PMHL, you have the exact set-up that I want. How do you like it now vs. no mods. If I may as what was the total cost for all you have done.

Damn man I love the look of your rims on your car. I wish my rims had those fat lips. Hey maybe us lexus guys from Hawaii should get together and check out each others rides. I've been seeing so many Lexus' modded on the road lately. Can't wait to see when you have all of your goodies on. Great job on your project.



Peace

Guys....

Thanks for the compliments. I couldn't have done it without all of you....esp. the guyz that answered all my lamea$$ questions reqarding fitment and offsets. Thanks for putting up with me....LOL!!!

3dog - Sure...give me a ring!!

Bluelex - Yah....the springs are settling now....it sits lower now. The first set of photos were taken right after the car was taken off the haudralic jack. Now...after a couple days...it looks better.

kutscher - Ummm....i really don't know what my total cost, but I do remember what it cost me for each mod. Frankly....I don't want to know the total....LOL!! But I'm sure its probably higher cuz of shipping to Hawaii....that's my only disadvantage.

Darius - check your email.

Sleepyboi - Yep....found these in Sept....ordered in late October.....it took over a month to arrive from the FL.

GS4fun / Bluelex - Hey guys...thanks for the cleaning advice....but I don't take to the car wash....I do everything myself.

Orkin (Linus) - Yah...we should meet....share ideas, etc.... Yah...its hard doing everything myself or hiring a shop. It would be great to have buddies (with the same enthusiasm for clean modding) that can help. Right now...it's just me, plus what a few dollars can hire when I don't have the right tools.

Hameed - my later pics show the suspension settled a bit lower. I don't want it slammed. Forget the original pics. In fact...I will update the earlier pics.

lexforlife - Thanks bro. I will try to get off my *** this Xmas weekend and paint the calipers. I gotta find a good painter for my TTE lip and bumper.

Thanks again CL bros. Drive safe and Happy Holidays!!

Pete
