Let the modding begin, I've got a black is300 steering wheel, wise replica front lip, blitz nur spec dual exhaust, eibach springs, and TSW Valencia rims 18x9.5 with 245/40/18 up front & 295/35/18 in the rear. Post pics as soon it all installed.

Friday I had the chance to work on John SC. I could not believe the condition the car is in. Factory fresh would be a perfect description. John stopped by my work to get a few parts installed and checked out. I installed Eibach springs up front. We couldn't do the front because his rear tires are a little on the thick side. I didn't have my fender roller in my box so it's stock springs in the rear. I also installed an IS300 steering wheel, which I kid you not, that factory black steering wheel was in better condition. It looks batter none the less. Here are the pictures that I know you guys want to see.







John, it was a pleasure meeting you and the Lexus you sought after for so long. It's amazing that a car that is 17 years old can be so meticulously maintained and clean. I am beyond envious of you.

Wow. Awesome job so far. Those wheels and tires look beautiful. Same can be said about the steering wheel. Well done. Keep it clean.

Saw this beauty in person tonight at our bi-monthly meet . I have to say for a 95, it's in way better shape than my '99 400. Paint, headlight/seat condition etc. The black interior is also a bonus. I look forward to seeing what you have in store.

On a side note, i'm surprised to see it still has the factory under engine splash guard.
