I wonder if that was a certain forum regular you spotted ... If so, you misread two of the six characters on the rego. But I didn't know he was on P's ...

Off-topic ... I was just looking at photos of meets that took place before I joined this forum. I saw LEX51S' car in stock form. LOL .. I can't believe it. And 16" wheels too.

Nah, it was most def STOOLN... 'stolen' maybe? Black euro style plates.

Indeed, LEX51S' car is looking very nice these days!

Caught a quick glimpse of some CT200H's covered in Lexus livery, on the the back of a car carrier while driving through Guildford.

Later around 11pm, saw STOOLN, black IS250, P plates, lowered, chrome wheels, eBay LED tails, rosary beads hanging from the rear vision mirror, driving like a uleh through Church St in Parramatta blasting Pac with the windows down....

What happened to good ol' toulene or just straight avgas? ;)

I have decided to go for the stoneguard. Looking at Ozicozi or Universal. Should I get the car wax first before applying the stoneguard??

I would hold off on wax on the areas to be filmed. Silicon waxes/products can cause the film not to stick properly.

The guy applying the film clean/strip the area of wax anyway before applying it.

3m fil is good

but if you wanna get the whole car done it cost around 3-4K i was told

post pics u[ of your new ride when you can mate

and make sure you come to the next ALOC official meet

I've had it done and am very very happy with it.. With the driving I've done, my last car on the same routes and distance was sandblasted to all hell

the lex - no marks

the only pain is that if you dont keep it clean you see a line across the bonnet, but this can be solved by paying extra to get the whole bonnet done instead of the leading edge (1/4)

i paid 795 for the leading edge of the bonnet, front guards, full front bumper, rear bumper lip where it meets the boot lid, door cups and rear vision mirror fronts

i had it done by universal shield in brookvale, good mob, they do the mini cup cars etc but ive heard ozicozi do a lot of high end stuff, might be worth checkign them out

i only briefly looked at the photo, but how can you tell?

guys i have successfully source out the latest drl headlamp. it's 100% genuine factory lexus 2011 is250 set of headlamp, costing about 4k-5k. i wonder if anyone is interested. one thing thou. these headlamp comes from lexus asia. and i wonder if it will fit aus 2011 lexus spec. hmmm...anyone interested to find it out?

What happened to your $700 figure you said previously?

Source from asia and cost about $A 700 without bulbs. i dont think i can have the next model up with $A700.

Wow. Just realised how high I actually ride.

Need to get around to fitting these springs, soon.

niiiceee

do you feel the 255's stretch a bit on 9.5 rears?

curious for when i get a new set of rubber, going to look at something quieter than what i have at the moment (ku31s).

nice, also good to see you got some decent rubber too

what tyre sizes are you running? offsets? any scrubbing?

What timeish? I'll be around Darlinghurst area for dinner but can meet up afterwards

I'm scheduled to be in the US then, but this reminds me of when we had last minute issues with the wedding car company for my best mates wedding out in Kempsey.

You do what you gotta do!

thanks man, yeah I saw those on the CL forums in the many resonator delete threads, but wanted to see what Lehman had to say about it before i made my way out there to check it out for myself

i found when i had a resonator delete on my old cap before i went 2.25 turbo back, that a the cheap thin walled pipe they used caused a massive drone

replaced it with some thicker stuff, problem solved.

thanks for the info dude

will check it out on wednesday when i'm done with work

Hmm.. Mighty tempted. How long did the guy take, and do you have some contact details?

edit - also, have you seen the quality of the welds? Or is this just some hack job? Seems very cheap, I was previously quoted a lot more

.....

The Lexus F-Sport jobbie + filter.

Is there any drone at certain revs?

How did it go, K2sty1?

Kind of interested in this, I'm on call the day of the meet so can't attend unfortunately.

Is this the tool you're after?

20s aren't obscene at all :P

I've got 20x10 on the rear of mine with 275 rubber.

Fits perfectly without any scrubbing or guard massaging.

You just need the correct offset (+45mm).

Looks delicious from behind too :)

What are you running up front? I have 19x8.5's +45 ET with 235/35 rubber, and it *just* clears the guards

Thinking of changing the rims to something lighter and better looking, but I'm tossing up whether to go an 8inch or 8.5 again with 225 rubber to give it a tiny stretch. I would have gone an 8 this time, except that the style I got doesn't come in an 8 up front.

Nice to see someone else sportin 275's out back... I have 275 KU31's on 9.5 wide rims... Looks phat :)

SGM IS-F parked on Vimera Road at 5:30pm this evening...

Makes me want to upgrade already!

Hey man if you're around the Macquarie Park/North Ryde area you're welcome to drop by my place and check out the F-Sport filter.

Quick question guy, Someone told me the X alloy is shadow crome and I should not get one of the mobile guys to repair it. The guys that do proper alloy repairs want 360 per rim to repair. What do you guy's think?

Has anyone got a IS250 X type wheel repaired before by one of the mobile guys?

FWIW, one of the guys here with a LS460 had a major scrape repaired and it looks perfect

I recal it wasn't cheap though, I think it was around the $160 mark from memory

*BLEEP*! wish i knew it was so close, i could have dropped by before i went out!

I live just off culloden road... :(

Dunno about tomorrow night,

But I might be able to do tonight!
