Thanks guys I think I'm gonna skip getting spacers now. I ran into several threads about spacers in general while researching about it before I invest some time and money. Link below is one of them....

Wow
Some super rides from
texsexlex
MrMark
DnB_Tek
SlvBullet
LEXZILLA

Any and all modifications are welcome. Nothing is too small.
New valve stem caps
Debadged - front/rear
LED lighting
Blacked out grill or other areas
New wheels - Lexus or aftermarket
On air
coilovers
And all the wonderful mods I have seen on so many different threads which can be hard to put together when you're trying to remember where you saw that mod.

Just as a side note, those 10mm are slide-on spacers. As i was saying, I would NEVER recommend slide on spacers... only bolt-on. I used mine for a long time and I'm a bit of a speed demon. Never had a problem. Bolt-on are more secure and have their own lug bolts therefore no chance of lugs bolts breaking due to increased torque on short bolts. Anyway, to each its own. Good luck.

Default First Trophy

Das Puffer (AKA The Cream Puff) captured its first trophy at a local car show today.
We don't do many and this may be the only one this year.
I'm psyched, however, now what am I going to do with that hunk of metal?

How do you like your front trd sway bar? Does it fit with oem end links? By the way looks like I got good news and my car is being fixed by insurance company. Maybe more mods to come.. Front sway bar probably

Agreed lexneffect

Which looks better, the red, black or stock?. Both of the coverings are CF vinyl wrap.
Note: the black was hurriedly applied for the pic. When correctly applied it would be smooth.

I'm not a fan either. Keep it OEM. :-)

in the Amy Winehouse song
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said,
'No, no, no.':

I wanted to wrap my fuel flap but they said
'No, no, no.'

Thanks for your inputs. The wrap was on the car when it won the trophy, so I might DD it stock and wrap for the few shows (1-2 / yr.) that I might attend.

Keep the mods coming.
