Love the design of the wheels, always had a soft spot for white on white. I think i am one of the few who loves the stock wing and your car pulls it off easily. keep up the updates .

Clublexusanonymous???

my name is mike... i sold my lexus and now have a sick addiction to coming back to the site and sorrowing in my decision to sell for no reason... I'm a troller... but in a few weeks I'm BACK!

Nice car brotha... I like the center caps and a color match on the rims would look clean. Always liked white on white a lil more than all black everything. Looks like a lil caravan filling up for the night???

Yeap, I am actually talking with bc about running a 12k setup all around. These are fantastic at full stiff, but halfway, they are a little too soft for my liking. I may be able to just roll the fronts and be okay...but as of yet, I have only rolled the rears..

You don't need to like stanced cars to know what spring rates are

I appreciate all of the kinds words, I'm so stoked to have it look this good with such little work.

As for tire sizes, they are 225/40/18 and 255/35/18

I believe I am going to swap the fronts out with a 225/35 (if it exists, or a 215/35)
there is one huge glaring problem in this picture, its the most over rated car on the face of the earth gracing your pic, get that toyotaburu out of the pic and it would be flawless

Thank you all for the compliments.

Did some stuff to her this week.

Had the headlights wetsanded, and recleared. They came out pretty awesome


Installed the roof wing, LED taillights and Pulled the fenders out fairly aggressively, still need some massaging, and a suspension setup change before respraying the car.



Installed a wood **** because my leather one was all torn up, and I purchased but haven't installed and OEM wood wheel.
I also have to use my passenger seat area as my trunk, because putting anything anywhere makes it rub REALLY HARD in the rear.

I would like to get some opinions...How do you feel about this trunk lid?

I like the look of the trunk lip.specially on the right color(I.e YOURS)....as far as the spring grate on your bc's.how stiff is it at 10k as opposed to 12k.... Is it really that noticeable as far *** body roll during cornering.and how about the normal bumps on the road? I assume u don't dd that beauty tho.

This is my daily. I have a supra as a weekend car (currently in pieces) 10k is far too soft for my ride height. If I didn't have such aggressive fitment along with the desire to be low, it'd be great...and they ride phenomenal... but I'm going to sell these (under 500 miles on em lol) and buy another set that is revalved to 18/16k
