Hey guys,

I've been lurking the 90 series section for a long while and the car's been coming along nicely, so I thought i'd post up a build thread.

To those who don't know me I'm Luis, I'm from Venezuela and own a 2008 RZJ90, coming off of an armored 2002 V6 95 series which was in pretty rough mechanical shape, spent two years struggling between repairs until the opportunity to buy this shorty came along and I sold the 95. Haven't looked back since.

2008 RZJ90 with 55000km on the clock, "Eclipse Gray", bought completely stock.

Interior:

Waterproof canvas seats- the fit on these are better than they look, but the material is so rugged that it stays wrinkled, there's no way I can make it smooth, but oh well, at least my upholstery will remain intact.



Maglite mount



I have a quickfist for mounting one of my Surefire lights, but I havent decided where to place it yet.

Rear rubber flooring



Interior LED lighting - Also super bright, excuse the crappy pic.
