Oct. 13, 2010

---------------

So little update.

Today i test fitted my wheels from the Audi (5x112) on the IS (5x114.3). I remembered that although Lexus measurement was 5x114.3 the wheels are drilled for 5x112. Both stock Lexus wheels are ET45 as well as my BBS LM Reps. That said, here it is:

First pic is a little blurry



2nd shows how much of a gap there is on stock suspension and 18x8.5 wheels. I'm going to go cry now.

thanks man. yeah after messing for about 20 minutes with the liner behind the wheel, i was then able to access the fogs. then found out they changed the bulbs . oh well. have a set of HID bulbs/harness from DDMtuning on the way.

So i was planning on getting these (courtesy of Sewell)



only to find out that I already had them haha. the other I actually pulled out the sills and found that there was a connection from the plug into the sill. i thought, weird, why's that plugged in? Just tonight I got a little bored and left my interior lights to "DOOR" and when I opened up the door the sills lit up haha. oh the joy

i might have overlooked it, but what package did you get when you got the car? luxury?

I was "building" an IS350 AWD at lexus.com based on my zip code, and only a navigation option show up...

Package A... is Navigation
Package B... is Navigation and rear spoiler

Are there more? Or is it because my local Lexus dealer barely has a 2011 inventory right now?

I did the same for an IS250 AWD and I see package C, D, and E
