Re: JV6 Lexus is350 and rx350

Good luck on your seach for the lexus, yep the more down the less headache. I know for fact I aint getting any tax return, gotta pay tax instead like every other year tt. My car just got a recent oil change service plus top all fluids at Toyota 2 weeks ago. Mods hopefully soon, will update if I do get anything :p

I did lose my set of key on new years eve though, lucky i got a spare smart fob at home. Love how i never have to touch my pocket to unlock the car or start it lol. Might order a credit card fob key later to keep it in my wallet.

that lip spoiler looks great. i may have missed it, but have you lowered it yet? those rpf1's are going to look sick on there as well.

Nice to see some progress, James. :) Have you notice the difference in lightness of those RPF1s?

I like what I see on your third brake light haha.

(Good looking front-end, Henry!)

Thanks, the lip spoiler changed the rear a lot so def a mod worth spending on. Might look into the oem rear lip next, there pretty pricey atm with paint from lexus so il wait till theres a sale. I havent lowered my car yet, been eyeing on tein street advance though :p

The rpf1s were quite heavy i say but they were solid. Yeah i like the cow peaking out, i jacked it from my girl's car last year. The mods arent big at moment but hopefully it'll get there

Sounds good. :boink:

Hmm.. Thought those are know to be pretty light-weight, but maybe it's b/c yours are 19" w/ some width there. But they're def lighter among any other ordinary 19s, so I suppose you still have some advantages.

yeah, being 19's probably makes them a little weighty. the 17x9's i'm putting on my car are like 16lbs or something like that. they're for sure the lightest wheels i've ever had, even with the tire. i wish i had a scale so i could compare them to my oem wheels.

definitely can't wait to see this thing lowered and with the wheels on though :thumbup:

Found an oem ground effects rear lip online from a lexus dealership that has my color in stock still for sale price at $57. Original price was close to $400 so I might grab it.

^Wow that's a steal. Even if you don't want it you could pick it up and sell it for a little profit. The new grill and knob look great!

I test drove a friend’s ISF a couple weeks ago. Really nice. It was probably me but I didn’t feel like the paddleshifts were very instantaneous. But my wife’s brother told me you don’t lift your foot, shift, and depress the pedal again (which is what I did)….you just leave your foot on the pedal as you use the paddles. Since it was a friend’s car though, I didn’t want to take the chance of being rough on it. So I guess I need to drive one again lol. But it was fun and sounded good. Ride was firm, but more comfortable than my car.
