Why don't you swap lens and do a quad setup for your GX?

Thanks, it was the first project on mind which took a month. The clear lens swap is a huge difference from the stock. It made a big difference for night driving vs stock lens. Once I hooked up my FX-Rs, I was blown away.

Finished college, sold the GX for a 50+ mpg Prius IV third Gen. I was getting 12.5 mpg on the GX and making no $$ out of school. Had that enlightened experience. However I miss the GX terribly but love the new tech in the Prius and it keeps me interested. Who knows maybe a retrofit for the Prius headlights at some point.
What brand and model for the BBK? Where did you purchase?

Followed suit with Gidovs painting the air dam strip. Not as good looking as his because my color is light. His is black and it really shows good. I will post a pic later. hard work though in doing the masking. But well worth it. As mentioned it upgrades the look like new cars.

As I bought my car used at 105miles (170kms) the previous owner was taking the truck to an independant shop. I called the shop to see what kind of fluid was used etc but he didnt seem to remember and the rotors were already warped after driving the car for a month even though they were apparently just changed.
So over the weekend I did the following.
- changed the engine oil and filer
- changed the tranmission fluid
- changed the faulty oil cooler pip
- changed the faulty VVTI oil line
- replaced the serp belt
- replaced my front rotors
Next up
- DIY headlights, mine are fogged and forming a bit of yellow on them
- new lower control arms as they look like they are past their due date
- new AC compressor as the cluch is squeeking on the damn thing. Sewell lexus $290 for new clutch or $350 for a brand new OEM Denso unit from rockauto? Its really a brainless question lol

I bought a little friend for our RX...
Since the RX never breaks, I figured I could have something that requires a little, ok, A LOT, more attention. That, and I could not find a silver IS300 within a reasonable driving distance for a reasonable price.
Words cannot express how inferior the build quality of that Audi interior is when compared to the RX. Hell, it's inferior to the 1997 Bonneville it replaced. Oh well, the price was right and the fun factor has to count for something. I just hope the fun makes up for the multitude of warning lights that go on and off in the dash, the worn off buttons, and all the broken plastic knick-knacks.
