thanks everyone for the kind replies... i've been waiting patiently to gather all these parts so i could do it all at once.
the coilovers I got as a hookup... and I cannot disclose the price i got it for.... but let's just say you wouldn't believe how much I got'em for![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
the wheels are actually custom offsets 18x8f and 18x9rear ... both with a +33 offset... and I agree.... these rims are similar to those you'd find on a 240. But i like the look... and you can't go wrong with the amount of lip in the rear
those green calipers... haha... took me forever because i actually had to grind them down considerably... the rims aren't setup for big brakes.... and so i had to use a spacer and in addition grind and sand the caliper (not fun... about 5 hours worth total)
Yes that is a dent on the driver side rear (dammit i was hoping it wouldn't show in the pics) some ***-wipe got into a fight at a club next to my car and hit it![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
And yes I'm having condensation problems.... stupid headlights.... i used so much sealant too! I plan to redo it and have the highbeams blacked out also (thanks Tony). And yes those are ECE code HID projectors (bi-xenon).
As for what's next... well i need to raise the car up a bit... the springs are starting to settle and i'm rubbing. When it's done breaking in.... i'll slam it back again and go full stiff (which is still not bad compared to my MR2) so i can maintain the look without rubbing.
JL 10IB4 and JL amp is in also (sounds amazing)... so a Carputer or some kind of audio-video is next.
I don't plan on doing the swap til next year.

Wow, looks really GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you wouldn't mind, once again, how much did you pay for the HKS Hipermax II's? I'm thinking of getting 4 and wonder where a good place to buy them is. You can PM me if you will.
Thanks.

Umma, I like your wheels man, I prefer 19's personally but these look fine, and the car is plenty low enough if you ask me. Just clean out those headlights and you're in the game. I cleaned mine again yesterday and it does make a huge difference, which you already know. All in all I like it alot...
