I installed some clear marker lights, and took the first daytime pics since I installed my Tein Flex coilovers. Enjoy!

Not a fan of the wheels, but your paint/stance is A++!

Was there much modification to get them to fit?

Thanks. I would go lower, but I really like driving the car. Its right at that point right now, where its JUST drivable with no problems. I live in Louisiana, and we have some of the worst roads in the country.

I hit a dip in the interstate, hit and threw sparks behind me. And, I scrub often, pulling in parking lots.

Just had to cut out all the inner lips on the fenders, front and rear. And, had to remove the front linings, and move the harness. Im also having to run a little narrower tire to make it work.

The rear's about to get spacers, though, to get it just right.

Oh, my bad.

Chopped some off the end,to make it the right length. Then, shaped it with a cylinder shaped bit, to get the corner just right. Then, cleaned it up and sealed the end with some clear silicone.

I only have one screw holding them in, though. Theyre fine, so far, but I might fix another screw on each one.


-unreal, where did you get that production number? How many five speeds were there in 1992? I know they came standard with a manual, and the auto. was an option.

Thanks.

I got my numbers from an old link to the lexus website. It was a series of PDFs that were basically the info. brochure.

I uploaded it for you here:

For the full production run.

To answer your question though, 1601 made. Cant get the division by color though...
