Re: Project Lex

So starting to get the misc stuff buttoned up.

I got the rear seats back installed.

Got my new CanBus gauge connected and functioning, I think its going to be perfect for me! Was trying to figure out a nice clean spot to mount it. Another SC guy made a drawing of a gauge holder that would go under a single din stereo. I really like it, so despite really liking my dual din receiver, I decided to ditch it and bought a new single din stereo. So I installed that. And none other than Mr. Sean DoughtCom will be 3D printing the new gauge mount for me.

I also ordered 2 AEM 12 position switches. They will be wired into Infinity and used for adjusting boost, and traction control, from inside the car. Those are included in that 3D gauge cluster and will be mounted on either side of the CanBus gauge.

Decided to try out my Basslink again since its so much simpler than my separate sub\amp setup. I'm not sure if this head unit is better or what, but the Basslink sounds phenomenal now. So Ill be keeping that installed now. Its a Lexus, so gotta have dem beats! Also, it might sound corney, but I had my gauge cluster and HVAC recently redone by Tanin, and chose a hyper white / red accent color scheme that i really like. This receiver has two lighting zones that you can customized. So i got the screens white matched pretty close to the others. And did red accents\buttons. So it matches the rest of the lighting very well, and I'm probably more excited about it then I should be lol. Even the CanBus white matches pretty closely too, ErMaGerd!!!

Got a lot of the dust off the car, cleaned the engine bay and got all the little accessory pieces installed in the engine again.

So car is really starting to come together. I'm still working on getting more logs for Vlad when the roads aren't terrible and full of salt. And I have a small tick list of things I still need to get done as well. But the way it's looking right now is the car will be ready for spring. Much Excite!
