Default Got the wheels on and "black pearled" the emblems...

Used the tips as found in this diy thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...e-emblems.html

They came out darker than I wanted(you really have to go light on the coats to get that black pearl look) but overall i actually like the look. The crappy cell phone pic makes them look darker than they really are.

The Vossen CV4's are 20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +45

Tein Comfort Sports. Most comfy coilover setup I've felt.
