Looks better tinted, the glass Lexus used in those days on their vehicles had a green hue to it. I did like it better with the badging/emblems though, this car is too classy for debadging imo. Looks like a clean job though.

These cars aren't very cheap to mod. Roughly $6k+ to properly turbo it... Let alone doing a gte swap.

And I plan to keep it looking pretty classy. Fighting the urge to put stickers on the back window :lawl:

Thanks Alex!

I don't mind it being auto. The stock manuals suck really badly in these cars and the autos are tanks. For now after this intake and piggyback I plan to do full exhaust from the motor back and probably do an adjustable cam gear, probably both sides. As far as suspension goes I'm not gonna slam it. Just a couple inch drop. Function and form type 2's with 14/10 spring rates. Do the usual sway bars and strut tower bar. Other little things.

I'd love to eventually turbo it for 400-450 but it's just so damn expensive.

If ONLY this was the CG's problem!

Congrats on the purchase.

Should be a welcome experience compared to the Accord.
