would you mind letting me know the brand/model of led lights you installed ?

Yea, here's the place I bought mine off of. I chose the whole LED kit at the bottom of the page. Suuuper easy to install as well.

I actually had to call ASpec and request these, and they sent me a PayPal Invoice.

No vids of the exhaust installed yet though. I went to a local exhaust shop around me and they wanted $1,300 for the whole install! So I'm holding off on that, and I'm going to install the HVAC unit this Monday & Tuesday when I'm off. BTW how hard is it to remove the dash and install the unit??

This is the only vid I have at this moment of my car.

what u need to do is go to azmetals, get about 8 ft of ss material in the size you want, buy v bands and a 90 degree u bend in stainless, take all that to dahn automotive and tell them u want them to weld u up an exhaust out of that. that will save u money, all u pay is labor for the welding instead of u using a marked up in price material in their shop

Good idea, I'll have to hit up AZMetals and ask them for a quote.

Sounds good

As for removing the dash, its really not hard to do, just time consuming.
Here is the DIY (start at post #2):

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-56k-nono.html

To get the HVAC unit in/out of there, your going to have to just about remove all the body harness, and use a bit of massaging to get the old unit out, and the new one it. I got lucky on removal cause most of my stock wires behind the dash came out that same day, but the ones that were left, I just pulled them and tied them off on the dash bar.

You could also see if some guys at Mesa Community could do it for you. I have a buddy in my APT 181 class that welds and is bracing my manifold next month. They have a good welding program

Does the W58 work the same way as the R154 on the sensor? I used the red and yellow or the red and black wire for the signal to the cluster. It is in the thread in my signature, if the same. I may be completely off tho.

Hey guys just wanted to share I did my first drift event this past Friday at our local track Firebird Raceway



And here is some crappy iPhone videos, I had some GoPro vids, but I had it set up wrong and I accidentally overwrote the vids from last nights meet, so I'm pretty upset about that. Anyways here are some vids.
