just a couple of photos while bored after cleaning the car.. sorry for bad iphone quality..

Just installed the Auto Closing Mirrors

(Special thankyou goes out to michael "Ashpoint" for speedy delivery and a point in the right direction over the phone before i started.. many thanks!)

worked perfectly first time, and for those who may not know but they simply retract the mirrors upon locking the car and then on unlock return to normal position..

all you need to do is take the door panel off and splice a few wires depending on the year/ place of manufactor of your car and off you go..

very happy with the purchase and would reccommend it to everyone if you had been considering it..

Damn I want that hand brake... hate the stupid foot brake :(

lol yeh not a fan of the old foot brake.. my old mans a5 sportback (audi) has just a button you press for the handbrake and you can it it compress lock on..

nice looks good!!

did an awsome job

thanks mate yeh i was pretty happy with how it turned out.. thanks for the feedback!

burl woodgrain vinyl arrived today and made a start on it, here are some progress photos.. not a DIY but thought its always good to see the steps taken even if it is only a vinyl application. and my same problem i had with my vinyl eyelids is i can never seem to completly get rid of all the bubbles anyway here are the photos.. feedback welcomed:)

EDIT decided to do the driver and passanger door trims tonight aswel..

(over exposed with the iphone flash)

Driving through the city this morning and spotted a new sign put up at a construction site.. Looks like adelaides finally coming up in the world lol

I don't know about nsw but I rang Lexus of adelaide who put me through to toyota spare parts who had a huge range of in stock parts which gave me what I needed on the spot so I'm sure spare parts would have what you need...

how much are you spending

on the H/R?

809.09 installed but thats in a quote along with the tryes n rims aswel so i dont know wether they balanced out the total on different items but yeh thats wat iv got on my quote..

hey sorry to revive the thread but to save starting a new topic... anyways so went and got myself a quote today and wanted opinion mainly on the lowering side of things (H R suspension) and choice of rubber..

thanks guys!

I know this is not for a Manual (MT??) but first time I had seen for a right hand drive

yeh i hadnt found any kits like this, ive msgd him asking if he can do one for a MT so if he does uv done well haha

thanks ian

3m you can just rip it off later on

installing the 3M cover on the centre console you need to take apart the centre trims

think of it as just a sticker that you put on a surface and peel it off later

just ordered the burl wood grain 3m di noc vinyl so in a week or so ill post some pics to show how it went..

buying a sheet will be the best bet

or you might be able to find a set in the US

MT 250's never came out in sports luxury trim

so it would impossible as a factory item

your best bet is to get a 3m cover on it

on a side note how about CF?

yeh thats what i figured.. ahk well 3m it is..

ive been looking at the CF but to me it lowers the luxury look i spose i dunno.. i do like the look but unsure if its for me..

whats the go with removal of 3m do u just re heat it and peal it off if i didnt like the woodgrain/CF whichever i go with? and on a different topic have you had any experience or know of any of the inbuilt tv/dvd headrests? i was looking at this

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-third-generation/502668-vizualogic-dvd-headrest-installation-full-writeup.html

just before and seems simple enough for me (no auto or elec background)

hey ive had a quick look through the search on the forums and didnt really find anything (for MT anyway) but was wondering if anyone had seen dash kits for a woodgrain for MT or do i just have to buy sheets of 3M vinyl and cut the excess off and whatnot.. and also if anyone had seen what the woodgrain vinyl looks like in person on the interior and if its worth it at all (not if it will look over tacky)

i like the eyelids, gonna look into them

and @jty love the car, looks really clean!

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/380132016952?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

eyelids arrived today and didnt manage to f#$k it up like last time.. heres some photos..

oh niiice! i'm thinking about getting those aswell! i'll decide after i see some pics :)

Soo i got the eyelids.. Easy as to install unless your a perfectionist and try to correct it after the heat gun has setthe glue off and you tear the vinyl :( haha so another set ordered.. Round 2 lol

thanks, yeh i'll post up pics after i get back and its done

lucky we got the reverse camera :D *BLEEP* parking with 5% tints at night with no camera, haha

also i was meaning to get tints done for nearly a year now, but i just kept pushing it back and back, now its def's happening, haha

one of the best, cheap and simplest mods, but it makes the car look so good :D

Haha yeh its a windows down while reversing job lol.. Im looking into the fly audio system that A few people have been talking about.. But your right it makes it look that much better just getting the funds back together for lowering and wheels.. I ordered those gloss black eyelid vinyls for the "angry" headlights so ill put some photos up once their on but no huge changes anytime soon

haha yeh defects damn...

oh well, got my car booked for tints as soon as i get back, wooot

15% rear 20% front

Ahh good stuff bro let us know how it goes,.

^ how much % tint is that?

im interested in getting 20% all round on mine

or maybe 10% rear 20% front

Thats 5% on all of the windows and then i actually got the front widscreen tinted 35% to block out all the light coming in so u cannot see in from any angle.. Makes it alot cooler inside aswel but hard to see out the back at night..

Thats Illegal and instant defect in NSW.

Yeh its the same in sa aswel.. But i like it so no one can see in.. Plus if i get it defected ill take it off and get it passed then put it back on.. Not an issue for me..

Haha. If you clear a defect and re do it again in NSW your car gets impounded.

Off topic pity i dnt have NSW on my visits list netime soon the car meet photos look good.. Wouldve been good to come along

Haha nah in SA they would rather the money they keep getting from you each time you re offend.. But yeh to my knowledge you clear the defect pay the amount and thats it if u put it back on u run the risk of getting caught again and you pay for it again..

to be honest i have never stuck my head under there haha.

Do you know if your car was in an accident?

Haha yeh to be honest it didnt even cross my mind the car was owned by an older couple since new and it was in such good condition i never thought to ask.. But yeh i might hit up lexus of adelaide see what they say..

Hey guys not sure if anyone has come across this but iv just noticed the right side of my boot is about 6 or so mm higher than the body yet the left side is flush.. It isnt causing any issues with leakage into the boot but i can notice it and was wondering if there were any adjustments in the arms or anything before i started pulling the boot apart
