Default My 2015 GS350 FSport -- Obsidian/Red

Gents,
Just my regular ole' F-Sport. Bought her used, clean title, 1 owner, 35k and some small, what i consider, regular blemishes!

Attached are some pictures after i got her detailed.



From the Front!


From the Side!

Springs and Spacers!


Will post some before and after pictures of her when i get the springs/spacers installed in the next few days!

PS. i also have some small things i have planned; front splitter, black out chrome trim, and re-tint my windows. Really excited for the final product. Those photos should be around next week mid week!

In the 619 if any of ya'll want to meet up after i get all the mods done and maybe hit a small photoshoot!

Installed today by my new favorite shop RNZ Conceptz. Picked her up after sun down though. Some crazy gas leak in SD backed up traffic in every direction near me. Will take and post pics tomorrow!

From the side


Running +15mm FR/+20mm RR. H&R Trak+ spacers
Tanabe NF210

Kept looking around the forum and decided on this route for my stance.

Thanks to Meraki Autoworks for the springs and spacers!
Thanks to RNZ Conceptz in SD for the install!

Default Thats it!

Gentleman!

All my planning and mods are complete. with the exception of maybe someday a rear window spoiler and some wheels. but for now. what i consider my beauty is complete and 100% enjoyable to my eye. I LOVE IT!



FRESH!



at home!


Comparison photo! Before/After.

I was also thinking about touching up the rear emblem, and debadging the GS 350 and F sport logos. Make her look clean. havent decided yet!

Anyway, what ive noticed thats most important is that, I LOVE what ive done to my car. which is what is most important to me. Just clean and flashy enough that you have to know about our community. but not flashy enough to the point where COPS and *******s bug us. I just love a clean car with a slight aggressive look to her. and i think ive accomplished that!

Special thanks to:

Meraki Autowerks
RNZ Conceptz
SD Wrap

Without the quality work of these folks, my project would not be where she is today!

Great improvement, really nice. I may do the same spring and spacer combo.

Would you mind posting all the part numbers in your original post?
It's a great resource for others in the future...and me right now.

Did you use the DRM or DRS spacers?
Any alignment challenges?


Edit I looked up the H&R spacer part numbers:

DRS (includes longer studs, need a shop or press, more info here)
15mm 30656014
20mm 40656014

DRM (has its own studs, easy bolt-on -- these are harder to find, more info here)
15mm 3065602
20mm 4065600

I also had rear alignment challenges: there is no factory rear camber adjustment.
Needed to swap the camber arms with Specialty Products 72450.

i didnt keep the alignment sheet, but she did have to get realigned after the drop. Toe was on point, and camber was slightly more negative, but nothing too crazy.

Josh at Meraki Autowerks can help you with the part numbers. and ordering them!

See my post above:
H&R DRM spacers (has its own studs, easy bolt-on -- these are harder to find, more info here)
15mm 3065602
20mm 4065600

I can't pass inspection w spacers, so these are easy to install and remove, no need to worry about studs.
Got mine on ebay, and there might be some for sale in the classifieds.
