Smile Goodies arrived!! Spring make over begins :D

I'm so glad winter is over, and spring is here, the weather has been beautiful lately, and I can finaly start to put the modz on. Got the rims this past weekend, as well as the side signal light covers. Also the Fabulous kit will go on this weekend. other mods that will go on are:

OEM rear trunk spoiler
Lowering springs
Tanabe Exhaust
F-sport intake
ipod integration
custom sub setup

here are a few pictures, I will post some after pictures when the kit is on. Rims will probably go on in a week or so. Just holding out to see if there will be any more snow....you never know what you gonna get in Canada. thanks for looking guys!!!




I only have 1 picture of the rim, so here's another angel





here is a photoshop Seize did of what the car will look like with the wheels and dropped, close enough

iSuxeL, the mirrors are jdm, and they are around 180 with shipping from over seas, there's a thread about this, and passnu2 already installed it on his.

tfz, yeah, it's unpainted, I didn't want them to paint it, because GFM is a very hard color to match, so I let my local lexus body shop paint it for me.

What size are the rims? And what springs did you get?

I'm definitely gonna stay on this thread to see the pics, i'm getting a 250 AWD and i'm still not quite sure what size rims and drop to get.

^^they are 18's

I'm still not sure whether to go with the f-sport or the roadmagnets, don't want something to sit too low, but don't want to drop it and then i doesn't look like a drop. I'll probably have to make a decision soon, as I don't want to put the rims on and no drop :S

Hey Lexboi,

I'm from Toronto too. I wouldn't recommend installing the rims yet. It may snow again. I'm still waiting for my SSRs to arrive from Japan. It's been 4 weeks already. Those JDM mirrors look pretty sweet. Where did you get them?

really? man, just when you thought its all over.....

I store my car underground, and I don't drive to work, so if it snows, I'll just leave it there. But what worries me more is our pot hole issue in the city, it's insane!
