Default Kwik's Black 09 build thread....

So I am hella bored at work and thought I would put a little build thread together for the community. Enjoy I'll keep this thread updated..



First day I brought her home. Traded in my 08 IS250 AWD for.........

09 Obsidian Black


Threw my old volk SF winning on them. I believe the specs are
19 x 8.5 +38
19 x 9.5 +42




Next up I swapped the lens in the headlights to some STI-R for a better cut off and more color. Its hard to see in the photos but it was cheap and improved the lighting quite a bit.

BEFORE:



AFTER:




First winter with the car and new wheel set up
Volk CE28N magnesium blue.
19 x 8.5 +35
19 x 9.5 +36







Started making carbon fiber overlay for my own parts. Check it out. Let me know what you think.

Pretty much the same way as the DIY in the ISx50 section. You have to be really patience

Honestly I don't know. I'm still debating on taking in my calipers to be polish out chrome. Who knows.

I'm just running stock tire size. I'm actually rubbing a little from time to time and my rear fenders are shaved.

Car looks sick! I love all the mods you have done so far, especially that rear diffuser. Must be awesome to now have the capability to CF wrap anything you want lol.
