Is that original exhaust? I agree on the tint. I am interested to know if it has been lowered at all and what size the wheels are on it at present.

I've been thinking about wheels & tint it's just NH has a pretty strict tint law. I've been eyeing the old ISP mode Lexus wheels.

I have an invidia mid-pipe with an HKS axel back currently on the car. The springs are stock currently.

looks good. I like the 2nd pic the best. Drop it before you get wheels for sure

Nice pics. I would suggest a drop before anything else. Springs or coil overs, your choice. Then a sway bar set or just the rear sway bar. Red outs if you don't like the amber in the tail lights. Tint. JDM visors. Illuminated door sils. Nice set of rims. Roof spoiler. Updated head lights if you like the newer LED headlights. Front lip.

It really depends on what you are going for and how much money you are willing to spend. Good luck with the mods.

Car and pics are great. I would strongly recommend you go with a drop first. Do coils, not springs. I did springs and like them but really wish I had put that money toward a set of springs. I agree with the other comments, in that tint and wheels will make the most significant change in the appearance of your ride. Painted calipers and red outs for the tails are fast and cheap mods that make a big difference too.....

Where in NH? I live in south canada now, and will be getting back in the lexus game very shortly. Drop and tint are a necessity

I wasnt really messed with when I had my last lexus in NH, and that was with no front plate, dark tint, even tint on the front windshield. But I know what you mean, they can be tough when they want to be

Clean looking ride. Love the second pic! I'd say tint the rear windows and if you want lower it.

LMAO...pretty much the CL stamp of mods

OP...the pics look great, your friend has some skills so make sure you keep him/her around like others, I would suggest a drop as the very next mod...go coils so you can set the height just how you like it, and if you change your mind you can change the drop

Drop on stocks > wheels at stock height
