Thanks again everyone!

Just got new wheels for it yesterday, hoping to track down coilovers/tires soon and then all of that will go on. We'll have it all documented and plan to put it in an upcoming issue (Issue 21, to be released around June) so stay tuned! We'll also have the car in our booth at ImportAlliance Atlanta in April and Formula D Atlanta in May, feel free to stop by and say hi!

Here's a quick look at the wheels too, trying to decide if we want to leave them as is (not always a huge black on black fan, although they could look pretty cool) or go with a custom finish.

Man, ever since Cliff had these on his G35 sedan ive wanted to see them on an SC. Hurry up and get some tires on there! What kind of coilovers are you looking for? Id recommend k-sports personally, Ive had them on my past two cars and loved the crap out of them. They ride fantastic on full soft and you can stiffen them up to where they will make your face hurt on every bump.

We're hoping to work with one of our current advertisers since they support our mag, gotta see if that'll work out or not. If not, we're up for just about anything, haha.

Yea, this is working out so far . I don't drive it quite daily (have a stock Honda Fit which does better with downtown Atlanta's awful roads and gets 35-40mpg), but the Lexus sees plenty of street time and usually does fine.
