Nicely done. Looks very wet.

[howareb]

Did you use a rotary, UDM or PC?

[Beefhouse]

Is there even a dipstick for the oil under that hood?

[.VorteX.]

Awesome work man.

[Stanger'66]

Is there even a dipstick for the oil under that hood?

LOL. The covers give it a clean look but I can just imagine how much heat they hold in as well. The car looks GREAT!

All three.... but I used a UDM for this one. :up



Although, I did you my rotary on a couple of spots I had to sand with 2500.

[Old Pirate]

Looking great, and love that color on the Lexus!........:2thumbs:

[nmxdaven]

Man those is250`s look good. Quite a few people around here have them. They just look so sleek and refined. Great job!!

[countrysquire]

Got in a tub of Pinnacle Sig Series 2 today from Autogeek, and decided to try it over Ultima. Overall I am very, very impressed....
