The actual build started when my factory NAV ecu crashed on me and i updated to a gen 4 unit






i started tearing down my car in early feb of 2009 as i had gathered up a fair amount of parts and i thought this would be a quick build....boy was i wrong.I broke a supra TT differential and I got hurt at work and was on light duty for several months in the middle of this and that put a dampener on this then so i started gathering up parts again. had the sub and everything designed/setup already and then decided to change subs after seeing a member on here with a white gs with 2 banging *** RE subs. i sold my old pioneer shallow mount and bought a RE AUDIO XXX 12" sub

out with the old









and in with the new











well since the rear interior was already out (i had cut the 12" pioneer shallow mount to fit)






i decided to start dynamatting my car and went WELL overboard on this, even removing the sunroof and ALL my interior except the dash to do this




























i was also trying to do SEVERAL projects during this time so everything was moving slowly.some went fine, some were disasters

so in the middle of this build i also bought my greddy exhaust, my TTE lip, my TTE Grill





yada yada. bought and sold my gen 1 S&S headers and my 18" G-spyders before even installing them.my greddy exhaust i got from a member on here.....i found out when getting it someone cut and extended the tips (Op I bought it from says it wasnt him but who knows) since they stick out to far and the welds looked awful i decided temporarily to paint the welds black and polish the cans up so when they were installed it wasnt really noticeable











i will soon cut them and shorten them after i mount and dyno these


https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...abricator.html




anyways in the middle of this build i also took some time (ie money) of to work on my chest piece......i got my 7th and 8th session of work done on my chest (each session is about 3-4 hours)

i have about 1-2 sessions left. still have to do color on the left side top and then color on the right side top

 

Right before i drop it off at the shop, i have a member from here (who im calling out) hook me up with Prestigious Society and they made me a custom override box for my Gen 4 NAV

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ification.html

so i finally get the car into the shop and i REALLY decide to step it up, changed and sold BOTH the amps i had and bought two major ORION amps....and sat down with my installer to get some ideas rolling around...well, we finally decided on everything and started working

While The Car Was In The Shop, I Finally Got A Few Things In Like My 320 Amp Iraggi Alternator. i drove up to La Vergne to see Dominique from Iraggi to install this alternator he built and a built while he was at it. i think the belt was smaller....and the #'s are K060876 or 6Pk2224

There Still Are A Few Things Im Working On....


Im gonna pull the wood around the amps and run one solid LED around the amp openings so they light up evenly, the alternator should be installed by the 9th, and im making a piece to go in the ashtray that will hold the Orion bass controller AND the Prestigious Society Remote....

keep in mind guys this is unfinished, im working on this one as we speak. so in these pics it still needs some more filler to smooth and fill the lines, more sanding,a final spray and some clearcoat but this gives you a general idea of what it will look like (the tape is still around the buttons so it def looks odd and all the wood grain is off until im done working on this)

 

the first one got destroyed but this is the 2nd reworked ashtray

 

nice progress!!!!

 

Looks great Brian.... well worth the wait I bet. I really like how you integrated it into the factory GPS. Slick
How does it sound?

 

wow nice bro is there any way i can just turn my nav into a tv tuner or have the dvd option?

 

Damn! That's a nice build

 

Great build!! Just reading the parts list made me happy. Good job

 

Looks awesome, Brian! Those Orions are sexy and I love what you did with the crossovers. The trunk blew my mind! When you get a second, PM me where you bought all your components. Thanks!

 

Do the truffle shuffle! Haha...

Interesting looking tattoo you have there, Brian.

If you don't mind me asking, roughly how much did everything cost?

 

looking real nice. One question though, why did they skimp on the fabric that they wrapped it in. All that work, and not even psuedo suede atleast? Glad this is finally coming to completion.

 

That is one big list, but it looks good

 

Great build. I don't know how you waited so long. I hate to have parts laying around and not install them.

 

damn the whole set up and car look dope, great job
