So you have 245/35 and 285/30?

I know I'm being a bother, but can I ask why you chose those profile sizes?

Thank you!

Exhaust is Joe Z....
No baffles were added what you are seeing is stock

Is this the standard Vossen setup which is usually 20x9 (32mm offset) and 20x10.5 (45mm offset)?

The exhaust is axle back design?

Well done! Looking forward to seeing your car in person!
The 285 cleared fine..There was slight rubbing when going over dips, but then I grounded down
the inner quarter panel a bit and applied a corrosion protection

Alignment to be determined this week by Tustin Lexus

They are the standard Vossen set up 20x9 32mm offset and 20x10.5 45mm offset

Yes, this is the Joe Z axle back

No bother at all..
The profile I chose was a perfect fit. I wanted the largest tire I could fit in the rear

It looks great! I'm not a big fan of modded cars normally, but yours really turned out great...very clean...

Well, I decided to go with the F sport front bumper...I had the body shop paint the bumper and grills just like my other one. Here is a split screen so you could see the deference..

What do you guys think?

Nice. I like both actually. I have the non-FSport bumper, and as as soon as I can get some time I'm having mine painted like that with flat black.

You could probably sell that original bumper cover to somebody on here...

Love the new F-Sport front bumper, both look great, but the F-Sport adds a little more aggression!

Nice mods, but for some reason, the black roof doesn't work with this car.

Thanks guys...I really like the more aggressive look the F bumper brings. Been thinking about a front spoiler to top it off..

Also, anybody (local) interested in my original custom painted bumper/grills let me know by PM
I can get them installed also.....

Just got my alignment done @ Tustin Lexus. Here is the specs..The camber is out all the way around, but I expected that. It's not that bad compared to some I have seen though

Interesting to know that even the Tanabe springs won't align back into spec.

Now I gotta decide ... install mine now or wait for alignment kit.

I would just install them. Lexus does not have a camber kit...
