See these are the problems I am having, The pic of mine looks mint and just needs a bit of lowering but the 18's are a nice optional extra to add to the IS. I am leaning towards reconditioning the 18 inch sport alloys dark grey and fitting them and seeing what i think. I like my 11 spokes but just wish they were a bit bigger......the TTE Chicanes are the ones i really want though as they are lovely!!!

Hi All, I have an IS200 and I have just managed to get hold of a set of the 18 inch sport alloys. Like these!!!! I currently have the 17 inch 11 spoke dark grey wheels on my granite sky car which I think looks the nuts. Like this: Now the sport alloys need reconditioning so the choices are: - Keep the car as it is even though i really like the sport wheels. - Recondition the sport alloys in the original silver and keep it OEM - Recondition the sport alloys in the same dark grey as my 11 spokes I am leaning towards the recondition in the dark grey like my 11 spokes but wanted your thoughts!!! Cheers!! Matt

El_bandido I've heard that coilovers stiffen the ride more than springs and as it's a daily driver I don't want to compromise a lot of comfort for looks. Avi have you got Apex springs on ur Lex and if so would you recommend them as an option?? I am concerned 30mm wont be enough to look any better??

My IS200 auto has the power and snow dash lights?! I am not 100% sure if they are interchangeable but am guessing they should be? I am not sure if it is dependent on which year of clocks you get though as i think that pre and post May 2001 are different in the IS200. Hopefully someone will be able to clarify!

Hi All, I am undecided what springs to order. I do a lot of motorway miles with passengers so don't want a bone crunching ride, its more for looks purposes than performance. I have heard great things about Eibach but not that much about H&R..... What would you order if it was your money??? Thanks, Matt

I have a suspicion that the Sat Nav (if like the RX300's) runs off a CD and if so can only be updated by buying a new CD from Lexus

I always tend to think you get what you pay for and I've been doing a similar thing with springs but saving for the Eibach's as these seem to be the ones to run on the IS's. Save a bit and get one you really want i say!!! HKS all the way!!! hahaaaa

Looks nice Ormi!!! Looks mint! Love your car! The stance and mods are awesome! Nice choice of window stickers too!!

I have just changed the Dash with the kit from Auto Illuminations on Ebay (lightmeup - LOC) and the SMD kit looks awesome, I am really happy with it and it certainly pleased i did it!!! Now to decide what to do about the center console. Thanks for the help guys! :)

Cant say I've seen them before but i have been eye-ing up the HKS Silent Power as I don't want the noise just a nice note and nice exhaust tip. :P

Ok cool, thanks Phil, I might have a re think on that then! I am not totally against soldering and am quite happy to get stuck in but I just get very nervous doing stuff to the Lex as i know its not a cheap fix if it goes pete tong!!!

They look awesome!!!! Really really nice!! B)

I mean the air con switches. I know the Stereo requires all sorts of soldering which I wasn't too keen on getting into. If there are no kits, does anyone know the bulb types I need to do this?? Thanks, Matt

Are there any Center console SMD kits????

Thanks Dinho!!
