Tires: Dunlop SP9000 245/35/19 front, 275/35/19 rear

wheels make a car... save up and buy some nice ones

all the expensive wheels are worth paying 700+ a wheel... i wouldnt go for cheap stuff

wow thats awesome that you can take a trip that long in the es300

hey, i didnt know you were in houston! right now were trying to put together a lexus meet june 4th... heres the thread on club lexus.. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread...threadid=117948

itd be cool if you could come

thanks for the compliments guys, much more to come soon :D

awesome pics..... :P

what kind of camera was used?

an old canon 2 megapixel camera with no tripod... considering the camera and that we forgot to bring the tripod, i think the pictures came out very well

yea im just trying to be different with the badges... all my friends want me to put on the lexus emblem, but i get more points for the jdm badges at shows :P

well me and my friends were kinda bored, so i detailed the car real quick and we did this photshoot under this overpass of a highway.. if you want the high res pics, pm me or talk to me on aim, my sn is xnotoriousfobx

oh yea.. and we also did this video earlier in the day for my friends marketing class that hes taking... my car is in it, not the interesting part lol, but you can clearly hear my exhaust tone when i drive off in the video.. a few people asked me what it sounded like a while back and i never got the chance to record it until now.. the video is kinda cheesy and its 120mb, but if you wanna see it.. pm me or talk to me on aim, my sn is xnotoriousfobx... btw its an apexi world sport

and now with the pics, enjoy!

Thats looks sick man. Did you have to use a spacer or anything??

nope, no spacers

not really widebody.. just large custom cut fender flares that flow from the sideskirt to the rear lip

im thinking like a 2 or 4 inch flare

It looks nice,but you already know that.

But why do it so wide that you can't really drive it all the time without rubbing?

99% of the time i drive with only me in the car, so it doesnt bother me if i rub a lil

the car will be widebody eventually so i wont have to worry about it at all

any rub? what spring/shocks did you use? how's the ride?

my old setup: tein stech springs front and rear, kyb gr2 struts all around with 18x7.5 wheels

new setup: tein springs front, stock springs rear, kyb struts all around, with these wheels

i do have rub in the rear with these wheels, but that will be easily fixed by going widebody in the rear and a stiff coilover suspension

with me only in the car it doesnt rub but on huge, and i do mean huge dips

with me + 1 person it rubs on medium size dips/bumps and on hard turns

i dont have the balls to try having people in the backseat.. lol

i guess no one has any questions/comments/concerns or anything.. lol

Racing Hart 3-piece M5, 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear - custom 17mm offset in the rear

centercaps on the front wheels are off because they dont clear the lug nuts.. gonna get new lugs tomorrow

yes they can be swapped

Nice screens Hoebag.....I'm putting the components that you sold me in next weekend...

cool.. lemme know how it turns out

the largest you can go without rubbing is 18

not true.

MAN, I used this Meguiars Gold Class Leather Cleaner/Conditioner on my 1993 LS400 and on Acura Legend (same bottle) and it turned the leather harder than what it was before. But the leather shined and looked as if it was clean though. I never had a leather interior car until these two, and after using this, I thought that the leather should be harder, but alot of people want to know how to get it softer.

Then I guess this is a piece of crap.

Meguiars Gold Class

Or maybe not????????

that stuff stripped the leather off of my shift knob

well, i just shelled out some money for some nice screens today...

pioneer p6500dvd and a provision 10" dropdown screen

not even 6.5" screens fit in the headrests and the 5.6" looked like !Removed!, plus i think headrests are kinda played since everybody has em.. so i got a big dropdown screen :D

try using cocao butter lotion, spread it on, wait till it dries then rub off.. do this every other day for 2 weeks and youll see the leather becomes much more supple

lemme know if you want to know where to get these jdm kits:

auto couture kit (gen 2 97-01):

exclusive kit

(gen1 92-96):

(gen2 97-01)

exclusive kit (gen 1 92-96):

signature kit (gen 1 92-96):

wise sports kit

gen 2 00-01:

gen 2 97-99:

its a knockoff, and its of crappy quality

if you want a quality kit from japan, itll cost you AT LEAST $3k for ANY of the kits.. ive looked into this deeply and know who to contact if youre that interested.

I cant believe i am saying this but yes its better off taking it to a dealer. Just because they have a headlight alignement Machine.:chairshot:

no they dont... lol

if you have a 97+ theres a black knob on the back side of the housing.. turn it to align it vertically
