Talking Major upgrade after 4 years of owning!

Here are my new setups after 4 years of owning the car.
I changed the ss brake lines, but did not take the photograph.
I have the Lexus and IS350 sign shave off.
Installed the GFX rear lower spoiler.
Changed the rims.
Changed the brake disks.
Changed the exhaust.
Sorry for the horible pictures. I don't have a nice camera so I took it from my Iphone.

The wheels EXE Evolve 20x9 F 35 offset 20x10 rear 40 offset. Bought it from ERIC at WheelStudio. Very nice guy to deal with.



Front


Rear


Slotted brake disks



Exhaust





What do you guys think of this setup?

Thanks guy. I am located in Granada hills. Where is the weekly meet for 818 people? I really like the looks of 20, but the tires are too thin. The ride is more rough than the stock.
