IMO, the blue makes it look like someone forgot to take the plastic wrap off your lights. YMMV.

I'd like to see a better shot of the lights. I was thinking of doing my fogs with blue overlay.

how come you did not go staggered?
i love my XT7's the look close to factory, but different enough for those who know rims to know what they are.

thanks for the input guys...I took the blue overlay off and the car looks alot better. i am still researching on coilover system for the IS, i am kind of leaning towards JIC at the moment, any suggestions? and does anyone know what the x-package spring rate is?
i didn't get staggered set up on the track because i want to be able to rotate them as the season go, but i decided not to at the end and went with 265 35 18's in the rear, that should be plenty for now. maybe if i run hoosiers after this set than ill get wider wheels.
