Default So It Begins...

Got my Lexus in December 2014. Finally about to do some work on it. First time doing any of this to a car, so thought it'd be smart to document it. So it begins...

12/6/14
'Twas the night...



2/19/15
Got my tint. 5% in the back and 15% on the front two.





More to come in two weeks...

Exclamation Coming to Life

New chrome delete (windows/grill), skirts, front fangs, splitter, black vinyl wrapped roof & shark fin on 8/28/21 - loving this look right now. Next mod will be a new diffuser (most likely Tom's) and figuring out how to install this Invidia q300 w/quad titanium tips exhaust, that's sitting in my garage. Also, might raise the car a hair, due to slight rubbing on the rear-driver tire

Nice wheels and stance How did you accomplish the drop? And what tires are you running now?

Default Tire Size & Updates

Thanks! So, I do NOT recommend these tires. My rear tires rub with passengers in the rear, on any dips, and my super aggressive hill of a driveway. If there are no passengers in the rear, it’s hardly noticeable, but I still wish I got smaller tires. Here’s the tire specs: 235/35r19(front) and 265/30r19(rear). If I could go back, I would get 225/35r19 and 255/30r19… oh well, I can live with these tires for a year and I’ll throw on some smaller ones.

Also, this past week, installed 2017+ valence diffuser, rear window visor, and rc350 invidia q300 axlback exhaust with titanium quad tips. Here’s a sneak peek!

Just a random pic from a car meet.

hi, what front splitter is that? i have the same front lip (but a knockoff, not the TRD one). i was gonna get something like a cheap EZ Lip to go underneath but I like yours!
also, in your front view pic, are the support bars not symmetrical? i think you have to move one of them a bit to get it symmetrical
