thanks for the compliments everyone. Yea I like it alot, i still cant decide what i want to do first. I really want wheels but im afraid to mess with the shocks and springs mainly because the roads around here are horrible. Are there any combos of wheels that dont look too bad without lowering? otherwise itll probably be some dress up stuff for the engine and the srt intake. what to do what to do.....
thanks again

Obviously, aftermarket wheels will make a huge visual impact, especially since you already have a bodykit on the car. But I don't think any aftermarket wheel combo (18"+ sizing) will look right without lowering. I suggest you ask local members (who have aftermarket wheels/lowered their cars) for a ride so you can judge for yourself whether or not you can live with the degradation in ride quality after lowering. That's the only way you'll know for certain.
I actually talked to a total stranger one night who had a number of mods I was interested in (coilovers,19" wheels), and he let me drive his car! I've found that there are plenty of friendly Lexus enthusiasts out there willing to lend a hand.

btw, one drive with wheels/coilovers and I was sold.

The L-Tuned springs/shocks will make a big improvement in looks (about an inch drop all around) and handling without sacrificing ride quality. Coilovers are better because they're usually adjustable in height and/or stiffness. You need to meet some locals with suspension mods to see what it's like.
