hmm little bit out of my price range.
hopefully i can find a clean stock one soon. if anything, im just going to pick up a set of rims and maybe koni/gc set up.

but an EK would be ideal. i like EK interior minus the seats

once i get a daily for work, the lexus will be as low as it used to be. i raised the rear almost 2 inches, and about an inch in the front

It is pricey,but IMO,its well worth it. Everything on this car is mint,not one rust spot.
Car looks and runs like its brand new.
That is one hell of a pic bro. Wish Nevada had nice walls around for shoots.

we took a few near downtown and 2nd street, but im not sure how they came out. i was trying to get a few in front of city hall, but to much traffic and the fact it was a no stopping anytime zone, was going to be hard to get my car, and her set up for pictures.

I just took a bunch of pictures of my oil filter relocation and cooler for someone on HT who was looking fo ideas.so i thought I would copy the post here
I took some pictures of my filter relocation and oil cooler setup, maby this will give you some ideas, pardon the wires everywhere, i'm not done with the car yet, I'm running a forced air oil cooler setup, blower is under the bumper as is the blower intake, it ducts air into a plenum for the cooler, it's controlled by a temp switch in one of the fittings and a Miloden oil thermostat

bosch blower under bumper

air intake

cooler






underside and adapter plate, you can see why i had clearance problems

I couldn't duct air directly into the oil cooler, so i pull cool air from under the bumper and force it through the cooler that way, it's a got a temp controlled switch, when the oil thermostat lets oil flow through the cooler the blower comes on, it's a bosch brand blower, it's almost like a brake blower, small but moves a ton of air
