Hello everyone, so I am new to the forum and lexus family and wanted to show you guys the new ride. I love the car as it's but I'm looking into making some exterior upgrades. the thing is I don't know where to start. What would be the few tweaks and changes i can make to improve the exterior look right away. tell me what y'all think? Thanks!

Congrats on your new car and welcome to CL.

I think new wheels will really make it stand out. Followed by a nice drop.

Thanks! I was thinking f-sports springs? Can anyone post a pic to see the difference between stock and f-sports springs? Don't want a very low drop as I drive around in my car all day and don't want to be at the body shop every weekend
