That looks about right. I also have the Tanabe springs on my LS but with 22" wheels. I have had my set up for a little over 1 year. Here are a few pics.....

Finally we see someone who has put pieces on his LS that enhance the original design not take away from it -- I even like the wheels!

What wald pieces do you have?

I see front lip, rear lower and Lid deck.

List your parts - Would like to do something just like this.

Don't forget that when you're driving, the car will squat a bit so it will uniform in motion...at least in mine it is

do they look right to you? or it's just me...
ah so you're the one who bought the wheels from ebay. i was about to get those but missed the auction end.

wow...awesome look. How are your ride with the Tanabe springs? was it still about stock comfort or alot stiffer?
I am thinking about dropping my wifes car but she would kill me if it loses the Lexus ride!
Also, can someone advise where to get the front lip and rear and how much does something like that cost?

sorry for the misunderstanding i caused, I'm talking about the black car with the HRE"s that posted on this forum. those went up on ebay 3 months ago for $2500 with only 2k miles on them, it was a steal but I didn't pull the trigger fast enough.
