Old seat covers have been removed and shipped to Interior Innovations. They are giving me a discount since im helping them add a new application to their catalog. Cant wait to get the new covers! No idea what turnaround time will be but i dont care because i can still rock the corbeau's until then.
We finalized the rear bracket design and thankfully lexus kept things standardized. So the same brackets work for both sides (just have to bend them in reverse). Next is the front brackets which should be done tomorrow and they are rly simple so i doubt there will be any issues there.
I also got the front and rear speakers installed. The old rear setup was very odd. I did a bunch of online reading that basically said u can fit a 6.5 in the stock holes, just use some larger washers since the holes dont line up exactly right. So i did just that. I also lined the bottom edge of the speaker in foam so its not just resting on metal. It may not look it but they are fastened down very tight and dont budge. The fronts are in with the door adapters, and i think these tweeters will fit fine in the factory location. The tweeter amp i just mounted right sbove the speaker.
Jeremy helped me with some settings on my head unit. And holy cow this sounds incredible now with the new speakers amd settings, basslink is doing great. So I'm super thrilled with it all !
I also ordered up a bunch of SEM for the interior coloring portion of this project. Should be here Thursday. I also ordered up some supposide clean black carpet. I started removing the interior. All the rear is out and im going to SEM that first and check my results on the rears first before moving onto the front.
Hoping in say 2 weeks or so i have the interior all done mi us waiting on the seat covers! Side note is seat covers will also come with an armrest cover and door oanel inserts. So i might be able to add a touch of more tan with those if i want
