Clean lil car...I like it :)

Anna's old wheels? 

Needs camber  and air....sad to say, wheels don't fit very nicely

Also thinking about another kit? I suggest Vertex (YES I am being biased) =P

Is he located in northern cali? I swear ive seen this IS before...

Those wheels are classic! :biggthumpup: 
Specs are Nice as well!

thats a lot of poke!   Add madd camber and drop that ho some more.  :thumb:

As much as I want to like it...I can't.  That's horrible fitment.  I hope it's still in an under construction phase.  Flares maybe???

Chris

yeah, that is horrible fitment. and the front almost looks like a mazda3 or something. i dont know.
Charley

Fender flares are for busters. It's all about fitting the wheel tire combo under the stock fender. Camber in and drop the car and go from there. Tires look kinda meaty though...

wow nice.

but another NON VIP car ? We see more NON VIP cars than we do the real deal.

anyhow, the wheels stick out way too much IMO, Just a friendly word of advice. It does not look good at all because it sticks out too much.

YES SIR--Too meaty for IS300...might want to go with 215's on a 9.5 and 225 on the 10.5

I love the wheels obviously but the fitment and stance need some work and the hood imo needs to be on ebay I know the IS is the sporty Lexus but if your going for anywhere near VIP style its gotta go or if he wants to keep it for its weight paint it...

Yes he's from nor cal..Where are located?

He actually is running 225 on the 10.5 and 215 on the 9.5

He actually is going to ditch the side skirts real soon and does plan on painting the hood. The old look was a very JDM setup with different wheels and c/f hood...but the swutch in plan and it's slowly converting. The previous owner had these cambered, and she was able to tuck them decent. Don't worry guys the car is going to come together, the wheels is the start of it...I'm sure the owner will Chime in soon

all it needs is a lil camber action and to drop it sum more.

arent those Anna's old rims?? hers were 18x9 and 18x10 +25 all around, hers fit sick! with the Vertex kit

lookin like sex to me..nice car.

Lower it more. At least an inch in the back and 1/2in in the front. If it still pokes, dial in some camber for better fitment and meaner stance.

hey thanks for the comments guys....i'm the owner of the car and I really appreciate the feedback. Like my friend said, the car is under construction and I have a lot plans for it in the future.
