i am with u, let you know when I have time drop you email.




I am in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Off Rt.4. I was at the one in Baltimore. Hoping next one will be in DC.




As for the Grill, I trying out a few things. I just got the car out of the body shop having the front bumper painted. I kinda like the grill like that, opinions on the street is running 50-50, but here in CL I see most of you is not feeling it. It is being considered. TRD keeps the stop light racers at bay. There aren't too many ricer in my area mostly Mercedes, Bimmers and Caddy's, 300c and Magnums. Keeps them at bay too. LOL. I

man, im glad you dropped that post about not having the s/s installed yet. i have the l tuned s/s installed and im getting axis 20s..i misread your siggy and thought they were already installed and got pissed when i thought mine would stilll look lthat jacked even after wheels...

Hey Nate, I dont know how I missed this, but the car looks great (much better than those camera phone pics you sent me!)

I knew when you took my keys to start my car at Lexfest that you were going to be doing some modding (whether the wife likes it or not!! lol)

That black cherry stands right up there with Spectra Blue and Cinnarbar as my all time favorite GS colors! Just so damn deeep, and the lusterous wheels are the perfect compliment.

I still think you should make that shop get you the "fat" tire setup as we discussed but the lowering will help.

More pics after the drop and CLEAN YOUR CAMERA LENSE!!!

Thanks Derrick, She really was all for it after she got what she wanted. We made a nice profit on my old house and purchased a new one. So she got to spend 20k for hardwood floors, granite countertops and new furniture for the new home. So my little modding can't come close to her home modding. I want to keep in clean and simple. I am trying to decide the L-tuned springs with or without the L-tuned shocks. Right now the car is parked and won't be driven for awhile. Oh and picked up the locks your recommended. Didn't realize there were so many cheap brands out there.

Want to thank everyone for your kudos and advise. I have a few things that need to be done, ie, Grill painted and lowering. Hopefully soon on the grill.

I really don't know what brand it is. I bought it from a mechanic at a Lexus dealership for $100. He said it was a TRD but I don't think so. It looked great on his car and he hooked me up. Taking it this weekend to the paint shop. Really wanted a TTE, but maybe later. Really like this one.
