The two curbed rims are back from repair and look pretty good. The rim faces still have some imperfections, but I was only concerned with the curbage as a few nicks are going to occur during install or as a result of everyday driving. Should be able to get them down to Discount Tire tomorrow and get them mounted up to my existing tires that are currently on my OEM 18s.

Central Pine has some outrageous prices. My sister bought a grille from them and they never shipped it or responded to her messages until she filed a Paypal claim. They offered to ship it after that but she took the refund. I've heard quite a few negative reviews about them but they delete the reviews right away. I always get tempted to order rare parts from them but it's so risky.
I remember Revision Audio had some nice stuff. I've bought some smaller items from him and he shipped them. I keep seeing the Tom's kit pop up but I like the OEM one better. There was a really nice Aimgain kit I saw but it costs as much as a second LS.

Still need to clean them up a bit more but I'm very happy with how they turned out. Wish I kept my security lugs... if anyone has a set of the 4 Lexus locking lug nuts, the lug tool and the pouch for the tool, please PM me.

Still need a few more pieces before she is complete. Hopefully should be landing a few other rare parts in the near future.

Looks great, Romanova!
Do the wheels take mag seat hardware? We may be able to help.

I should add that the Cree 5K LED bulbs in the fog lights are junk. They LOOK amazing but as far as actual light output... very disappointed. Not sure if they work better in inclement weather but I don't drive my car in the rain. Going to swap back to the stock bulbs and see how they look.

If you're looking on YAJ, make sure you search for "UCF 31 フォグランプ". Over there, they are called fog lamps so if you try to search for fog lights, you'll come up empty. Expect to pay about $130-$145 after shipping and fees. If you have an 01-03 or UCF 30, I don't believe those ones had the yellow capsule.

Hey I’m fairly new to this whole mod thing. I am looking to get the same fog lamps but am having trouble even getting to YAJ. Is there a link you (or anyone who reads this) that can provide it? I tried copy-pasting UCF 31 フォグランプ but nothing came up through YAJ. Also, Is that an acronym?
Looking now, there are a few on there... you have to be patient for the right pair. Good luck!

There's actually a set of Pre and Post Facelift JDM Fogs on Craigslist in the IE (Rosemead) so if you want to save yourself the time, here's the link https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/...017647052.html
I’ve read all of Romanova’s posts and it looks like they can be wired to the turn signals? I’m assuming I would also have to buy a module to make the extra lights on the side work?

You need to go to auctions.yahoo.co.jp It is probably best if you're using Chrome as your browser. Then paste UCF 31 フォグランプ and filter your search from most expensive to least expensive. Or, just try this; https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/...=0&y=0&fixed=0
