***2019 UPDATES***
over the winter I had my Ark Solus widebody molded to my car. I decided to leave an "edge" on it because the lexus has alot of sharp lines that I believed would look good with the kit. I upgraded my brakes to ISF calipers and brakenetic rotors. I got new AG wheels to go with the carbon fiber of the car and to go with the yellow led strips. I got a Seibon CF hood because I love CF! Speaking of CF I got a bunch of CF overlays for my interior. I got Braum elite series seats along with their harnesses and harness bar. I finally installed my powdercoated tank in the trunk

Sick build man!

Did you have to get your exhaust tips extended out after installing that rear diffuser? if yes, did you just take it to a muffler shop? where did they modify it? what it cost ?

I just ordered the same diffuser and trying to know what to expect about fitment.

Thanks

yeah i had to get the tips modded because they were too sunk in with the seibon rear diffuser i just had a muffler shop do it itll cost around 150-300 i forgot how much it cost for mine. they cut the tips off and added pipping in between. If you wanna go fancy bring it to a place that does stainless steel welding and mod it prior to installing it

Nice car, the widebody is looking insane. Did you have any fitment issues installing the ark solus kit? What wheel and tire size setup did you go with after installing the kit?
