i will do that

and yes i do know that its not a honda
but its not a lexus either, its a toyota with an amercanized label on it and more expensive interior.

so you're saying you won't buy it unless its name brand?
most of the time all you're paying for is the name, you do get quality but its too expensive most of the time
i learned everything from my Sempai's back in japan. They're all mechanics and you know what custom work can be classified as cheap knockoffs because there isnt a BIG name behind them.

Not sayin all knowckoffs are good, but u just gotta watch out for a good deal
and ebay has plenty of those.

i know plenty that dont have honda's and have high end cars buyin on ebay, if you don't have good eye to spot a good deal, then that's on you
but do as you will, if you wanna spend more money that's on you
but i will give you propz for buyin the lexus by yourself at the age of 17


so what's your plan for yours?
full VIP
i can see why you wanna get the good stuff
mine on the other hand is drifting and so that's y cost effective parts are better in my dept.

good luck with your build and hope to see it soon

i realize i did get a lil harsh, its just not my style, so i am sorry. i am a very name brand time on person. doubt i will be able to do vip with this Lexus but instead do a more clean sports design. i have a list of plans with more than i want to type but we can talk later on a separate thread that i will start soon.

i'll subscribe to that thread
and i do go both ways (no not with men and women)
but if you need any help name brand or knockoffs
i'll help you out to the best of my abilities

oh yeah...you knoe the best way to hide the knockoff headers?
buy a heat shield, i'm waiting on FIG to finish his design so i get cost effective
upgrade for headers by buying the ebay but they wo'nt see it cuz of the functional heat shield =)
