Nicee, at least you've got some good options. I'm probably going to go a little lower all around, I just haven't gotten around to making it happen. I'm also going to bring my camber up a little more so I get some more poke.

I feel your pain, mine ripped off about 30 mins after I put it on... and I ran it over

As far as what I did today, I ordered a case of 12 squash air fresheners. 1 for the car, 11 for everywhere else!

Finally installed my LS400 calipers and rotors. About time! Then I washed my car, it's been sitting awhile and pretty filthy. Even drove it to work today

Excuse the instagram pic

The wheels are 18x7.5 +43 that's why I was going to get them rebarreled. But now I'm going to sell them because I found a set of 17" GT-Ps that I am going to step lip instead. They will look something like this:
