Default Random pics...

EDIT: I forgot to add this one pic! I also installed the 10th Anniversary Aristo sills, courtesy of Johnee78!



TLW asked to see what my dash looks like with all the lights off:



BLUELEX asked a while back what my suede headliner looks like:



Here's another pic of the stitching of the suede headliner around the dome light. Check out the new white LED moodlights....



HAMEED asked what my Aurum Sanctus ribbon tweeters look like:



And, here's the recently completed trunk audio setup:



Ahhh, home at last, reconciliated with all of its siblings....

Nice pics. Still love the car and the house.

The interior pic you have on your car site is hot as well.

I give you an A+ for the dash

I give you an A+ for the headliner

I give you an A+++++ for the trunk

but I only give you a B- for the garage. It really should be a little bigger than that....lets work on that ok?

There's a 2004 Toyota harrier (Lexus RX330), a 2005 Toyota Innova (Indonesian designed and made Toyota MPV), a 2002 Civic vi (EP2 4-dr hatchback), my Aristo, the 2000 BMW E39 528i (with the full M5 makeover), a 2000 Toyota Kijang (an older model of the Innova).

By the way, can you believe that Toyota has sold over 1,000,000 units of the "Kijang" and now the "Innova" in Indonesia alone since 1977? We have now become the sole manufacturer for this toyota MPV and now is exporting them to Asia, Latin America and South Africa! I am so proud of this feat. At least we are moving forward as an exporting country.

My 5 series used to have hamann coilovers, hamann exhaust, hamann gtr bodykit and 20" Hamann PG3 wheels. Then someone backed into that car, cracked the front bumper in half and I ended up getting the full M5 treatment for it.

The suspension and audio has been returned to stock. But I kept the M5 stuff (front bumper and mirrors and interior aluminium panels), as well as the Ac Schnitzer pedals and e-brake handle. I also upgraded to the 2001+ angeleyes headlights. But apart from that, my E39 is completely stock.

Here you go. 2000 cc vvt-i engine and 100% Indonesian made! 1,000,000 cars produced/sold and counting!!!!!!! (btw, in America, this same exact mpv would have probably cost you guys less than $9,000 on the road!)
