Thanks for your ideas. I saw your ride and it did look nice but I don't know if
I can handle the ride of 20" tires

 

it's really not that bad.... you only notice if you run over something you shouldn't be running over in the first place, and for me... I've had primarily sports cars prior to this... so it's more a sport car feel, but still comfortable.

more importantly... you gotta be careful not run into curbs and over potholes... damaged wheels is more a reality than stock... but you can still destroy a stock wheel....

This is how you should do it if you want to stay conservative. I have heard the others saying 20"s are the way to go but for me this is as far as I wanted to take it without really messing up the ride. 20's give the ideal look but with the drop too much is sacrificed IMO. Chroming the wheels is fine as long as you get a good price; I think it cost me around $550 for the swap. Staying with a stock wheel is ideal if you’re going to drop it like this. I did the DF 2" drop and with that I knew I didn't want to go any further with changing wheel size. I love the feel of the 2" drop, I do have to be more aware of driveways and so forth but it handles better and if you are not driving on rough roads it feels just fine.

 

Full clear bra? Yes! Chrome wheels? Depends on what style wheel.

 

I got my GS300 on Christmas Day of 05. I got my clear bra installed in Mid Jan 06. Unfortunately, not before I got a nick on the bumper. The place where I had it installed in Maryland also does the installation for Team Lexus. They put the clear bra on the whole bumper (including the lights and fog lights), the hood and the side mirrors. The price was about $1100. We had two cars done and got a discount.

I was a little concerned about being able to see the clear bra because of the color of my car (Glacier Frost Mica). If you look real hard you CAN see it. Most people do not notice or do not know what it is.

I had the Clearbra added to hood, fenders. and mirrors. I think will have the front bumpers done also. The wheels are getting chromed I would like to add a body hit too. If guys have any more ideals please feel free to share them.

Thanks soo much

 

INVISISHIELD is a must to keep our toys safe.

For example, when I got my LS430 I did not bother to add the clearbra to it. After few months of driving, front bumper and the hood were violated and raped by sands and stones, almost looked like MOON's surface.

So when I got my GS350 for my BD, I had the dealer to INVISISHIELD the hood, fenders, full bumper, rear lower fender, mirrors, headlights, and foglights. Therefore INVISISHIELD IS MUST !!!

About chorming the wheels, that is just OLD SCHOOL and CHEAP LOOKING!!!

Yes the chroming is old school but so am I and in my opion it
does not look cheap.

 

wow, does look nice

 

Beauty is in the eyes of beholder! As long as you enjoy your shining shoes!

IMO, I'll never get chrome wheels in my life, but the clear bra is a good investment.
