probably nothing. I hardly drive these days so I may not replace my car as I dont need it right now. may even get a beater for the little driving I do these days and get a toy to park in the garage.

You should buy my BBK

DAAAAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!! Nice looking ride Ron. Man you have really done an amazing job with the Lexus. I like your style man. You keep tweaking it until its 100% perfect. I think you are done man. There nothing else that the car need. A+++++

GL. she's looking quite nice man!
Yeah wish I knew how! definitely post sound clip once your done.

Thanks guys....truly loving the setup....
@triniGS yeah Vossen make some nice wheels. I like the option of having a +32 with a 35 series tire up front and no rubbing issues. I just wish a slightly more aggressive offset in the back like say a +37 (I know, I know for you guys in the +20 and under my idea of aggressive is too conservative)
