Here is how the car stands today, January 2008.

I have done the following:

1. filled in the front bumper license plate holes. Plugs just didn't cut it for me.
2. Tanabe DF210, purchased used from ClubLexus. They were mounted on a 2006 GS430, which was great for me because that meant they settled lower on the front as the V8 engine is heavier. It's been an issue on the GS300/350 that the front sits a tad higher. I don't have that issue

3. 6000K D4S headlight bulbs

4. 6000K fog light HID kit (they look a bit bluer though....maybe 8000K, but from afar they match the 6000K fine).

5. Single inverted LED super white city lights, matches the 6000K very well.

6. DCR Forged Hockenheim wheels, 3 piece, 20x10R, 20x9F with Falken 452 275/30/20R and 245/30/20F

7. 15% tint all around.

These are the only mods for now Not bad after a month

the fabulous front lip is on the mild side i think. not sure if it will look balanced with the ING sides (more aggressive). just me

Maybe the Blitz then....

I don't know the offset. it's definitely conservative. I have zero rubbing.
