So as you can see from the Pictures I installed the f sport lips, the first one I installed (right side) i was un-aware that there were marks on the back of the bumper where the holes needed to be made, and i just did my best measuring and tweaking as i went. it ended up working, and then I realized after 2 hours of work hat there was marks plotted out for you lol. so the second side took 20 minuets...


anyways, I tried to take my car in for an alignment and the tire shop i have a 3 year free alignment at from my old lexus, and they say that my car is to low to align... what? im not even that low, so now ill have to find a shop in sarasota/ bradenton that knows what there doing so i can get it aligned.


Also I didnt get around to painting the calipers like planned because I got a little side tracked with this project.










Im big into audio and my last IS I ran 5k rms total on sundown zv3 12" and crescendo mids. I sold all my amps, batteries, wire, and speakers and wasn't going to do any audio in this car but after a few days of driving with stock sound I couldn't stand it anymore, so I found an sa-12 used in good shape for cheap and bought a cheap audio pipe aspm1500 new. I decided to go with a sealed box for space reasons only. Im in the process of making a beauty panel that will hide the box/ amp. That should all be done by monday at the latest wednesday.

Ran all the wire yesterday, mounted the amp and in-line converter to the top of the box. Then test fit the box to see how much trunk ill have left, and by the looks of it im very pleased by the way things are falling together. The converter is a 6 channel and extremely un-necessary for just adding a subwoofer, but its what i already had from my old setup. an lci2 would be more ideal for just a subwoofer output. everything will be hooked up and running later today, and then ill start the beauty panel.

Oh and i got this in today at work any guesses?
