Just do it anyways. instead of black accents, maybe do silver or gunmetal? Never seen or recall anyone with a black Wald kit with a different accent color

Work Gnosis GS4. Anodized bronze lip, matte deep black faces. Price - Priceless. sorry don't like flashing how much I spent. They're Work wheel though, so you know a general range probably.

adjusted my coils a today. lowered the front and the rear is a bit higher now.
now i think it is just a bit to high in the rear. what do you think?


and anyone got the issue that the passenger side is higher? without having anyone in the car..
the coils are exact the at the same setup at both sides..

Yes Hoovey i didnt expect that it will fell off.It cost me 200$ including shipment and our custom and its gon.I m searching for a used one now GFX or WALR rep because if i buy them new it will sertainly stuck to Greek custom so it will cost me to much.I feel lucky to have such a rare car here in Greece but you are all so lucky to have all these stuff for your Lexus in very good prices.

oh interesting idea. would you mind explaining what you mean by accent? i thought the whole kit has to be painted with 1 color (obsidian on obsidian car) only?

^^^i think he means as an example the dip/line on his side skirts is painted black. So in your case if your car is black maybe you can paint that dip like a silver or gunmetal to further accent that dip. Makes the side skirt look more 3 dimentional instead of flat.

Quoted for truth. This is what I meant. And still can't say I've seen anyone with a black car do this. Do it! Or at least have someone Photoshop it so we can see haha
