In the pursuit of gap elimination, drop on its way!

Nice! You should get the Apexi Throttle Controller next, the response is nice and it will still be within your OEM stance.

Spacing out the wheels made your car look way more aggressive...thumbs up!

I'm definitely considering it. The throttle response is soft and "OK" in Sport/S+. Surprisingly not as good off the line as my IS250.

Thanks, it helps I agree, but needs a drop. Pics coming!

Dropped! Has to settle maybe another 1/4-1/2" or so but looks much better already!

This is exactly how it should have come from the factory. Absolutely Gorgeous!

Ah I can't take the credit, this is Corrado's thread. I was just commenting on his setup.

Thanks for the comments guys. I got a Hofmann laser alignment done today, 3 weeks or so after the drop. It's amazing how precise this is, measuring in hundreths of degrees!

Would love it if real carbon fiber was available like with the GS F, but this will do for me, for now.

Looks absolutely perfect. That is how it should have been from factory.

^^^ Thanks. Agree. I'd have paid extra from Lexus for a real CF lip.
