Wow, less than 1% difference in wheel diameter and it still caused problems.. did the front and rear tires wear unevenly or something?

That's the wrong size though, it should be 225/35,265/30. Plus you were SOOO low...

Anyway, congrats on the new purchase, now get your 350 looking like your previous AWD.

Nice build thread bro! And congrats on moving up from a 250 to a 350! Moar power!

Your headlight install guide and pics are very helpful but have to admit, that wiring job looks too complicated for a novice like me

And wow = Nice Intake!!

No, I had SPC front camber kit, and the megan rear camber kit.. I kept up with the alignment.. that **** just clucked out on me one day...

it was still within the tire size difference variance.. regardless lesson learned never again.. I'm much happier with the 350!!

DAY 2 Install...

Been waiting on these for awhile.. but finally got them done..
I ordered the material from BRIDE prolly about a year ago.. but I never got around to doing the rear seat in the 250... Than when the whole incident with the transfer case went down, I waited til I got this car.. Anyways took the material and the rear seat to my local upholstery shop and 3 days later ...



Installed:



For those that didn't see my IS250.. I have the matching door panels and front seats.. I'll install those back in pretty soon...

Man this build is giving me the itch again...

Your car is coming together very nice, make sure you take some pics of the in dash install, I'm kind of curious how it all comes together and looks after installing that touch screen head unit.

can you tell me from where did you got this 2011 LED Headlights? because I'm planing to upgrade my head light to 2011 LED Headlights from sewellparts ,when I ask them about it does it will fit my OEM plug and it will not need to Fabricate it to fit my plug ?

they answer (The retro headlamp kit is designed to plug into your existing plug)


thank you
