Default Some pics of my 1st Gen

I'm still heavily in the mod process...waiting for my Trenz grille, rotors/pads, getting Wald coilovers in the near future..eventually a paint job and a set of those two tone custom Katzkin leathers...HID fogs someday too..lol..I know, I have a cheap grille insert kit from Ebay...My trenz is on the way!! I know the TV shot sucks, I'll take a better one tonight, same with my HIDs...

Comment on whatever, looking forward to getting some feedback/crit.

LoL, yea I figured most wouldn't like the big face dishes.....ahh well, can't please em all...They DO look much better in person though, or maybe I just love em that much....loll

Thanks anyways, you should see the comments I got on another forum I goto, that's like 90% asians....You can tell they're some rice rocket lovers, people saying "I never liked lexus, they seem girly" "Lexus makes OK cars"

What the hell are they smoking? Lexus a girl car? HAHAHHAH

lol, i remember when this guy driving a lime green del sol tried to tell me that my LS was a "girly car"

my response-
"girly enough to get me your mom buddy "

he shut up after that.

(yea its immature, but this was like 2 years ago when id first gotten both my car and my license, and he went to my school)

^Thanks Brand....yea, I really could give a **** what everyone else wants to do, it's my own little creation. I'm having a lot of fun fixing it up, and modifying it.

This week:
-Trenz Billet
-Rotors/pads
-Rear Axle Carrier bushings
-some custom decals
-Seat stickers (Like GRAND's)
-fixing the chrome pillars
-tranny drain & fill
-changing out differential

Damn busy week...ALL this around my daughter's 1st birthday, whewww.

Thanks everyone.

It's hard trying to be unique,,trust me I know. LOL!!! This is your car and your creation and it you like it then that is all that counts. Just keep us posted and like you said you cant please everyone. Here's my effort at uniqueness so far, still a work in progress.....

Ya, I always liked your's man...I'm getting a list of stuff together I need to buy and have painted, so I can do it all at once.

I'm getting some eyelids, those mirror turn signals, and a body kit (possibly). Once I have all of them, I'll take them to my body shop and have them painted/installed.

My wife just called, said my Trenz came in today! Woooooooohooooooooo, I'll post some pics of it on tommorrow, possibly.

I like it man but agree with eveyone on the rims. Those JDM headlights look better than i thought they would. How much do those set you back?

How easy was it to sell your headlights? I'd definitely be down to do that if you can make that much money back. Did you sell on eBay?

Yes, I sold them on ebay. I'm telling you, just about ANYTHING you actually SWAP...you can make back just as much, if not more than what you pay for the new stuff. The main reason is because the people ordering this stuff are accident victims that HAVE to buy these parts...

I sold my old grille on ebay, since I have a trenz, for MORE than the Trenz was...lol

I sold my old tails...for MORE than my new red/clear tails...

I sold my old bumpers....for MORE...

If you do it right, you can basically get paid to mod your car..that's what I've been doing.

As far as my headlights....I listed them twice on ebay and they were sold.Good luck with it, Suneet.
