Default My half completed IS350 at the Pacific coastline

Finally got a chance to take some pictures of my IS350 after installing my new wheels and coilovers. I stopped by the beach near home after work for a quick photoshoot. For people in socal, this is at where Palos Verdes and San Pedro meet, it has been my favorite spot since I was in high school.

I'll be adding a full Fabulous kit (front lip+rear canards) and black vinyl roof top by this weekend, and probably a Tanabe exhaust next month. I need to raise my car for an inch, it is way too low for my taste and I scrape everywhere I go... I'll post some updated pictures when everything is done. Any advise or suggestions are more than welcomed!!

Anways, here they are, enjoy!!

hahaha 'raise it back up'??? BLASPHEMER!!! NEVA~~~ if you dont have scrapes under your car, your NOT LOWERED ENOUGH~ i think your drop looks great as it is

but~

ever think about removing the yellow on the fog lens and going with a yellow bulb instead? imo it'll give you a 'cleaner' look.

Very nice pictures. The black RHs compliment the Pearl white. I noticed you're using yellow fog overlays, but your foglights are 8000K. You should've used 3000K HIKD for the fogs if you like yellow.

Thank you all for your kind words!! For those of you outside of greater Los Angeles area, you'll feel sorry for me if you see the pavement condition around the area where I work at (around LAX Airport), IT'S LIKE DRIVING ON THE MOON!!

These are discontinued Racing Hart C4-R two piece, they're like regular C4 design, but in flat black finish. I spent quite a while to find these rims, especially in perfect condition. These are the only wheels I would take over a set of VS-XX.

LOL... I wish I can keep the look without craping the bottom, it's going to be worse after I add my Fab lip. I had mine set at 6/6, 'cause I didn't know where I should set them at, but it sure feels a lot more comfortable comparing to those H&Rs on my S4. I think 6/4 is a perfect setting for daily driving, I feel the rear bounce a little harder than the front. You have TEAS but I don't, so I need to remove the truck carpet to get to the dials ... Should've taken a ride in yours, but you live too far....lol...

Default More Pics

Here are a few more, the first two pictures were taken at an ocean front community with multi-million houses. Some of these houses are not even sold.
