Thx for the kind words guys! 
The wheels & coilovers are on the car now. As soon as I get it washed & Zanio'd then I'll take some pics. I knew 20's would make a huge difference (cosmetically speaking) but lowering it is the cherry on top of the whip cream!
I love how it looks but this is my gf's car & she's rather conservative. I surprised her w/the wheels & coilovers. She thinks the 3" - 3.5" lip (front) & 4" - 4.5" lip (rear) is rather gawdy.
I might have to sell the wheels if I don't win this battle. 
A couple notes for now:
The wheels look great on the car!
With non-runflats now (even w/20" sizes), it rides so much better then runflats.
The coilovers (set at Tein reference level 12/12) are pretty frickin smooth.
It rides almost like stock (which my gf wanted to retain).
Install's pretty easy & straight forward w/the coilovers. Only real PITA is the tedious taking apart of ALL the panels in the trunk. Up next is probably a front strut tie-bar since that area's exposed now.

LOL, I really don't want to post a dirty pic of the car.
Thx for the kind words Jason! Anyone that needs a quality mechanic (that specializes in Toyota/Lexus only) in the DFW area should look up Jason (JPI).
