Default First Post here's my Lexus

First i want to thank HANN@Luxurymods.com for hooking me up with these rain guards. My first upgrade to the car since it became in my possession. My mom had the car that was bought for my dad. But my mom liked it so much she kept it. Well To make a long story sort. It's a hand me down. Very nice commuter. I love this car to death. While my Supra is down this is what i drive the most. My Supra is now my weekend car. The car is a 1994 so i was recently told. It's the 400 model with all the trimming or i think. My plans for the next month is to convert the whole suspension and some driveline parts form the Supra TT. I want to make the suspension and whatever else i can, to be for a Supra TT. Iono just one of those stupid things people do for the names. But as of now minus the Rain Guards thats how i got her. OH and the rims on the rear are just temporary untill my new set come in. I have purchased a set of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 in 35 offset SportMax 006. Got them for a good deal. The tires are Yokohama Advan Es100 265/35zr18 and 245/40zr18. But i really want to see if i can push a 275 for the rear. Well on to the pictures. Hope you like my ride. She's a work in progess. You can see in the first picture why my mom gave me the LEXUS... She took over my older bro's E55 AMG.

well i had the TE-37 look-a-likes but they keep cracking and leaking so i had to change them where i work on the spot. Yah my summer plans for this car is going to be alot of junk. like built 4.9L supercharged. blah blah blah...Super built automatic. Auto Couture 97+lip kit... Full 97+ cosmetic conversion. Dual exhaust repaint. you know the good stuff. My Supra will break the chain of not running during summer. ANY info on this tundra block swap thing would be great. Thanks for the warm welcomes

Couple of things I'd suggest:

Your tint is beginning to turn purple, you should get them redone. You should also get some wheel well liners, having none definitely does not compliment your rims.

Edit:
You're missing some door trims as well.
