Greetings from Miami picked up this 2017 Touring in December and the mod bug really got to me lately coming from a 2007 IS250.



First thing I did was slap on some 5% tint all around and a light tint on front windshield

License plate led upgrade

Weathertech Floor Mats front and rear

Wanted to Dechrome all the trim around the car as I wanted to focus on a black out look to get things going


Window Trim before and after

Front of car before and after

Rear of car before and after ( also switched out to a black license plate to go with my theme)

picked up a set of the factory 17 GT wheels to go with the scheme more until I made the jump to coilovers and new wheels.

Megan EZ Coils arrived last week

Car looks great. Can't wait to see the rims on.

Looks great.

The car will handles noticeably better when you decrease the un sprung weight.

Have you decided on tires yet?

what does decreasing the un sprung weight mean exactly is it something I need to do? and I am getting a great deal on Nitto Motivo tires through the wheel company so plan on going that route.

Looks great so far, keep it up!

update had to get my fenders rolled to get the best fitment for the rear. The design of the lip on the inside makes no sense compared to the front lol.

lol yeah Private Message me



update wheels are on still dialing in height and need to get an alignment.

 

[JBLUR]

Finally was able to get an alignment after the suspension install and new wheels. What a difference rides like factory before and after print outs.

 

[ScarletBeastie]

Does the et 32 fit the front without poking out?

 

[TalonTsi90]

Can you kill the damn hosting and just plop them into the post box?

 

[JBLUR]

I'll try to update everything I haven't logged in for awhile and I don't think that was available previously. The ET 32 does fit without poking out no issues. Original post continued

that's the rear coils they are Megan EZ racing street series my previous cars had the struts but I know a few other makes of cars have a similar rear set up
