Like I said. ClubLexus is the easy convince. It's the rest of the world...

Edit: In the end, it's your project. You don't need to justify it to me, or anyone else here. Do what works for you and blaze your own trail. Sorry if I came off like I was knocking TRD. That's not the intent. I know TRD's heritage. TRD makes the F parts parts too.

I wouldn't listen to these ppl. It's your car keep the TRD emblem, as long as u think it's hot that's all it matters. Don't forget most of these members run lowering springs and wheels. U have a kit which in my opinion makes the car look a lot better. Everybody has a different style and taste.

I received the TRD emblem from Japan today. I have to admit it looks far better than the one I had on the car.

I do like that emblem better. Your car looks great by the way. I went with the Joe Z intake and the Joe Z axle back. I was thinking of going with the HPS intake I'm curious on any differences between the 2. Also thought of doing midpipes but nervous it will be "ricey" loud

Do you know the specs on your wheels like offset & width? Looking at these & wanting to figure out tires sizes. Oh & are you dropped?

With those conservative specs you won't need a stretch tire because you won't have any rubbing issues. You can go with 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear

The wheel specs are front 19x8 w/45mm offset and rear 19x9 w/60mm offset. Car is not lowered.

I'm looking at 19s though... So I prefer at least a 35 side wall

Thats fine. Being the wheels are staggered you will still want the rear tire profile to be a size smaller so the overall diameters of the tires match, or is at least very close. If you go 35 in the front you will want 30 in the rear. You should use a website like http://www.willtheyfit.com/#isPage=1 to help you figure it out. Overall diameter of front and rear should match as close as possible. Good luck!
