Default Finally Lowered my F

Finally pulled the trigger to lower my car. Wanted to do this since day 1 back in April of 2012. These pics were taken before i had alignment, height adjustment and balancing done. I just got alignment done yesterday by West End. They did a great job the car feels great.
Lowered on Kw V3. I know i can go lower but my work driveway and garage is kinda steep.looking for a front spoiler atm.
I'm selling my stock suspension (2012) if anyone is interested PM me with an offer. Only 7800 miles on them.

Stock Height vs V3's

Looks good, did you fill in the holes behind the "Lexus" emblem on the back of the car?

2011+ does not have the "Lexus" in the lower left part of the trunk.
Edit: Forgot to say this is the case for USDM cars

My MY 11 had Lexus emblem on lower left trunk and I removed it and there were no holes. The only hole was under the I where the IS F is

I think that is the perfect height. I'm not a big fan of the slammed look. Looks great!

Looks great. About the same height I went with on mine (KW V3's as well).

Looks good with the KWV3! How's the ride quality? I like the new wheels you put on it as well.

The drop looks great! Nice, subtle stance, nothing too over the top! What front lip are you considering?

Looks great! The wheels and the height compliment each other very nicely.
