Did you have to remove fenders for the wheel and tires to fit?

Not sure that’s really necessary…

What tire sizes?
Looking at 9.5 +35 for the back with OEM tire sizes (AS4's) and thought they'd be quite close to fenders (I'm on Swift springs)

installed FIGS AOS, had to do some minor tweaks to make it fit better for the IS500.
Geared more for the RCF/GSF engine bay


bought the drain kit along with it. routed it to the same opening on belly panels where you access Oil Filter.

After a long 8 month wait finally received my Personalized License plates from California. Almost forgot about ordering them since it has been so long.
I went with something different instead of the typical "IS500".
I went with the chassis code, USE30. Most people will see it and not think much of it.






some extras photos that my friend took of the car this week.

Picked up Carbon Addicts Carbon fiber covers. Ended up buying both but will end up using the Forged version. (Forged version wasn't an option to during preorder only the Tweel)

LEMS Carbon Fiber Front and Sideskirts finally arrived!


(pictured also is TOMs Carbon Fiber Spoiler that I ordered, ended up selling this off)









Picked up an Aimgain spoiler as well. Decided to go more of an OEM+ look instead of the TOMs CF one.
Here's all the Spoilers next to each other. Noticed the Aimgain is pretty much the OEM spoiler but flares out more towards the tip area. I like a lot! going to be color matching the spoiler instead of it black. I purchased this spoiler used and it looks like its painted Caviar black (with all the flakes in the paint)
