I was never 100% about the whole selling thing- it was more a last ditch attempt to convince myself that I didn't need an engine swap
(I wouldn't be able to if I didn't own the car! lol).

I have now grown too attached to this car and spent far too much time effort and money on it.Therefore I will keep this car as a weekend toy forever.
I am undecided where to end on the modifications with this car
- I'm sure there is plenty more stuff that I can buy for it that I don't know about yet, lol.
Everyone else seems to be going for a full Alcantara re-trims at the moment.I don't like being like everyone else, lol.
I will trial a half re-trim and if it suits it then brilliant, and if not then I can re-assess it from there
Peter has been slaving away on the Lexus, stripping it all apart and trying to sort out all of the wiring so that he knows what goes where for when he wires it into EOR

The mods are based on some of the ideas I implemented in the prototype I made, which resides in my car and looks crap in comparison to this new unit![]()
It uses a completely different backlight design, which now gives a perfectly even light spread across the entire area and saves a significant amount of fabrication time.
In addition it also means a big increase in the choice of colour combinations which can be created
A few pics for the photo whore himself![]()

I've intentionally not taken a night photo of it, as I want you to see it first in the flesh.You're the first one to have one of these and I think you'll be pretty pleased with what you see when you pick the car up.

Here's a daytime shot though, as a teaser
