Default GFX...rims this weekend...what next?

So I moved my 07 chrome is250 18s over to the SC430 so im on a set of aftermarket 18s (for sale) they came with the SC430 but I wanted a staggared set up on that car. My 2009 chrome 18s came in but I need to mount the tires on this weekend and put them on the car. I got the GFX kit installed and now im considering lowering on f sport springs, upgraded brakes and a roof spoiler and then I think im done

Give me feedback

The SC looks clean. Not a fan of the IS's wheels, but have fun!

i think these look alot better than the current ones you have on the 2IS. dealership will charge you an arm and a leg to install fsport springs. only thing good about it is that it comes with a warranty. if you want to save $ buy the springs yourself and have a local shop do it for much cheaper. happy modding!

btw, i dont see the dead fish/log. where is it...lol
