The side skirts should be here soon. I ordered them from nigel-jdmparts.com. As far as rear diffuser goes, I'm thinking of going with seibon carbon parts. My F-sport mufflers won't look good with modellista diffuser as they are suited for quad tip style mufflers. Keep y'all posted

Those bumper side pieces look really nice! I almost wanna say those would look even better in gloss black or CF, but that could take away from the clean look though. Another thing is, if the front sat just a tad lower and the rear higher, it would enhance the stance a bit. Right now it looks like the front is nearly stock height while the back is slammed, not sure why that is (uneven surface?)...If you want to stick with springs, I would just get regular down springs for rear and super down or whatever for the front to fix that.

Staggering on AWD?
I am coming from an Audi Quattro system and it was my understanding that for AWD the wheels should be the same width? How does this work out with the Lexus? Are there any issues with the speed sensor?
Basically, I need an AWD (live in the NW) but love the concave look. My ideal set up would be 19X8.5 and 19X10. I have only seen the staggering done on AWD Bimmers, specifically the X5.
Thanks!

Its been awhile since I've been on the forum. Still waiting on my TRD parts from nigel..
Japan sure takes their time haha in the meanwhile I've been tinkering with the stock 'sound generator' and the f-sport intake. After driving on both for couple months. I can definitely say the f-sport intake is louder than the plastic intake. Here are some pictures of the f-sport intake. Perfect fitment and it looks great! Oh n I'll be posting a cabin noise video very soon

The beauty of AWD... Let me start off by saying - I love the color of your car. I saw it online and wasn't convinced, but when I saw this post I really liked it. And those wheels really stand out!! Keep up the good work!

The AWD sitting on RSR downs is just the perfect combination for any AWD owners out there looking for a moderate setup and stance. I had much fun in the snow past winter n never got stuck. Thanks for all the comments lexi90 and stay tuned for more
