Hello for the paint and body work including the front bumper and side rockers from Lexus I'm at about $2200. The car needed a front bumper and hood when I purchased it. I have a friend who installed that stuff and a did body prep for me before getting the car painted......That saved me a little $.

The wheels are 350z offsets at 20x8.5 et20mm and 20x10 et25mm. The ride is what would get with 19's. I like how the car feels on the road still soft and comfortable but not a lot of travel in the suspension. So you are always on the lookout for pot holes. My previous car was an Evo VIII. I was looking for a daily grand touring cruiser not as harsh as the Evo. Got a great deal on the SC and decided to go with it.

when you say trimmed the fenders can you please elaboprate on that?

did u mean rolled the fenders?

i love 20's on these cars unlike alot of other people i notice, i have 20's on mine but im worried about dropping the car due to fender clearance and whatnot.

any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I had the fenders trimmed instead of rolling them under. I am running 20x8.5 offset 20 for the front with a 235/30/20 tire and 20x10 offset 25 with a 245/35/20 tire. On stock springs it did not rub. With the car lowered the fenders will need to be rolled. On the rears there is very little clearance between the fender and the tire. If I just rolled the fenders it would not have been enough. They would have to be pulled also. I did not want to pull the fenders.

One of the VERY few examples of an SC that looks good with 20's. Good job.
