I am thinking of painting the calipers black and throwing a Lexus decal on them...one day when I get less lazy and have some time

Car looks great. Now you just need to update your sig pic to show off how good your car looks.

BTW, nice choice of wheels. I have the extact same setup except 17x8 front and rear.

I haven't done an alignment yet...I've got this hardcore vibration at 70 mph only...not at 80, not at 85, not at 60, only at 69-70-71 mph....I am hoping the alignment will take care of that whenever I can find sometime to get that done...taking a road trip (1000 miles round trip) in about a week, I don't think I can get the alignment before then...

my 19s never came with hub rings and i got a good alignment done and i still get vibrations at 70, but its very minor. hopefully with your alignment and you rolling on 17s it will dissapear.

xirforever, thanks for the tip! I will do that when I find time to repaint those, they didn't come out as nice as I had hoped the first time. My question is how did you get them OUT of the bumper? When I painted them I just left them in and masked off everything around them.

I have hubcentrics on 3 out of my 4 wheels, I couldn't find the 4th one

Thanks xknow, I'll try to remember that, but I have rotational tires, so how would I flip them?

lighthalo, I used AeroTect yellow film on the foglights.
