That’s really cool! Did you have any trouble registering the car and where did you find a UCF31 inl the U.S.? Your profile says you’re in Kansas.

I’ve seen a few cars like R34 Skylines and JDM Toyota sedans like the Chaser running around here in Oklahoma. I’d love to get a Celsior with the OEM lip kit like yours.

Oh! That explains it! The OEM kit looks a lot better than many of the actual aftermarket body and lip kits do. Was it hard to find out there?

I got really lucky and my car came with the front and sides so I just had to get the rear half. But there aren’t too many parts available for the kouki’s (03~06) and it’s getting harder and harder to find, but LOTS of parts available for the Zenki’s (00~03) and they’re cheap too!

Got up a little earlier and took the mountain roads rather than the highway to the trailhead this morning. This thing most certainly doesn't disappoint. Coming from a small hatch (03 Toyota Matrix), this thing is a dream to drive through windy roads. Not quite as nimble, but the extra power and weight smoothens everything out.

These just came in a few weeks ago from japan as a square set (19x8.5). Planning on getting them refinished in a few weeks time then throwing on some summer tires for next year.

Man I wanted a set of those so badly when I had my old benz!
Consider a set of coilovers, that really changed the handling of the car a lot for me, it was just too floaty before for my tastes, especially after the car I came straight out of (d2 chassis S8). Right now though it's a great balance and I love driving it

I’m running 235/40/18 I found that the 20s were going to be too big, I’ve got 15mm spacer all the way around with hub central rings, I wanted to swap the Infiniti log with Lexus can you send me a link where you bought the Lexus logos
