Pure - I am late is responding but like what you did - car looks like new. Wheels look good - They are tight and tuck with little clearance. Now you make me wish I went for 20's since I am sitting on my 18's. Oh well I like what I have and won't spend any more money on this one.
I like the tinted corners. Your grill surround looks metallic - not sure how you did that - overall it looks sweet - nice job and it was worth the wait bro

People saying lower the car? Are you crazy? rofl.. That is as low as it needs to be, any lower and it would be silly imo.
Anyhow.. my critique.
Car looks immaculate -- Beautiful black.
It is unique, a good thing. Rims a different than others. -- I like the sizing, the depth, and the general 5 star pattern. But the thickness of the stars isn't quite wide enough for my taste. But I'm very picky on rims. They look great.
The v8 symbol is a nice subtle touch. Hows the back look?
The blacked corners are a nice touch. However with the lights I would show the fogs. They looked blacked as well. Are they? I think showing them would increase appearance not diminish.
Grill black looks great.
Tint looks great -- Only thing, I would change the front strip to curve slightly the opposite way -- Where it looks straight, not curved downward. But if you like it that way, great.
Exhaust -- I'm not a fan of the up tips. But you obviously like them.
Grille - Like I said blacked looks great, goes with car theme. However I would take it off and chrome/silver the Lexus emblem. The emblem being black doesn't go well imho. Easy to do, and it would pull some of the chrome stripping to the front, a better blend.
Windows - Did you install a rain guard on the sides? Or is that factory? -- I'm not so sure about that. I think it might look better without it, but then again it adds a little something. It is minor in any case.
Taillights -- Definitely would look better clear. The clear/red/clear or however they are would be nice. (I know you said you were finished, but that is minor)
Anywho - Car looks fantastic, one of a kind, have you done anything on the inside? Any pics of interior?
Take care

To the 20's are too big for First gen (Statement). --
I agree,.. I think 18's are the ideal size. 17's barely larger than factory, and 19's work, but 18 looks better.
You have to lower the car with 18's (as any wheel) -- Even lowering on stock looks better.
I prefer a subtle lowering, something like twice the spacing PD has. (IE: 8-10mm (two key widths) ).
What size do you guys think first gens wear the best?
