Hey All! I have seen some amazing builds, so here goes anything!

Bought the car in September 2012, Brand new!

Here is how she looked:



After looking at those ugly halogens, I decided to change them to a white LED and 8K HID combination:




Next I decide to wrap the grille and mirror accents gloss black, paint the brake calipers red and plasty dip the rims black as I had very little money at the time to use on the car.










I then began to save up money in the winter of 2013 to mod my car. Then next thing I decided to do in early spring of 2014 was the exhaust as I had felt the stock exhaust was too quiet so I went to gtcustoms in pickering ontario where I replaced the stock axelback with a custom axelback exhaust.




Here is a link to the video of how the exhaust sounds:


After getting the exhaust done I decided to get a replica wald diffuser.





I then decided that to complete the look I would need a front lip, so I got a wald pu front lip which I test fitted and got painted to match the car.








After much debate and jokes from friend's I decided to lower my car from 4x4 status. So I then began my research on springs and coilovers. In the end I decided to get a set of BC coilovers which I can say ride just like stock

Stock:



After:




Some shoots from my friend:











I then decided to get rims, as I got a deal I couldn't refuse and picked up a set of inforged 1812's 18X9 with +40 offset.










After that I decided to get something for the interior and bought a fsport shift ****







The last thing I decided to do for the end of 2014, which was by far one of my favourite mods this always puts a smile on my face was blacking out my headlight housing.







That's it for now and if want to see how my build is going follow me on instagram @sicredis . Also if you where wondering where I got my front lip painted you should checkout @kierontang on instagram and where I got my headlights blacked out as I was afraid of breaking them checkout @tlmnick as he does this professionally.

If your in the Toronto area feel free to message me on facebook at Timothy Alladin, as I am always down to help and meet fellow lexus enthusiast.

Here are some pics of me and my friend's car from 2014:

I had a feeling! I knew something looked familiar... turns out i've been subscribed to both of yours already hahahaa

I cant remember if ive already asked:
-how many inches did you lower? (fender to ground height)
-any issues with tire wear (camber)? Any plans to buy camber kits?

TMA1111

I lowered it 2 inches killing the wheel gap but I still get vibrations every once and awhile because of the AWD. I was looking into getting a camber kit from SPC but I have decided I will get new wheels with less offset for the summer. As for camber it was about -3 degrees, the only thing you have to worry about is the toe because if that is out of wack you will eat through your tires.

ohh all good!
What offsets are you running right now? I'm +35...
How were your tires doing at -3 camber? (Its winter so I'm assuming you have different wheels on)

TMA1111

I had +40 but I am thinking of getting +30 or +35. I have raised the car up for the winter so its back at stock height with stock wheels on as I do alot of driving and don't want to wreck my car that much.

At Nixcision what wheels you running?

Car is looking great! Agreed that the black housing on the headlights really looks good with that color.

I have a question tho, why your car has 06-10 headlights if your car is '12?
