Re: Project Lex
Small update. Used some Night Shades and Clear on the front side markers to tint them a little bit. Also removed the cross webbing in the 'mouth' of the front bumper. Removed the Lexus logo. Attached the Wise front lip with some SS button head bolts.
Also inspired by Floppy's post, got some Meguiars Headlight Restore. Practiced on the high beams. Not too shabby I'd say.

Re: Project Lex
So a little more update on this project. Since Tyler was born, free time isn't really what it used to be. So I was having trouble getting it all done done. So my choices were to either let it sit another year, or ask for help. Well, DB Performance said they'd help Hoping to hit the dyno here next week! Big thanks to the guys at DB for getting a lot of this done for me, great work!
Basic rundown of what is new for this year:
- Mini wire-tuck
- FFIM installed (and everything that goes with that)
- Mini lawn battery installed
- IAT sensor installed
- Zinc/slotted front rotors and ceramic pads
- Exhaust tweaked to fit around 350z trans bracket. Also added Vibrant resonator and Vibrant muffler to keep my old man ears at peace.
- Recirc WG back into exhaust
- IS300 ignition
- Billet cover over old distributor cap
- Able to run a real intake now
- FIC 2150's
That's basically it under the hood. Once it's done on the dyno it'll head to the body shop. Body will be getting the following
- Wise style front lip (already installed).
- 97 OEM sideskirts
- Rideskinz fujin style rear lip
- Accord Spoiler
- Paint
So hoping by mid/end of May it will be ready to rock! Here's a couple teasers Jason @ DB sent me.
Exhaust tweaked around trans mount, Vibrant resonator installed
Vibrant rear muffler
Engine bay buttoned up

Not at first, but as long as everything seems fine at lower boost then I'll start slowly turning it up throughout the summer.

Re: Project Lex
Are you going to run sans lights? Or is that just for tuning?
I like the front lip and side skirts. And the engine bay looks nice.

Re: Project Lex
Yeah, that lip really helps out the aggressiveness of the car but still looks clean.

Leaving lights removed until post-paint.
