I think the pictures I took will be too large to put in the post, but here's the links.

For the money, this is the best mod I've done. The ride is exactly what I wanted, and it looks like it should have from the factory.

All I need is the TTE lip, and me and the rest of the world can look exactly the same... money

It is a great mod for the money. As you know the car looks 100 times better... Its amazing how a car looks after you lower it

My install last week at my Lexus dealer was $857.00 including a 4 wheel alignment!!!! With a loaner car. I know, THEY ROBBED ME, but I wanted to get it done. They charged $75.00/hour labor for 9 hours work and $119.00 for the alignment. I dropped it off at 7:45AM and it was ready at 4:45PM.

Thanks Jonathan for uploading the pics, but I think one of the after shots slipped in to the before . Every blemish is coming through in those shots.

I paid 325 for the install, but got estimates from there to 850 at dealership. I'm going to let them settle for a week or two before alignment, so I guess add another 85 to that. And no relation to that person. Why do you ask?

All else
Thanks for the compliments.

I was looking in your gallery at your pictures and I am assuming if thats you there, then you look just like Jason Varitek

MAn thats alot of money... I paid 200.00 for the install on my coilovers... and it only took 2 hours but i paid a pretty penny for the coilovers so it looks like I'm the one that spent alot of money LOL
