Thanks. I was a huge fan of the CV3 but to me this blows it away and adds an even sportier and more sinister look. I also really wanted to show the BBK more and the split spokes do that.

This is a 20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +45 matte graphite finish. Many people do a +32 up front

Now running 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 Nitto Invo Tires

I like the way the CV5 looks on your car even better than the CV3 did!

Nice! The brakes are a nice color contrast and compliment the overall theme.

Love the new shoes, Mike!!! The CV5's definitely look killer! I thought I preferred the CV7s, but you've changed my mind! Can't wait to see it in person next Caffeine and octane!

Thanks guys....

The plan now is to try to finish her up by the winter (I know do we ever finish) to maybe move on to something else next year...maybe even non-Lexus

But need to start/finish the wife's RXh since she is now down to mod b4 I do anything new lol

I want to finally add some performance mods to the car and naturally an intake is an easy add. Looked around and decided to go with Joe-Z as he is a huge Lexus enthusiast and people rave about his products in regards to hp gains and quality. Gotta support the people!

These intakes are usually black or a beautiful "IS F" blue but Joe-Z and I talked about the color scheme and we went over some colors and well, I think he outdid himself.

Matching Joe-Z intake to match the brakes

Can't wait to install it.
