yeah im with OC 335i on this one . . . i would definately do drop and wheels first (what i am currently doing). As for kits, i really am not impressed yet. I would get a lip, and MAYBE the fabulous rear canards, but besides that ill wait til a better kit comes out.

I'm going to be different...
I dont think the stock rim options are that bad. I would get one of the non-stock Lexus 18" and the Lexus ground effects kit and still have 500 left over for tint and an intake. But thats just me. I think a full body kit is overkill and i just dont think the g-spiders/ISPs are that bad. I think goin this route keeps the lexus classy, not that rims can't be done well and look good, but i think a lot of the time people go too far with them.

There is nothing worse than stock rims with a kit.

My rules are exactly the same as shern's. Wheels and drop together. But I would go exhaust or body kit and exhaust at the same time.

wheels : to your taste.....and more unique than body kit.

body kit is cool, but if you go for OEM, it's nothing unique..... (generally the "unique" body kit(s) are mostly ugly.......)

As for the body kit, I would wait for something "groundbreaking." All the kits out there still look like an add-on, rather than unique body styling/design.

If you install a body kit with stock wheels you might as well be driving a Mazda6.
