Default A Little Motivation for the Customizers

I rarely post much anymore, due to having several obligations taking all my time... I have been one of the OG members since my Gen 1 RX.. I see this forum is basically dead in terms of customization offerings...

A did a few light mods, to get the truck to look a little less soccer momish and more sporty..

2015 RX350 F-Sport
Niche Essen (custom powdercoated)
21x10.5 Et 40 squared setup
255/40/21 Azzuro ZT350

Painted the chrome moldings, grille, trim, roof rack all gloss black.. The front bumper is wrapped with vinyl..

Taillights were candy coated red to have a cleaner appearance.. Idk why Lexus is back to doing the "Altezza" taillights??


For all the conservatives and non believers yes the factory size is 19x7... Its all mathmatics and this setup fits like a glove and rides as super clean..
In fact I put 12mm spacers on there in order to get them sit flush with the fenders...😳

The Arturro tires ride surprisingly smooth and great price!!
I have owned and built several vehicles from Acura/Lexus to BMW/Porsche along with managing one of the premier high-end east coast custom shops, I have driven almost all brands/models of tires from low end to the high end... These ride equally as nice as any of the upper end models from Toyo, Pirelli, or Continental...


The wheels were originally matte black for the winter, they got a little beat up. I just recoated them the matte gold for the spring as a little change..

Would like to find a suspension that could lower the vehicle maybe an inch or slight more...

Nice ride.

I love the white and bronze color combination.

I also like how you black-out the chrome trim.

Nice!!!

I hope you plan on lowering it, because that wheel gap is
