Well, You guys were right! The wheels are starting to grow on me. Here are a couple of pics with mod's made.

Added F-Sport springs, The car dropped more than I thought it would, Maybe extra weight in a 450h? none the less I love the look!

Added window tint.

Next up....Paint the top black, maybe exhaust?

Thanks for the advice guys!

 

Looks great! Very clean. What wheels are you running on? Did you install the springs yourself, or have the dealer install.

 

Thanks,

Wheels are Foose- F-136 20X8.5 all the way around, look more expensive than they were.

I had the dealer install my springs, I more than likely paid a couple hundred more to have them install. Also this was the first 450h they had ever done, it took them a lot longer to install than they thought, but the guys as the dealership where drooling after the install.

Mike,
Your car looks clean dude. You paint that roof and its going to just set it off. Nice choice in keeping them. I love the color scheme you have going on.
Good luck and thanks for sharing

Thanks Ron! Can't wait to see your new wheels soon.

 

Your car is a beauty. I would leave the roof alone.

 

Looks smooth as is.........an exhaust wouldnt hurt, but your car looks perfect they way it is right now. Just keep that bad boy clean, and enjoy the ride.

 

Mike,
You could get the vinyl roof. That way if you don't like it you can peel it off, but looking at the other matador red cars with the black roofs I think you'll like it just my opinion.
Get the tanabe exhaust you'll like it. I have posted a thread of mine with sound clips.

 

congrats and thx for sharing, another modded GS450!

 

Great pics..

 

Mike-

If you dont mind me asking, which dealership did the install and how much? Im in Wa also and am interested in doing the F-Sport drop. Thanks!

 

looking good so far.. i wonder how the exhaust will sound on 450h.

 

I had Lexus of Tacoma in Fife do the work, they did a good job. Worth it to me as it took them the better part of 10 hours to install, I think they lost money on the job.That being said, the cost to install parts are fixed by Lexus.

Springs cost $299
Install cost $400
Total with tax $777

I know you can get it done a lot cheaper, but considering this was the first 450h this dealership has ever done, it's not likely the local spring shop would have had clue one on how to install, the 450h is a lot more complex than a regular GS, according to the service guys.

A drop always helps with looks. Great job.

 

love the color
