Better Than Good Enough.

This is the first time I am posting pictures of my car in its most recent state. Yes it has been long over due, but I felt I was not ready to show the world yet. This car is very special to me, and in this world this fine piece of Japanese machinery has a huge part of my heart. I have owned this Lexus LS400 for about three years now. In this time frame I have studied and I have learned a lot about this car. I have never observed anything like this before. Every part of this car is truly perfection. The fit and finish of every fender, every door, every button is flawless. Buying this car, I knew my lifestyle would change. Building a "car" was nothing new to me, but building something that strives for perfection, was. I had a general idea of what I wanted, something that was new to America. A car that would sit low when it was driving, fenders that were untouched, wheels that have never been seen. A car that looks like it came from the factory, but COOLER. Sounds easy right? hahah somewhat. This style isn't for everyone, especially the masses. I love how this car was designed, the lines are classic. It was one thing I knew I would never taint. My first set of wheels, the SSR Viennas were purchased to make my second set of wheels. The Work Schwert SC4. I could not understand why I never seen such a beautiful wheel on any car in America. In Japan, this the Schwert SC4 is among the favorites. The wheel itself is very progressive, and the lines of the LS400 were very smooth. A clashing idea that sounded like disaster. It took me a few months of deciding, but I went with my heart. And so I put the order in. In the months of waiting, I thought to myself it might not work, but somehow I knew it would. I was impatiently waiting for them to come because the Fatlace One of One show in Long Beach was an event I did not want to miss. All my friends would be there and I didn't tell them what I really got hahaha. So this was big to me. It has been a long time coming since I got these wheels and really finished the car. This is something I really enjoy. I don't really care if it gets the attention or even if you like it. I built this for myself. And to me, it is better than good enough.

A Longing Sight.

Kings Of Celsior.

If you guys know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE Celsiors. Joe and Mr. Gamu presented their masterpieces today at the 15th Annual Toyota Fest in Long Beach, CA. I have loved these cars since the beginning of time. These cars have seen many changes, but NEVER for the worst. From Beils to Ordens, Profounds to DTX's, each step of the way these fine works of art have only gotten better. Both cars are truly amazing and more than pleasing to the eye. Seeing Joe's UCF21 and Mr. Gamu's UCF31 is reminder of what real VIP Cars are about. A clean, well-structured build, aero that you only dream about, attention to the smallest of details, and most importantly wheel game. These two Celsior owners are truly iconic and inspirational to me.

Congratulations to the Kings of Celsior.

Glory.

See the Goods, not that bads.

Seeing all these pictures floating around the internet is a constant reminder of how it has passed on. To me, the UCF20 was more than that. Every meet, every show, every Pho54 visit, and every time we hung out, mine and Jon's UCF20 was always together, side by side. Yes I know what happen was tragic, it made me really sad. Today, we went to a charity event thrown by Five Axis in Huntington Beach. It was the first time the two cars have not been together. You know how when you see those moments in the movies where a person is waiting for someone then that person realizes that moment that they have forgotten that person wasn't going to come because of some bad event. My UCF20 realized that moment today :(

The life of Jon's UCF20 should be celebrated, in all its GLORY.

Thank you Nicul for capturing this moment.

Jon's LS400!

Hot Damn. I posted this last night, but didn't get a chance to write. So all you guys that already saw it, here's something to read! I know this is just a rolling shot of Jon's LS400, but look how COOL it is! It really an amazing feeling to see your friends with the same car as you, and as their cars progress. There are not many of LS400s around when we started, there still really isn't. But I think people are getting around to it and it is really growing. I absolutely love LS400s and if any of you guys know me, you'll know that this is true hahaha. Jon is probably maxed out on his Megan Coilovers. Since the last time I posted his car, he now has Auto Coutures. The car is so damn low. This car is definately Proper.

LS400 Friends and Flooding.

Today, rain came down real hard. I didn't take any pictures since I thought I was going to get stuck somewhere. I have lived in Southern California all my life, and never once heard of a tornado warning. We had one of those today, pretty intense. Other than that, I saw tons of floods. I feel good not running just on my coilovers.

Fast forward and the rain stopped. I got a call from Jon this afternoon, told me to come over since there was a bunch of LS400s there. So I went, turns out it was Dat and Jon LOL. He was selling his Leon Hardiritt Ordens to Kevin from San Diego. Kevin has probably the lowest LS400 in America. But unfortunately he did not not bring it down.
