I did mine on jack stands as well. I had to buy my Borla brand new though. It's not that cramped. I did mine on 3 ton jack stands so you can set it a little higher.

Yeah it's tight. My friends are thin guys too. No way would my gut fit under there.

I've had it on a few weeks now and the sound is just awesome. I'm sure I picked up a few ponies as well. Reminds me of the muscle car days.

Me!

I bought them from there. Took a while to turn up, but fit and finish is pretty good.

Not sure I posted any close-up shots on my thread? Here are a couple over on the UK ISF forum though: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/for...-pillar-trims/

Installation was easy. Just need to make sure you level them right on both sides of the car!

I just finished my Borla install last weekend. Did it in my garage, by myself, on jack stands. Honestly, the most frustration I encountered was removing the stock exhaust. The rubber exhaust grommets are a PITA to get off. Make sure you use plenty of silicone spray and have something to pry them with. Then the lovely plastic panels underneath with the hybrid screw/clip fasteners. Don't even get me started on those things.

The Borla install itself was extremely easy. Fit is perfect; it couldn't have lined up any better.

I also installed a Borla ( about a month or so ago now), but I have a buddy with a lift. The stock exhaust hangers did suck.

Just installed the Xenon Depot 3000k hids for the fogs. Everyone has their unique taste, but I love the slightly blue low beams with the yellow fogs.

Is anyone rolling on Advan GT's? They are offered in 20's which would look amazing on this car. Search yielded no results so I'm thinking not likely

No dyno yet. We're covered in snow here. I won't take out the F until it's clear.
