Thanks, really appreciate the comparison! I'll definitely be considering this.

 

[/QUOTE] Haha I don't think you can really tell from those pictures but they are!
(Kinda an old picture before I had spacers but it was the only one I could find that actually showed the headlights that well) [/QUOTE]

Oooh, nice! Fog light housings next! Did you do them yourself?

 

On your headlights did you just paint the housing using satin black? Also what did you do to get rid of the orange reflector? Looks great!

 

Haha yup! Wasn't to bad just had to be careful and take your time.

 

I just went to the local Wal-Mart and got a black spray paint that was just in-between satin and gloss. And the orange reflector just pops right out! And thanks!

 

Update: After getting new tires I did end up rubbing quite a bit in the rear. So I just went to my friends shop and got them rolled wasn't that hard with the correct fender rolling tool and a heat gun.

 

Update:
Over christmas I got a few new toys thought I would share: Full Windshield tint, f-sport shift ***, f-sport carpets, and hard wired my cop radar. Here are some pics, any thoughts on what i should do next??

 

I too have H&Rs riding on the stock 18s. Im thinking about running spacers as well. What brand spacers did you go with? had any problems with them? Thanks in advance, car looks great! Lip kit???????

 

I actually just went on amazon and found these they have been amazing no issues at all I did 20mm in the front and 25mm in the back and it came out perfect.

 

love your ride man. getting a is250 in month and just wanted to pick your brain a bit. those stock wheel you have are 18s? and with the h+r springs you have what is the current drop you have?. I was planning on replacing the stocks i have with 18s and wondering what width and drop i can go to without rubbing. PLus how does it ride. Any info would be grealty apreciated

 

Yup they are stock 18's 225 in the front and 255 in the back. The H&R's ride a little fermer than stock but its barley noticeable. You still get the lexus smooth ride. And yes all the photos you see are with me H&R's. I never got any rubbing after intalling them, I only a little rubbing in the back after puttting on the 25mm spacers going over BIG speed bumps haha any other questions id be more than happy to help out

 

Thanks for the quick reply. the Is250 AWD im getting is that really nice pearl color and wanted my ride set up just like yours.(thinking black meshed wheels polished lip, tint and maybe darkened the lights) Keep up the good work man I know what it was like being your age and wanting to have a nice ride on a limited budget.

 

AWD rims are actually a bit smaller than normal IS rims! I have an AWD and the stock ones have become my winter wheels

 

Yea I'm thinking thats what I'm gonna do with the original wheels..good to know though thanks! Not sure what wheels yet but thinking either volks te37 black not sure as I think they only come in 18x8.5 and feel they might rub I'll have to do some research I'm sure there are plenty of people running these sets just not sure on there susp.setup or maybe a ESR style wheel..
