Thanks guys. Yea, the weather gave me a lot of room to work with. Didn't have to do much post-processing with a day like that. Now, time to silver out my emblems!

Question

Awesome pics, Texas bro!

Looks like maybe these came about on a return visit to the top of the Shops-at-Legacy parking garage (that's where the NorTexLex group we had a not-so-recent meet and photo shoot)?

Thanks. It was actually on top of the Hill Country Galleria parking garage in Lakeway.

after Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson this is my favorite pair of twins

the only thing i dont feel is the rear lip. for some reason in some pics it makes the back look really huge and bulky. maybe just the pics.

either way awesome cars, awesome pix, and awesome "lexus my anti-drug" t-shirt. where did you get one and how much?

peace out

Yeah, I can see where some might not like that. I think it makes the car really aggressive. Reason why I love it.

My brother and I actually own a small t-shirt company. If you're interested, the link's in my sig. It's actually "my anti-life" just because I revert to Club Lexus/driving my Lexus/taking pictures of my Lexus at all hours of the day. It pulls me away from my life. Lol.

JIC kit is starting to grow on me. Maybe even more than my vertex kit.

Same here. The day after I bought my SC, I was planning to get a Vertex kit until I saw Scott's car. What can I say, he has the cleanest SC in my book.

245/35. Yes, rolling fenders was absolutely necessary. Applied lots of heat to prevent cracking and spent about 3 hours per car rolling with an Eastwood roller rental.

Sorry...I just told you the wrong size up there. I just edited it.

The tires are 245/35/19 and the wheels are 19x9.5 +25.

If you plan on running +40 wheels, I highly doubt they will sit flush with the car. IMHO, I wouldn't go higher than +30. Fender rolling isn't hard at all, it just takes time and patience. Usually someone near you will rent it out. If not, there are some online that will rent it out with a deposit.

I had +40 rears. Looks like a sunken ship. I added 25mm spacers and pulled my fenders... Looks aggressive.
