Bought from a guy in the states. You can buy the LED ISF lights of eBay that include the boot lights also. They don't look too bad and a cheaper alternative to replace the lot.

This is what the 09/10 inner looks like with 06-08 outer rear lights. I don't think I like it.

I prefer the red LED ones. The red looks good with lights on or off. the clear only looks good lights on. (IMO)

Thanks. I guess the IS F clear indicator with the MY'09 up reverse indicator would be even more interesting to see - picturing this in my head I think it will look crook but you never know with these mods until you see them in the flesh.

Anyone had recent experience with the red IS F LED units being offered on eBay at the moment? Reading earlier posts sounds like these units aren't as 'plug and play' as the seller suggests and require a resistor to keep the on board systems happy. Any feedback on the quality/fitment? Keen for this mod but non-genuine stuff on a car of this order doesn't seem quite right for mine. Takes me a long way back to my '81 VH Commodore days when I installed OEM VK mirrors and front indicators just to get the look I was after. Why on earth does Lexus still insist on fiting amber indicator lenses on the IS

That performance gain will be lost as soon as you eat lunch.

Power to weight ratio my friend is everything. Eat less go faster.

HEY GUYS

Most of you have seen my mods so far. well i have done a few more and have a few more still to come.

I recently put on some weather visors and biggest mod of all so far 18" aftermarket (G2) rims with yokohamas.

and a close up of the visors

I got the rims from a place at peakhurst. CAR LINK AUTO. Where there is another photo of the car.

[Terrrrry]

Your car looks great Chris...the window visors look great

I prefer rims with more lip but these actually look quite good!

And still more mods to come? You're making me want to order something for my car

[ilv1004s]

lol so not cut anymore lol

teins are too $$ IMO

im going coilovers soon

but i got the engine to deal with first lol

[ldc]

It's all in the design of the wheel. I think it looks 19s cos of perimeter is well defined and you don't see the inside bank of the wheel if there's any.

If you gonna drop, consider a set with a little more drop on the rear. As you can tell, the rear is abit higher in the Prestige (??). Also, if you drop too much on the front, going over humps the weight of the engine will no doubt bottom-out your fronts. The sound won't be good.

[k2sty1]

yeh, i think the sports models are like 1/2" lower at the front but the same at the rear

well thats wat it looked like when me and my cousin compared my sport to his prestige

BTW, nice rims, makes the car look alot better than the stock 16's, no offence to anyone with the stock 16's but they are so ugly

[ldc]

I can vouch for that too, at the meet i measured the Prestige with the the Sports, both rears are the same, just the front of the Sports is lower.

Too make a wheel look bigger put a smaller or as small as you can tire on it.

Saving the new thread for pics :)

Just like to say.....you beauty!

Got the DF210 installed by the surgical hands of Danny (ilv1004s) and his assistant Chris (LEX5IS). Very professionaly done guys. Words can't express my appreciation...(i hope a beer/coffee at the next meet will lol).

The drop was what i wanted, has the non-nose diver that you see in BMWs and Mers. Still has to setting but yeh Tanabe DF210 rides perfectively and prettily :D .

Everything they say about lower centre of gravity is true so i won't go into it.

The other thing was the JDM visors which i also love, and will not be tinting my windows (stands out more lol).

Thanks again to Danny and Chris. You guys rock!!!

[ProjectIS]

Hey ldc,

I spoke to Danny and he tells me that you got a nice drop from the Tanabe springs!! Well done! Can't wait to see the pics.........................!!!

[ldc]

Yes sir, hopefully by Sat they will settle and i'll take some shots then. We initially scheduled the installation

this Sat but Danny thinks midnight work is best so it was done last night lol.
