I trimmed my bumper tab too and went lower but once I did, there's something else that I started to rub on.
It's this black metal piece that looks like it was connected to the bumper tab so you might have to shave that a bit too.
I haven't gotten around to it but that's what one member suggeste to me.
Not sure if it's different because you have an '09 and I have a '10.
Otherwise, your car is looking great!

I'm not sure what your wheels specs are because I did a quick skim through and saw this! Just a heads up

Im no stranger to having to cut / weld whatever is needed to get lower my old jetta: (had to notch the frame on both sides for axle clearance and tie rods)

Are you using a DIY walk through to remove your headliner or are you just going at it? Did you encounter any problems with just wrapping it? You would use adhesive fabric spray and then tuck the excess into the trim right?

Not using a DIY, just experience from doing other headliners

These parts come from the IS F / ISx50 F-Sport, and I've tried to be exhaustive, but the roof console has a lot of choices, but I've tried to make it simple.

Stance and possible wheels are anything but simple and elegant. *confused* Nice color though.

It's the type of wheels and level of stance, both of which stand out and are aggressive. Elegance and simplicity is traditionally subtle, conservative, timeless, and restrained. You are going for sporty look that stands out.

your definition of elegance and simplicity is more or less what will happen. ie. no lip kits. nothing unnecessary.
the wheels pictured are the LEAST sporty or agressive wheels ever. simple classic 5 spoke design. (although they have since been sold)
aggressive fitment and low does not automatically equal sporty.
IMO ccdan has a prime example of simple and elegant
less is more. you will see
