Its been a little while since posting some things, but here are a couple of upgrades...

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a rear bumper from Slee. Man is that thing stout and bolted on tight! Instructions are great, parts are well organized when shipped, What a great :banana: job.

Now, even though at some point back I had used SuperbrightLEDS to replace most interior lights, I also did the reverse lights and was promptly disappointed. Well, now that we have a rocking place to mount a back up light, let there be light!

and here is what the neighbors house looked like 100 feet away Hehehe...

One of the things that has really been bothering me was the 17 year old leather.... Man, you couldn't get enough rood reviews like Shane has gotten for his product! What I will say is that as well as these leather replacements are made, when they go on, there are lots of wrinkles and pulls. If you are a perfectionist, you will be disappointed right after you finish. The bright side is, after a month, mine have completely formed to the chair and look almost factory. So thankful to have Terry McIntosh at McIntosh Imports help (mostly he did all the work)!

I had also gotten the center console cover. Had to take that to an upholstery shop to get that stapled and glued into place. Also upgraded to the heat seats to keep the princess happy. Heat seat switches

Just waiting for the second row leather to come in.
 
I don't know too many built LC's that don't exceed. My low mileage, perfect condition, 40th anniversary edition, with every option is worth about $9.5k.

So I guess it's which route you choose or can afford to go. I have 10k just in extra's and am about halfway to what I want which is not lavish compared to some of the cool rigs I have seen here.
 
Hey guys, it's beach week! For tech, that's Slee's 2 inch receiver holding a 40 lb bike rack, a 23 lb my bike and a 28 lb mtn bike. No problems at all!
