Newbie Altezza Owner W/question (pictures)

[MarcInJapan]

Here is my 2002 Altezza. I am station in Japan.

When I bought the car, the previous owner tried to clean the dash with a industrial cleaner taking off the clear coat of the top of the dash (center) and some of the plastic pieces that come down over the sides of the radio/ac/etc.

Does anyone know where I can purchase either some of these dash pieces or even better, a dash mat?

Thanks!

mmm try yahoobid.co.jp there are sometimes dashboards for sale, otherwise take it to a dashboard repairer and get them to paint the dashboard for you. also for a tip take photos of the car on concrete next time not on grass.

Okinawa hey...

they're a nice cruisy car... hope you enjoy it.

Did you put the Lexus badges on??

The Altezza ones are much better imo.

The Lexus badges were on the car. They "stand out" here. If I was in the United States, I would put the "Altezza" badges on them.

Thanks for the advice. I will try that website and see if I can find a dashmat cover there.

Not to ruffle any feathers here as I like all cars, but this is my 500HP cobra that I had to put into storage when I got the assignment to Japan.

mmm how long you gonna keep it for (or have you kept it for) in japan if over a year you can take it back with you to australia. they are very rare in australia so prices for them are quite high.

Not going to Australia. I will be retiring in the Philippines after this assignment. Taking my cobra out there to race. Don't get me wrong, I love the ride of the Lexus, but I like the HP of my cobra. I will have the car for a couple of more years. And its one of the nicest rides I have ever owned as far as the "ride" goes.
