Good place to get them:

http://www.safe-n-sound1.com/VALENTINE.html

I got mines for my escort there and the price is reasonable!

I've had the valentine for years now, and have updated it whenever they have an update available. It's amazing and i will never own any other type. Totally worth the money.

Default BC Racing Suspension INstalled

Well, finally got around to installing the BC Racing BR Coilovers yesterday. I have to say that the product is great quality and the ride is amazing. I opted for the upgraded Swift Springs with the 12/10 setup. The car rides exactly how a car with an F SPORT badge should ride.

Big thanks to BC Racing North America for their help on getting these out to me so quickly.

Anyways...on to the pics.

Tai3IS, this may have gotten buried. Were you able to comment on this?

Also, it would be great if you could post a full rear shot when you have some time. I'd like to see how the whole rear end looks (the car, not yours, sorry) with this new color scheme.

Did you remove the lettering from the rear?

For the chrome rear badge, just order it from the body section on Sewell's site for the 2014 IS250/350. The front emblem is where i had problems. You have to contact Sewell and they'll send an email with a part numbers and procedure of how to order them on the site. I searched for the email and i must have trashed it. Can't seem to find it anywhere in my inbox.

I'll try and get a rear shot maybe this weekend and post it up.
