Finally getting around to starting my garage. Planning to begin the mods this summer. Thanks to you all for your inspiration. I'll post more pics as the mods are completed. Here is our baby, 07 LX, on the dealership lot:

The mods have finally started. First was the Kenwood DNX 6140 DVD/Nav system. Selected it because of the onboard maps and Garmin GPS. CarToys did the install. After having it out on the road for a day we found very little sound coming from the rear door speakers. Took it back and they had to wire around the factory amp. Now its beautiful sounds from all the way around.
Next was painting the calipers. I used Dupli-Color's ceramic caliper paint kit. I contains a cleaner/prep spray, paint, masking tape, stir stick and brush. A little more work to complete, but the ceramic paint appears very durable.

After the calipers I removed all the emblems and replaced the grille and emblem, hatch emblem, and wheel caps with the KDM versions. I added factory fog lights with the factory control stalk. The fog light install was all plug and play.
With all the work completed I treated Sorentored to a road trip to the Grand Coulee Dam.

Finally got the funds to replace the tires & wheels. Got Sport Edition TK's, 17X8, from TireRack on closeout and the tires from the local Discount Tire, Hankook DynaPro ATM-10s. Found it ironic that the rims a produced by Hankook also.
