Default New Goodies!

within the past week, i have gotten a new starter, black Lexus floormats, a negative battery cable, and i painted my tails. I used this paint here:

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHF97&P=7

i havent gone over with clearcoat yet, havent had the time, and it looks fine without it. the right tail looks darker due to lighting. i taped off the bottom part and only painted the amber. it turned out really good IMO.

comments and criticism are welcome! click the pictures to view them bigger.

Lookin good. IMO the black mats stick out too much. It would look better if some of the other pieces were black.

im planning on getting a black IS steering wheel and painting the column black. however thats whenever the funds allow. also im probably going to paint that center piece black like IronCobra did a few weeks ago, so it should be a bit better after that.

How much you pay for the starter? You install it yourself, or have Lexus do it? My car might need a starter, the starter chugs in the morning before it starts.

BTW, nice work on the lights! Looks good. Why not the tan floormats? Black seems to clash a little
