Nice mont! How do you like them so far? Does chrome match with the black obsidian or does the satin lc818 look better in person! Either way looks good! Also, can I ask you how dark your tint is?

Looks great!! Do you experience any rubbing going over bumps or dips in the road ever?

I am taking my Eibachs off today because the tire is getting torn up by the fender whenever I go over a bump or a dip.

I have the Dynas so they are a +28 offset and I have 235s in the front so I may try 225s next time if you are never rubbing and dropped..

any way to match the rims to the chrome around your windows? It looks too bright now with all the other muted darker tones around the car...
LOL, it was a young person's car the moment I added my first CF piece. I'm a bit older than most of local car guys in my area, but I'm not taking business trips in the Lexus - it's just a fun hobby at this point.

The black chrome LC818s are beautiful and would look absolutely wicked on a white car or all black car. With the CF, it doesn't match as well as I wanted. The tint is 28% all around (I think).

Not much rubbing at all with my current setup (my fenders are rolled and my coils are set for medium dampening). Speed + bumps will cause rubbing, though.

Ugh, sucks.. I fixed the rubbing while turning, but the spacing on top is just so minimal that anytime I go over dips or bumps you can hear a nice loud rubbing sound, so the car is getting the stock spring put back on until I can figure something else out.. maybe IS-F fenders?

Nonetheless, OP those LCs look awesome man, great lookin car
