I don't want to get mushy and all that, but I believe you and some of the other veteran CL members on here convinced me that this L-tuned upgrade was the way to go with your initial feedbacks about this install.
You have all been very helpful and I don't know what I would have done without this great site and great members such as yourself. Let's just say it's nice to have friends and contacts anywhere and everywhere.
Thanks again for making my bank account a little smaller these days!

BEFORE L-TUNING - I'm FLOATING ON AIR!
The huge spacing maybe distorted somewhat, since it's probably the camera angle, but there is still a noticeable difference in the drop when you got L-Tuned. I love it!

Big congrats - car's looking great.
You're on the slippery slope of mods though...

You've got to do it. It took me long enough to actually get my butt off the ground to do it and I am very happy with the results.
I had mine done by Lexus of Manhattan, one of the sponsors on this site.
Beware, when the car is lowered, you're just feeling that you have to get larger than 17" rims to make it look right, so the mods are just beginning!
Am I the only member on here that has used our sponsor, Lexus of Manhattan so far?
