Yes it happens when I drive on Sydney's average (crap) roads. It sounds as though something has come loose inside the mirror housing itself. It's different to the music vibration, mine vibrates and rattles. Well, we could really speak about Sydneys "average / crap /####" roads on more then just this topic. We could bring it into the stone chip topic aswell. I've got the good 'ol M2 to contend with. My paint work and wind screen have both been hammered!! Not happy!! Anyway, I might leave this to the other topic!! Look, with a 4 year warranty, I don't think that service would mess around with opening it, surely they would replace it! If you have ascertained that its happening internally, I would insist that they replace it!! I will let you know if my friend had the same instance and what was the end result!!

Like Bluey, mine will only vibrates when the music is up loud! (Gotta love the ML sound!!!) How bad is it? Is it there even just when driving on an "average" road? I will talk to a friend of mine that mentioned something to me a while ago about this. I will get back to you!!

Thanks for the contact! Its always easier when you have a name to deal with! I did see that he had the WORK gear on Ebay and I didn't even think of getting in contact to ask if they could be ordered in!! Thanks again!!

What profile rubber are you riding on? Did you notice an improvement from the OEM 17's that the sports/Luxury comes out with? I know that Tanabe and Tein have coil overs that can utilise an on board damper control. But I guess if you go to that extent, you are serious about the handling more so then just appearances!! Over all though, pricing ain`t that bad if you did decide to go that way! ProjectIS

Thanks cevu! cool link! Yeh, the group buy thing sounds cool! We will have to wait until we get more activity on this thread!!

Please do!! I saw a few on CL that had them on and thought that they were pretty cool. One of the cars had 20's and that looked unreal!!The fact that it was dropped LOW did help the look some what!! Hence, not that im going with the 20's, I thought that they were the one. Again, please let us know if you come across them again!

Knew I could count on you to officially continue the post cevu! What can i say, I like the look!!! Must say though, " you know you gonna have to go with some stop on a dime type calipers and perhaps some nice cross drilled rotors to complete the look"!!! 6 pot Brembos perhaps!!! What size you going with?? 19's?

Hey all! Don't know if this topic was posted earlier and died an early death or not, but I was hoping that we could start posting some pics of our setups! This would help me as I am still in the process of sourcing the right wheel but the usual story, "Sorry, no fitment for the Lexus"!! I was about to purchase the WORK VR T1S wheels, but can not find anyone in Au that was the distributor. Found a mob in NZ and they would make them up with the correct off-sets for about $4K . (This includes shipping) But unlike many of you that I see deal alot with buying from overseas, Im abit worried buying sight unseen. Especially not knowing in this case if they got the off-set right! Hence, I am still checking out my options before I cave into temptation! What do yall have?? (I would post my car as a starter but we all know what stockers look like)!!!!

Yeh, pic please!!

I agree with cevu. To add the external DVD, you would be utilising the reverse camera screen. (ie. hijacking the reverse camera mod). If you were already doing this mod, you better off doing sat nav hack instead. As for this hack, yeah, see ya later warranty! I assume all are familiar with the procedure. Quite straight forward but at the moment, guys are cutting and splicing into the wiring looms. Having looked at the pin outs and what is actually being done, I do think it is quite safe, IF DONE CORRECTLY, but obviously, if there is an un-related failure with the unit, you don`t have a leg to stand on come warranty if wires are cut. (I DO STRONGLY SUGGEST IF YOU DO HAVE ANY CONCERNS, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!) I will be toying around with mine in the coming months and hopefully I will come up with a procedure that won`t involve cutting, but rather removing pins from the plug and utilising jumpers that are easily removed in the event that the un-speakable should happen! I will keep you all posted when I eventually do it.

Well it seemed that way!! In australia anyway!! Look, I have only had my IS for 3months. Im sure that im not the only one that has spent countless hours researching the mods that have been done in the US. It be great to generate the same interest and knowledge sharing down under! Anyone out there have the "WORK" wheels on their ride?? If so, which ones?? (Pics please)!!!

Looks great and obviously sounds great! I noticed on the CL forum usa that most have gone with that exhaust. You have definately sold me on it! Did you have to wait long for delivery?

Are you changing em again? Are you sticking with 18's ? What are you thinking of getting or have you already got a new set?

Have you got them yet?? Have you sourced them locally?

Great to finally see this topic started. I can only imagine that there are alot of us interested in sourcing suitable mods locally! Has anyone lowered their cars yet? (Coilovers or just springs)? After market wheel options (Lets get some pics happening!!) Can I say, my first post here! (Hopefully, first of many!!) I hope im not the only one that wants this Australian forum to peak! Props to cevu for starting it off!!
