@ Doc - Which site would you recommend for Teins or Tanabes? The Tanabe exhaust is good value for money!

I have some discounted deals with some vendors in US, you check any site and let me know I might be able to get some good discount

Alright! I have redone my list now. I have decided to get the following:-

Sways and Struts - JUN TW seems to have a good one for the right price. Either that or F Sport.
Coilovers - Tein Comfort Sport with the Electronic Damper control
Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust
F Sport Knob

F Sport Mats

This is probably going to break the bank. But it is time I did something proper to the car. Made her felt special.

@ Doc - Any site which would get me these at a decent price is what I am looking for. I was going to get them from Sewell Lexus but they don't have the Tein or Tanabe. I tried Lextuners but they dont have international shipping. Any help is appreciated.

on a side note most of the international orders will set u back quite a bit in cash almost as much as the product. use aramex shop and ship account to save some cash. But always check the price for both in case one is cheaper than the other.

eh? The shipping costs are almost the same as the product cost in most cases. What is Aramex shop and ship?

You have much to learn little grasshopper...lol sorry i always wanted to say that

http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/

Long story short its a mailbox in the US and UK u get from aramex. You can use these address to for the suppliers in the US/UK and then once it comes there aramex will ship it to you @ the rate of 35 AED per half kg. Subject to total volume. There is an inital fee of 200 when u sign up. Also normall it takes 10 days to arrive here based on the flights from the US/UK which are around 2 a week.

I got myself registered. But I am paranoid and I am just thinking of all the hassles of getting the supplier to deliver it to Aramex and then they getting it over here. what if something goes wrong with the supplier while giving it to Aramex? or while Aramex is getting it here. Blah blah blah. I got to find all the parts I want first and then going to figure it out.

listen do not worry i have done over 15+ transactions with companies in the US and canada. Dont over think the process just tell people this is your address no one would know any better. Relax

fter all the Procrastination I finally started getting things done! I have put the coils and the sways for later. So far I have ordered and receievd:

1. Carbon Fibre F Sport Shift Knob

2. F Sport Mats.

Ordered

1. GFX Front Lip Spoiler

2. GFX Rear Lip Spoiler

3. Carbon Fibre Vinyl Overlay for interior

Thinking of ordering

GFX Side Skirts

Also, Doc gave me some 3D Carbon Fibre Overlay which I made use of. I am sure he will not approve of what I did. Sorry Doc.

I had to get some Centre Caps for my rims but I had Infiniti rims with Infiniti Centre Caps. So I had to improvise.

Original

Sanded it to make it flat

Used the 3D Vinyl

and Voila!! Carbon Fibre Centre Caps -- Almost!!

So what do you guys think?

you can buy those same CF centre caps in Satwa. Paint the wheels a dark shade to make your CF caps blend in better.
