Wow! Don't even know where to start. All that Dynamat is going to make a HUGE difference. The body kit is amazing, too!
Not a big fan of the tiger pattern, but the rest is awesome. Can't wait to see it all done!

Great job.

I'm not a fan of tiger stripes either.

We live in a democracy, one man one vote.

You're the man, you get the vote.

That's all the matters!

What's nice about this forum people are brutally honest. I thank you all for your input. Everyone on here has helped me and I'm a part of something bigger than I am by myself.
Everyone has there taste and when people see it in person not one person has said what you guys have said. Maybe they are scared of me or something but it's nice to hear all your replys. I've worked so hard on this project and I'm proud of it. Still in progress as well. Haven an issue with the top not coming down.
Need to put it down to put back side panels in. Not sure if anyone can explain how to get it down manually but if you can please advise.

Thanks everyone. My next post will be when all is complete. Lights etc....

I can certainly appreciate all of the work you are doing!
The owners manual should have the procedure to open and close the top manually.

Default Solved the issue..

One of the connectors was not connected.

At least keyed Lexus was awesome and just charged me 161.00....

Other people started at about 300 ...

Everything is going as planned again.
