I want to take a moment to thank Aroldo and Danny @ Deviate Autosport for helping me in this build practically every step of the way!

For anyone who's in Houston, TX. or any nearby areas, do not hesitate to take all of your automotive needs to Deviate Autosport.
Be it a simple tune up, diagnostics, exhaust work, wheel repair, paint/body, or even a full vehicle wrap, this guy does it all!

They specialize in vehicle wraps, be it a trim wrap, a roof wrap, a wheel wrap, or the whole vehicle, they will wrap anything and everything.
(This guy has a speaker on his desk that's wrapped in carbon fiber for Pete's sake...)
He even has customers who ship their Ferrari's across state to get their vehicle wrapped. O_O;

The owner (Aroldo) is so **** in his works, that even the Vossen center caps has to be in the same perfectly centered orientation as the stamped casting on the wheel. Check the pictures below!

They definitely do not shy away from any challenges and have been more than helpful getting my build to where it is today.


If anyone is ever in the area, definitely pay them a visit and tell them that Brian w/ the white Lexus sent ya'

LoL, I forgot I added those edge guards. Yup they've surely saved me quite a few times already. In fact some person scraped their bumper turning into a parking spot, and the edge guard took the brunt of the damage, so I'm happy with them.

Not too sure I'll go JoeZ exhaust as I think it'll be too loud with headers. Have an F-Sport axle back exhaust planned for the future at the moment.

The dealer added the spoiler as part of the deal when I got the car, so I'm not entirely sure where they got it. I believe it's just taped on. At least I'm hoping so :X.

Thanks for the kind remarks, the Vossens in this particular setup sure are heavy though. I think it's like 30lbs front and 31lbs rear. I definitely felt a difference in performance and amount of braking power needed to stop the car now. But the looks can't be beat

Hey there, hoping you get your rubbing situation sorted.

I have some cheap tires on right now called Accelera Phi, they were the only thing in stock locally in those sizes.

I researched and researched, but didn't find many options in 225/30/20(F) and 255/30/20(R).
The Hankook Ventus v12 Evo1 in those specs are discontinued.

The Michelin PSS, I know from experience on prior setup, that they run on the wider sides and hence didn't want to go with them again, plus they're hard to locate due to demand.

The Nitto tires which are known for stretching didn't have them in the specs for both.

So yeah it was pretty slim pickings
