And I hit MemoryFab up on facebook because I know they used to sell body aero but when I looked at the new setup of their site, I couldnt find any, so I hit them up on FB and asked them about their catalog and they pointed me in the right direction. I found some that I like.

Okay, so after tinkering around with the car today, I noticed that the coolant overflow tank was near empty, whereas the tank was full 3wks ago. So I buy some new coolant, empty out the tank and refill it with the new stuff. I go out for a drive around town for about 45min and as I get home, I got to check the level, and the damn thing is well above the fill line and and bubbling.

I grab a towel and pop the top, and pull the top/tube and hot air is slowly spewing out of the tube. So I'm guessing that the (new) radiator thats in the car, pushed back all the coolant that was in it... I'm hoping that I only need to change the thermostat instead of the car soon needing a goddamn head gasket.

You should go for more of an aggressive wheel/tire combo if you consider anything VIP. leave those heavy, ugly Lexus dinner plates alone; offsets are weak and you'll need spacers.

Can't wait to see this when all is said and done--following closely. Maybe some extra incentive to take on my 2ES.

Yeah, I pretty much have mind set on the "Dinner Plates" or maybe the secret 17x8 wheels.
