Default Lowered with new shoes

Just picked her up a month ago. Decided not to post pics until I had some mods. Yes I know a need a bodykit, but Im having a difficult time locating one for the 09s. Slim pickings for the 09s. For now, I got her lowered on some Eibachs with some 20inch vossens.

Not bad man, there are lipkits for the 09 front here, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-bodykits.html you can use any sides and rear.

I looked into the Vertex but to my understanding they arent making them for the 09s. Or did I assume incorrectly

FALSE! I have 06-08 Vertex rear and side skirts on my 09. The front is yet to come out according to them. The mold was just completed a few weeks ago.

This should answer your questions for 09 exterior modifications - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...laination.html

Thanks for the clarification. So does that mean that your driving your car with just the sides and rear? Does it look funny without the front.

It doesn't look bad at me the rear and sides look aggressive and the front just looks stock. I don't see it all at once so it doesn't bother me lol. I'm just waiting for the 09 vertex front to come out.
