nice GS. imho the chrome looks amazing and you cant go wrong with the mesh style wheels. Its a classic look. I have a similar design from TSW on my ride.

Nice shots with the sunset and beach in the background

I think I saw your car off 401\404 area some time back. Come thru to the meet this Thursday would love to see your ride in person. BTW who did your NAV override?

Close enough, its 38% I think either SunGuard or 3M can't remember brand.

Thanks Bro. To be very honest your ride is what inspired me to go with the mesh look and my pics do not compare to the amazing pics you have LOL. I always loved the TSWs snettertons but went MRRs because the 4" lip in the rear.

No Fender mods, just running a H+R Spacers 5MM up front. There is light rubbing on full turns but nothing major. The HR2's are very classy and sweet man, going Silver or Chrome?

I am so glad you posted those pics...I was just looking at those rims on elementwheels.com I have been going back and forwarth selecting rims. The guy on the phone told me $1,423.00 without tires (chrome). Free shipping too. I dont know what deal you got but I think im going to bite off you since I know what it looks like now. Unfortunately the lexus dealer told me $380.00 alone (plus $600.00 to install) for FSport springs....Blue???

Question????? I was on a couple of tire calculators and it seems to me 285 is the best for the rear?? Does anyone REALLY know?

It all depends on what size wheel 8.5-9 width in the front go either 235/30 or 245/30 and the rear 10.5 either 275/30 or 285/25 some people even go 265/30 I recommend 20x9 + 32 offset, with a 245/30 and the rear 20x10.5 +40, offset with a 285/25 and you should be happy!

Springs I got from Lexus of Westminster talk to Kerry. You can also check here for any promos on F-Sports I saw one some time back not sure if its still valid.

The Rims\Tires I got from Need4Speed. I got a better price then you have and check my PM to you. I would say just wait on rims don't rush it now. Its almost October you have 1 month tops before it starts snowing. Plus you can get some better pricing off season or check CL Classified for a good deal.

I'm not gonna like at first the beach pic didn't really catch my eye as a standout but this last pic really does show your car better, great looking car nice stance. Only thing you need to change is that profile hater pic!
