IronFist Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I got mine from arco imports. Got the slim ballast kit + bulb kelvin of your choice. Can't remember but it was <$200 bucks with shipment. Funny enough the guy's name is "Lex" http://www.hidlighting.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dis-lex-sic Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 4 inch????? Won't that be way too big for a 250, especially since there's two of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The bigger the tip the more it makes your car look lower. I'd do 5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2sty1 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 i tried the 4" and its actually not that big its fills the cut out in the rear bumper really nicely this is the look im going for http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation/508051-my-solution-to-quietest-exhaust.html but i'll delete my resonator to give it a "fake" aftermarket sound also anyone know if i'd have any problems with rego and stuff if i take my resonator off?

k2sty1 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 yeh, i want to polish my mufflers, so they look like the F Sport, but without the sound, for now then with the resonator delete, should sound a bit better together with my Fujita Intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 hm.. you shouldnt have any problem with rego mate polishing the rear mufflers are a big job and they are 1 piece not 2 piece lol so it'll take while lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2sty1 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 had a flat tyre 2 days ago the guy told me that it was cuz the wheels weren't alligned properly or something the tread on the inside of the tyre was nearly gone, and it didnt have enough pressure it in (i checked the pressure a few weeks ago) had to get new tyres straight away so got some Yokohama ones but im gonna be changing all the tyres around the next service (sept/oct) what tyres should i look at? i heard Hankook are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX51S Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Mate. Every ones opinions are extensive and unique. There is a whole thread on tyres. And millions of reviews online that are worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
