I'm in the I don't care/either dates/wherever works for me. It's funny that you brought up the Brick House Tarven/Plano since that's where the North Texas Lexus get- together is on Wednesday nights. It's always every Wednesday nights around 900pmish:

Lots of room though.

How about a free Dr. Pepper drink on me for your birthday sir???

Whoa!!!!! OMG that's high. Let's talk offline. I might be able to help. Maybe your entire interior is bad??? Armrest and door handles too?

No its not that bad man. Drivers side has the rip, armrest has the elbow worn mark. Passenger seat is pristine. I'll connect with you over PM, don't want to hijack this thread.

I'm good with that...three minutes from my house!

Yeah, we haven't heard from Harold57...we need him too!

I sent Plano Bill a PM no response. Sean (Lexus!!!) should be in...he just moved here from MN and has a black/ecru beauty.

I'll PM harold.

Do you all want to bring some materials/goods to show off? Die casts? Books? Never Dull tailpipe polish class? Headlight scratch remover/cleaner? How about a 2006+ tail light DIY simul-cast? LOL Let's make our cars better!!!!

You all are talking about door dings....I have this amazing guy I use who is very reasonable I can ask him to meet us there. Very fast...great work and affordable. If you tell me how many panels and where I can get a quick quote. He's mobile. Also we can call our Detail Werkz guy that 76210guy and I used...they are amazing. Probably wouldn't have time for the full day deal, but perhaps a quickie for all???

We could meet at Park Place for car washes at first and take pics there? LOL

I'm excited!!!!!! I'll be more than happy to help anyone with DIY or small projects, scratches, scrapes or whatever I can do in short time. You saw my work on my key job...I can bring some stuff.

Hopefully I have time to install my Injen by then...been swamped at work!!!

Damn.. Both dates are bad for me. That sucks. The weekend of 4/23 & 5/14 is all I can do. Take pics for us. Maybe next time guys.

Two people are preferring the 7th over the 30th while a bunch of folks are either free for both or free for none. I'll look at it again this weekend but it's leaning toward the 7th.

If you have any preference, here's the time to say it.

I should be able to come on the 7th. The 8th would be even better (less traffic).

Just think, gas should be $5 by then! $100 fill-ups!

I'm in law school and have finals until the 6th. 7th is the only date possible for me.

When are the rest of ya'll supposed to receive your LuxLinks? I highly recommend Jason over at JPI in Garland for the install. He did a great job on mine. It'll be 4 years this Summer and I have not had a single issue ever with the remote top or remote autostart!

For those looking to DIY, he did an in-depth forum post with pictures that walk through the install. Do a search for the post.

As far as I know, I'm available either Saturday. Park & Preston is about a 45 minute drive from my house.

Yes, I've been very busy and haven't had much of a chance to get on the forum lately. Plus in the last few weeks, when I get on the forum it screws up my pc. So either a virus or something has gotten into the forum's server or something is messed up on my pc. However, it is doing it on both my home and work machines, so I suspect that it is related to the forum and not my pc.

Just out of curiosity can you tell us how much he charged you and what we could expect him to charge us if we went that route? Thanks.

We've waited long enough....

The SC430 DFW get-together will be held Saturday May 7th 4:00pm at the Brick House Tarvern/Plano, TX. Address for it is:

Brickhouse Tavern & Tap
4900 W Park Blvd
Plano, TX 75093
(972) 596-0916


It's on the southeast corner of Park and Preston. We'll park in the parking lot where the red X is and if for some reason it's full, we'll move to the blue X:



Hope to see everyone there
