So here are those new pics I promised a week or two ago. Let me also say the car isn't washed, detailed, or anything else. I'll post those pics after the weekend.

Many thanks to Putnam for the "good will" warranty that fixed my shocks, Jack for swapping trunks with me, to B&K Auto Body in Hayward for the trunk swap, and lastly, to Hann who helped track down my order at LuxuryMods for the interior lights. Last but not least, thanks go to Darrel of Sewel Lexus for hooking up the wheels/tires and tollerating me changing my mind and order at least 3 times.

The GS look good!! I too prefer the no spoiler. What's that sticking out of the rear glass, sorta looks like an antennae or something?

Thanks guys. Ya, I think a drop is coming but it might be last on the list of mods. Maybe next year's tax returns.

Ya, my little mutt was like, "dad, wtf? you're taking photo's in the dark!"

I'll post more pics next week when its not dark, the car is detailed, and the tint is in place.

Btw, yes, its an antenna thingy (coming off tomorrow!), and yes, stock suspension.

There's no room for spacers in the front. I'm running the G-Spider wheels from the newer IS350 with 255/40/18 Potenza's. And I'm running the wider (8.5") rear wheels all the way around my car.

There is some room for spacers in the rear but I'm not sure how I'll get a 1/2" spacer. Does anyone know?
