OHH also after i get the main things done to pass emmisions, im thinkn for the future, replacing the passenger window motor, its out. after that, getting 20% tint all the way around. no windshield tint this time ha. had it on my old car. than a nice double din, replacing all stock speakers and sub. WHITE hid's not no blue stuff. and now for the exhaust, thinkn of just removing the mufflers...i kinda like the stock exhaust tips. just wish they were a lil bigger. might get lil bigger ones. and idk about the resonator. its all in time, got to save more money now.

the car should not have failed emissions even if it is in need fo a tune up or not.

Also those plugs on the link u posted are platimun , im quite sure Lexus recommends using iridium only.

The car is very nice , great buy at $3500.
