Looks nice chopped in that ride height. I also like the wheels...my comment is that it's a bit dated on an '04. Once you drop it, it will match-up nicer.

Unfortunately I did it really quick so that's the only size I have. If you want send me the link or email me the original photo and I'll re-do it.

I like the Yellow for the Calipers, just be sure to use the right kind of paint. (High Heat) As far as the Caliper Decals... I got them off of Lexus Owners Club Forum. There is a Company in London that made them. I think I got them for $20 including shipping but you can probably have them made just as easy. I didn't realize that until I got them in. I assumed they would be made out of some kind of special material but they are just vinyl. You can check with any company in your town that makes vinyl decals and tell them what you want. You can get the Lexus Logo online and tell them what size you want. I think the front are 6" and the rear is like 2.75" (I would measure the spot on the caliper you will put them just to be sure though.) Good luck with the mods... post some pics soon so we can all check them out.

yep yep yep- looking good. i would suggest lowering the car or putting on a lip kit to help it give the lowered look.



honestly man, lowering it will make it seem like a TOTALLY DIFFERENT CAR. i never realized the difference until I lowered my 2nd gen GS.

good luck!
