Default New wheels, Avant Garde M310 Dolphin Gray on IS350

I just got my 09' IS350 a few weeks ago. I just installed F-sport springs, F-sport intake, and Avant Garde M310 in Dolphin Gray 235/35/19 front 275/30/19 rear. I just plastidip my rear L symbol and debadged the rest. So far so good I think, I am installing the GFX rear along w/ AP2 S2k tips next week. One crappy cell pic for now. + a few more.

I have the same year as you and I went with GFX lips (Small lips on the right and left corners). I like them, not too big not too small and they make the front looks more sporty!

If you want to keep it simple, just get a full gfx kit. Vertex front and sides do flow well with the gfx rear. If you want to be a little more aggressive front, you should check out a Fab and Wald front.

Car looks good so far. What else do you plan on doing besides a body kit?

I was looking at these rims in hyper silver. but i think the only thing wrong with them is the offset. could i just put a spacer on the rims to fix the problem so they fit. the bolt pattern is 114.3

I added a few more cell phone pics. I blacked out the front grille, I had purchased the ISF mesh grille insert but I started to install it and gave up I would rather not break every single clip. I also noticed last night that my side mirrors are a different color....? Much more of a flat white. And they also look like elephant ears has anyone changed the side mirrors for something a little more sleek?
