved it. Super nice and comfy SUV, and the hybrid is also a really cool power plant to tinker with. It wasn't slow either. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1274/80-2015_lexus_rx_450h_1101_34c7fea9ab6224451164fe8c02191f668d282510.jpg Here's the Black Pearl beauty today after a hot bath: https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-img_8161_2_76070ef72750145534da0a73a6e7ab168370720e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-dsc00859_3922897ead0f64bc6839e8b85bf854e7b0a04ce1.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-dsc00860_2ed3fff17de612d43748c4e8d5e83cc406351bce.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-dsc00861_c2acf7e60d79ef83fdad82b29a7f87b477182b63.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-dsc00863_2132d3725dff5e45b00cab4fc2bb6df30927a1e7.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clublexus.com-vbulletin/2000x1681/80-dsc00857_fea09389de297101377a1e398ef2cbde4ddf6178.jpg

Just got this rare Admiration grill, my buddy Sam found it while he was on his trip in Japan

I put the black surround frame around it for now. But I can't decide if I want it black, chrome or body color maroon??

we'll have to see...

Wow, this turned out nice. I have to say you were losing me with the plasti dip and black rims, but you really came back around. I had a Mercedes that color about 15 years ago and I really liked it.
