Talking Work, LX-Mode, LED Tails, mods almost complete for summer 2009 :)

Almost forgot! Big thanks for a few members here who helped me with this new look (not in any order):

Passnu2 (for answering many questions about offsets after seeing his car)
Chadley6mt (for helping me decide which color to go with and the photoshop)
JDub23 for helping me install the tail lights
is2seattle (for answering numerous questions about the LX-mode) and
CM09578 for the fast shipping on the led tails!

It's been a while since I last posted updated pictures of the car, here she is! Finally got the wheels about 2 weeks ago, and this weekend was the first time I got her detailed up, man these new work wheels are hard to clean, but not complaining I've also added the LX-mode grille, emblem and the holder to it as well as ebay LED tail lights. Not a great photographer, just have a point and shoot camera, however, I'm learning as we speak, will have a DSLR very soon I have one more mod left for the summer, and I will update with more pics once it's done. enjoy!

Thanks for the compliments guys! Yeah, i know, i need to go lower, i realized that as soon as they installed the rims :S, will probably get coils next year as my wallet is drained for this year. I went for the staggared look, 19x8.5 all around, with staggared offsets +38 in the front and +32 in the rear. 3 inch lip size for the rear wheels. SC1's are getting popular for the 2nd gen IS, but still pretty rare here north of the boarder so i should be keeping these for a while :P

19x8.5 all around???????
wow,,that's pretty conservative if you ask me..
I went with 19x9 and 19x10.5 and I thought I was little conservative

anyways,,looks great regardless
