Default Future Plans in the works!

Here are a glimpse of the major parts I have in store for this build. Individ Wheels-(Bob-SocalSC4) are being processed and put together as we speak! Decided to go with the same wheel on the GS, in an effort to support his business and possibly contemplating selling the GS?

Hi, I am intrigued by the black grille. Where did you buy it? Is the black finish a wrap or paint? If it is painted, is it a glossy black or a satin black finish? I am planning to get this done on my car soon. Thanks for your help.

That particular one is not mine, but I do have a new one that will be painted to match my car color in black, including the outer chrome ring! It's a Wald inner grille! Mine will be painted!

Thanks. So what kind of black paint finish are you aiming for: a glossy or satin finish? Do you know what type of paint finish is shown on that Wald inner grille in your photo? In my case, only the horizontal slats will be painted, not the outer chrome ring. I think I will like the contrast between the chrome and the black, and I want the Lexus emblem to pop.

Default Wheel Update Progress!

Ready to Ship!




Here's a finished product of the Individ Wheels I have coming for the LS460L project! Our very own ClubLexus member SocalSC4-Bob is the wheel maker and owner of Individ Wheels! Great guy to do business with!

The Wheel is the same wheel I have on the GS-"Theory"! It's designed with a Brushed Aluminum face, Polished windows, Chrome lips, and a Anthracite barrel. The front lip has a 3" lip and rear with a 4" lip! Should compliment the LS very nice, to my tatse!

Can't wait to see these on your car. Had the pleasure of meeting Bob on a couple occasions over the years, every time I talked to him he was dropping knowledge. Glad to see he's still making these.

Still waiting on progress pics!�� The car pictured is only an inspirational pic of what I want it to appear like.?��Hopefully an update soon!������


Went to talk to the owner about the cost and what was needed to make it all happen and we agreed that the cost at this shop was more than anticipated? Decided to pulll the car and parts to the shop that did the work on my GS!(Hi-Tech Collision Auto Bodyshop)! Let's see if we can get it going?�� I did get a wheel/tire test fit in before leaving? Test fit with a 315/25/22!
