Lexus Is200 SE Project - Ste176 - 08-08-2020
JayJay1374 looking good mate, need to get lows soon! where did you steal the trd skirts from?
i thought you where where going for the trd lip? either way the tte bumper is nice!
Cheers mate
lows are in the post haha! The side skirts were a steal at 35 for genuine ones off eBay! And the only reason I went for the TTE over the TRD lip is because I got the bumper for the same price you buy a lip lol! Plus gives me a bit more space for a FMIC
expect a car day soon with me and Stix cutting bumpers up and getting Lows

Haha ideal. Them skirts where a bargin!! If you see anymore let me know!!
Well let me know when this car day is! Im happy to help out! Im tempted by more lows myself!

Yeah mate I'm always on the look out for a gpod deal!
What are you thinking of getting? Like I say we will be in touch

Right so I've been ordering some stuff for the car and I was down to what wheels to go for, after some consideration I'm thinking rota grid drifts! It's not finalised but they would be: 18x8.5 et38 and 18x9.0 et44
I've got a good mate who knocked up a quick photoshop for an idea... See what you think!? It's split between love and hate but I love it so we will see where i go
Here is the pshop anyway:

I'm looking for a trd rear lip and skirts to replace my fibre glass ones. And anything that's a bargin really!
Should be a jap northeast meet soon if you fancy it? It will probs be a Sunday though!

Grid drifts are defos a good option! I was gonna get some instead of mine but there was a 6 month wait, no where in the uk had them!

You sure they'll fit at the size or you going stretch tyres/camber?
Ive got 8.5 et35 on the front and they just fit but it's tight to the suspension arm.
And my 10's on the rear stuck out a mile before the arches were fitted.

Yeah I've been reading that the fitment can be tight, however your right, I will be stretching the tyres and trying to sort out the camber! There are loads of different opinions to what will/won't fit on different forums.
Those are not definite figures but ones I'm looking at. I've tested the front with stixs car with a et38 and they squeeze in, I think my problems will be at the rear.

Stav they are basically the same specs as my BBS, its a tight fit but they fit
Stretch will be used to its full advantage
haha

Just a quick update:
So these puppies arrived the other day:

Some HSD mono pro coilovers can't wait to get these fitted!
Also tonight saw me start some 'winter prep' on my bumper! Here's the progress so far:
