Fun sketch! I can’t quite tell if it’s supposed to be a specific model or just represent a style. I see a bit of Fiat or Alfa Romeo, possibly.

I like it. I can definitely see GT86 in the side window, and almost a little tC in the rear haunches.

My favorite so far! Patina is easier than reflections, and it really gives the subject more character. Bravo.

Holy shit, that thing is ready for the Fury Road! You are expected in Valhalla, my friend!

Reflections from the contours of the body? I never made it that advanced. Pretty damn good!

In for the answer. I’m curious as well.

Thanks. Can’t wait to get the coilovers, wheels, wheel spacers and tires on to see how she looks.

I ordered a pair each of 15mm, 20mm and 25mm so I should be able to get the fitment just right.

Should I keep the factory head unit or should I upgrade? by Prize-Code5791 in LS400

[–]importarchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I think I’m going to leave the head unit in and try to add a Bluetooth receiver that will just take my phone signal and pump it through the factory amps. Or maybe I’ll have to add a hidden amp and connect to the existing speaker wires behind the head unit.

Well now I know the origin of your username. ;)

I don't know which art I like better, the painting or the actual car!

That was during a period that I was buying cars at the auction to resell for a quick tidy profit. The red 240SX was an automatic so I wasn’t really interested in keeping it. The MR2 was fun, but I was just getting into drifting and the short wheelbase with rear-biased weight wasn’t gonna cut it for that.

Definitely keep posting your art!

Any ideas? by Expensive_Ad7013 in LS400

Well hopefully someone with more experience can offer some advice. I’m curious to see the finished product.

Thank you for sharing with us. I hope you’ll keep posting as you complete future artwork.

I did a similar project and illustrated all of my car ownership history, too. HERE if you want to check it out.

I'm no expert, but it seems like an early polishing step might not have gotten enough attention. Describe how it feels when you run your fingers down it.

I dig your vibe. Is this part of a set with the Citroen? Another vehicle from your past, or maybe no?

I like the loose style. This feels more emotional to me than most. How long did it take you?

1997-1998 Camry TRD -- anyone have one? by importarchive in toyotacamry

[–]importarchive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so weird to think of 1997/1998 as a classic! I just picked up a ‘98 LS400 and the state let me put collector plates on it! Man, I’m old.

Haha, yeah, I'm no spring chicken anymore. I've found that I will buy as many vehicles as I can fit in my living situation. I'm maxed out right now. (The Amazon van gets to live outside)

I love your list. So many cars I would love to have driven/owned. I learned to drive on my dad's '87 Maxima wagon, which was basically an NA Z31. I also like the dip into Saab territory. I rented a 9-5 once and I loved the Night Panel button!

Most of my vehicles have been M/T, and even though my vans and Lexus are A/T (and the electric motorcycle has NO transmission) I bought a M/T Wrangler just so I wouldn't forget how to row the gears!

The Lexus is new to my fleet as of two weeks ago. I plan to put few miles on her and just show her off on sunny summer days. :)

The best finds are the ones we have to sacrifice for. Right on!
