  4. oh cool cool yea cause i was thinking if i buy a grille off ebay or whatever it'll probably not have those chrome surrounds anyway so yea il probs go down that track first I like the ISF style grille you even see them on toyota aurions now
  5. I seee Well seeing as I'm broke at the moment I'll have to put this on hold for a while but sounds good
  6. I literally got new brakepads yesterday Bendix General CT DB 1852 on front & Bendix General CT DB 1854 on rear Most people recommend them as a good pad with low brake dust They seem good on mine Cost me $154 for front, 154 for rear You can find them online for $104 though plus shipping
  7. Can someone post the details of the recall Does the car still have to be in warranty? I'm the second owner so do I simply call lexus & book it in
  8. haha cool someone doing the same thing sweet yea I actually want one of those Honeycomb golf style grilles, the slanted ones stock are ugly did you change your grill at all or just paint etc
  9. Yeah I made the mistake of getting them to do it when they have a mobile machiner who charges them $45 callout fee So yea basically idiot of me for using a workshop that has mobile people to do machining Oh well its done now Can you tell me a bit more about your coilovers? Whatd they cost you $$ Would you recommend them? I dont mind a bit stiffer but i'd like to retain maximum softness possible while getting some lowering cause stock is too high
  10. Semi pissed off Went to a workshop got a quote $156 for bendix general front brakes & $156 for rears. Okay no biggy Guy said I'd also need to machine the fronts at about $35 Then after its done he charges $88 for machining, $80 for labour I could have gone and bought new performance discs for like $150 $200 what the hell do I want machined ones for at that price Also could have got the brakes on the net for $104 each but thought I'd help a local out Some good that did..
  11. with the grille i was considering buying an aftermarket one cause i dont like the design either. I'd like the F-Sport grille But what about window trim, what do i do there
  12. I'll check it out General concensus seems to be that you can't get the same soft ride with just springs need coilovers, though haven't been able to find out if they're as soft
  13. Hey guys I want to black out the car Whats the best way to black the chrome window trim black the front grille Ideas / pricing indication anything cheers END goal:
  14. Hey there Just bought an IS250 2007 sports with 97,000km on the clock The brakes are almost done so I need new ones, i'd like some good sporty ones, will spend $100-300 Also want to lower the car from factory height (not too much, but definately lower than stock), but try to keep the ride softness much as possible Can you guys recommend a brand of brakes / springs to get Also, I live in gold coast, so if you can recommend a place to buy/install them feel free
