No, not at all, It was whatever the previous owner had done. I think it was from lack of being driven. I bought it in 08 with less than 20k miles. it was built in sept 2005 as a 2006 model...and according to carfax, was purchased originally in Las Vegas in october of 2005.

so it wasnt driven alot, and when it was it was HOT. Rotors warp, it happens. Well, not anymore LOL.

She's coming along nicely cool.gif

I suggest doing something about that huge chrome monstrosity that Honda calls a "grill" laugh.gif laugh.gif

Well it is either that or get a CF one. I like the look of CF but I am afraid it will look too aggressive for this car. after all...it is NOT the Si, and it is NOT fast. Peppy, yes...fast enough for CF, no...not really.

I was honestly thinking of smoking it. Much like the Pearl Black/Gray Lexus Badges.

If you go carbon fiber that may be over the top yea. Next thing u know you'l be painting your hood black and puting decals on the side...

Thats what I am thinking.

And no im not gonna do a CF grille. Are you crazy? I like the look of CF, but a CF grille Vs. Composit plastic is what, 6 oz. weight savings?

Nah, thx. Lexus Black Pearl emblems FTMFW.
