It's only a matter of time before I pick up a higher mileage toy car IS300. I want to find a 5 speed, but will settle for whatever dependent on price. These cars are so solid.

Alright I've haven't been keeping this thread 100% up to date. Some have probably seen my posts on my.is, but for the rest of you this is what has been going on with my car...
I got some JDM Window Visors, and Altezza short antenna... (no real pics of these)
Tanabe Front and Rear Sway bars. Definately stiffened the car up. Car understeers more now though, needs a thicker, or solid rear sway to even it out...
Ray's Blue Extended lut nuts...
Falken FK 452's 215/40/18 and 235/40/18
SSR Carbon Fiber Center Caps...
SSR Professor MS1 in Gold
18x8 +37 Super Low Disk
18x9 +37 Super Low Disk
However, because of timing and me wanting to make things a little easier, THIS is preventing me from having the wheels on right now... I figured it would be easier to roll the fenders to fit the wheels than guessing on how much I needed to roll.
I just put them on today to see how they fit with tires and everything to get a feel for how much work needs to be done. Stock wheels are back on and I SHOULD be rolling my fenders on Monday. I'm also trying to decide if I need some spacers...

Well here they are. All four fenders are rolled. These pictures are before my alignment was done. I had -3.5* of camber on both rear wheels, and almost 1* of Toe on each as well. Once I get my tail lights I will have some better pictures taken!

My camber is now at -2.5* and -2.8* in the rear, with toe at .09* on each. The fronts are -2.3* and -2.7* with toe at .04* and .05*. I definately need some Front Upper A arms and Rear lower control arms to get my camber down a little bit. That would make the front a little more flush and the rear as well.
But I'm still rubbing on my rear passenger side. I need to go back over the fender. But for now, all four are taped up to show where I'm rubbing.

very nice and clean
i cant wait to finish up my ride
what kinda adhesive or trim did you use when installing the lip
the black outline of the lip is a nice touch
was that intentional or accidental?

The black outline is gaskets from Toyota. I found the part numbers on my.is and went and ordered them. I didn't want them to be as obvious before I did them, I was actually looking for grey gaskets, but I like how it breaks up the lines now. This is what I used...
I found the part number for the gasket I used on my rear lip. It's a rubber T gasket used in a couple Toyota applications I think. One piece is long enough for the entire rear lip.
Toyota PN #76875-06020-C0
Like stated before, this is the molding piece I used for my front lip, you need 2 of them to do the entire front lip.
Toyota PN #61783-35071
These are just the pieces that I have found and used, there are probably more and other applications as well.
