I had to adjust mine up, a lot. They were aimed really low oh of the box, I'm just using some high grade Hella bulbs and the output is fine for me, however I run with my fogs on anyways. The cutoff is decent but nowhere near as sharp as my dad's old 06 GS430 or 2013 LS460 are. I decided not to put HID bulbs&balasts in these headlights because the look like the sort of lights that would have massive skattering issues. I'm less a fan of the side markers and will probably put the stock corners back in shortly.


I can't go lower without air. As it is, I already drag the underbody over driveways and speedbumps in my area.
I'm happy with how it looks so I have put off air in favour of building a stereo.
Pretty much finalized my parts list, just a matter of slowly squiring all the parts!

What tires sized did you put on?

Not that you asked but it was asked earlier....
I had my refinisher diamond cut the faces, leave the original black on the insets, machine cut the lips and then clear everything.

I ended up going with the falken 453s in 235/35/19 and 265/30/19... Should have given me a decent stretch over 19x10s and 19x11s. BUT they stretch A LOT LESS than the 245/35 and 275/30 Falken 452s that I had on there before!

While they are a very nice tire, ride smooth and are very quiet, I do not recommend them to anyone for stretching. It's a good thing I wasn't pressed for space or these would have been wasted money!

Your car looks very nice!!! Do you get any rubbing with the 235 in the front?

I saw that you rolled one fender earlier. As of now, have you rolled any other fenders since. My reason for asking is I just got my megan lps, ordered 225/35 for a slight stretch on my 20x8.5 and I was wondering if I should just order my fender roller now. Lol

The amount of stretch depends on the tires. These 235s on 10" wide front wheels have less stretch than my old 245s did...

All 4 corners are rolled but my alignment may have negated the need to roll the fenders. I don't rub on anything but the inner fender liner now... I want to add 1" to the outside lips front and rear with the space!

Looks great! I had the same issue when switching from 452 to 453. The 235 previously had alot more stretch on my 10.5 than it does now.

Thanks for the compliments!
It's coming along nicely.

The proportions of these cars are deceiving, there is actually a lot of wheel gap still. While it's not visible in the pictures it is very obvious in person! Cannot wait for air...
