Yep, 20" rears, 19" fronts. I shaved the fenders quite a bit, both back and front... it still rubs pretty bad in the front and I'm not even as low as I'd like to be.... I've got to pull the wheels off this weekend and see if I can grind away some more **** in the wheel wells.

Hi guys,

I come here for picking up some ideas for my SMG IS220D.
Yes, an D . I believe I'm the first one in this thread
I'm living in Europe, and we drive diesel To bad it isn't that good, Audi, BMW, Mercedes do have lots of fine 6 cylinder diesels! Over 300Hp....!

Saw lots of nice cars here, got already some ideas!

I have to get rit of my exhaust, I need those sexy two pipes (on a diesel there no nice exhaust). I'm planning to change my rear bumper with a IS250 version and buy a custom made exhaust.
The towbar is removable.

Pls tell me, where do you get that Shark Fin antenna?


Done:
- tinting (55% front (law), 30 rear)
- tuning to 210HP / 495Nm
- 18" ROTA wheels (need new ones!)
- Xenon
- Flyaudio
- Roofspoiler (removed) / trunkspoiler
- Red outs
- BC coilovers
- PDC rear
- Rear camera


Plans:
- Double exhaust like ISx50
- 19" wheels, low ET / spacers
- JUN of Lexon roofspoiler
- Shark fin antenna (fake)


Just bought:


After some additions:

I think the English name is towbar? It is ment for trailers, etc.


And yes, happy to see some other Lexus fanatics :P
