Hello all
New to the club. Got my 2009 is 350 last year. haven't done much for the past year. looking to build slowly.
my thoughts in order and not all at the same time :-)
1. body kits - front lip, roof/trunk spoiler
2. wheels - any tips on websites where i can find wheels. i've been to element wheels and nextlevelmonitoring. what is the absolute limit on wheels before rolling fenders gets involved. looking to get 18x8.5 and 18x9. not sure if more than those specs, rubbing will happen.
3. spring - dont think i can spend that much $$$ on coils - have my eye on TEIN S springs
4. audio - tips on adding sub and amp - can it be a DIY?
5. Headlights - convert to one with DRL running LED strips
6. Carbon Fiber interior -
Will appreciate any tips on make/brands of equipment, youtube videos
BTW, saw that NorCal has a CL meetup. Would love to join them if possible (hopefully a stock car can join :-))
Thanks everyone. Excited to get this build going. Will post pics as I go along. pics attached

tips on changing the lights so they are all consistent. i have HID on low beams, not sure on how to change the fogs so its HID also

 

 

one of cleanest 09's I've seen, beautiful color congrats !

I always tell folks to take care of the maintenance stuff first before modding.
I'm all for making the car look good but it's all futile if it's sitting on the side of the road, or not running optimally.
happy motoring!

 

just wanting to share the latest
installed H&R springs around 2 weeks ago. handling has been awesome. she's still a little jumpy on bumps, but i expected that on springs

 

Makes it so much better , right? I have H&R too and it’s smooth until big dips or bumps.
