Great job man. glad to see the Lexus back on track without mess up doors, I like the way you placed the Fog lights inside the grill pretty slick, I would copy that, but off course after I place my coilovers

Sure, it's cosmetic, but it feels so nice again to drive the car! Love it now. LOL feel free to copy the lights right now! Heck, I did many light mods to my Corolla before ever lowering it lol. But those "fog lights" were $672, so good luck copying them

I thought I was done modding for the year, but nope. Moved onto the interior! Got my steering wheel wrapped in new grippy leather with blue stitching Removed old steering wheel New VS Old (you can see the steering wheel removal tool still attached to the old one) I ended up swapping the buttons and wiring because I thought that mine was in better shape
Installed
Looks and FEELs great! Then I got a new e-brake boot to match (same leather and stitching) Really easy to install. Now everything matches! Next, I changed the LEDs in the dome and map lights to some cheap ones from Ebay, I got these so that they would look better than tiny boards I had floating in there before. Map light is fully illuminated now [/url
Ended up not being able to fit 2 of them in the dome light, oh well.
Got me a complete dashboard from a 2001 for super cheap. This one has the two tone with the dark gray accents, and this dash doesn't have a soft sticky material all over it (my current dash looks like garbage now). Gonna stock this up and install it next year with a custom zebra wood dash kit to match. Something random..... similar to how I rewired the high beam HIDs, I simplified the fog light HID wiring by eliminating the socket adapter. Fogs definitely warm up faster now. Washed the car some time ago, looking good Next, got some expensive reverse lights from V-LEDs (the 1000 lumen kind in 5000k) and put them in. Hella bright, and I can finally see when reversing lol Then I replaced my license plate lights.... removed the built-in LEDs and put the stock housings back with some small Philips #194 bulbs, because the other ones were just embarrassingly bright lol. Before: Now (dimmer, and slightly less blue) Then I immediately put the built-in LED housings back and made them green for Christmas lol Whew, all caught up!!

I got it done here www.dctms.com/It's an OEM wheel with the original material replaced with new leather. They send you the new wheel, and you ship the old one back.

OK I'm pretty behind on this (again) so I'll catch up right now. Christmas came and went I finally ordered my first set of winter wheels and tires. Wheels are XXR527 in Chromium Black, 18", 8.75" wide. 35mm offset front, 20mm offset back. Tires are Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D in 225/40-18. Fitment is almost as flush as the summer setup, close enough for winter lol Got a real carbon-fiber cover for the glove box, I'll install it after I swap the dash
Got some goodies from V-LEDs. Top is the new reverse license plate frame 5000k LED, the bottom is some LEDs for the high beams.
Installed the license plate frame.
Had to drill a hole in exactly the right place:
Grommet and wires installed:
LED mounted in place on the license plate (I did not use the magnetic cover): Looking up under the trunk lid, the green dots highlight where the wire runs: The wires go to the reverse light signal and ground. Lit up... it's really bright, but kinda blue. It also dims the other lights, it's so powerful lol. Finally, the reverse camera is not grainy at night... and I have a pretty good anti-tailgater light lol
not much, but now we're caught up

Beautiful weather today! Filled up the car with 2 flat cartloads of bushes from HomeDepot I still don't know how I managed to fit all of this in there in one trip lol After stocking up the huge mess inside, I changed the wheels from winters to summer. These were great, but the softer material just doesn't have the extreme traction I need when it's warmer. Washed the car with the summers back on. The body is in terrible shape after the winter lol, I've got my work cut out for me
