Couple of quick pics

Well i was messing around with my Canovers since i Just got my car out of the shop, so I decided to just take some quickies. Car isn't cleaned or anything. Sun isn't out so the Kandy paint doesn't bling. LOL

I forgot to give props to UNIQUE*TL for trying these out first. I've wanted these for the past 3 years, ever since ValueTL showed pics of them. However, I never wanted to be the guinea pig with the price tag on them. Unique was very helpful when I talked to him about his Canovers and he convinced me that I had to get them.

I put both of them to the highest. Guess front goes higher than the back...

They're canovers. smooth like stock. Trucks use air bags, we can't cuz our cars are a little different. www.kiyoshis.com

After all said and done, I paid about 4k. $3500 for parts, 500 install.

The trunk takes up some room. They just did a regular install right now. There are 4 tanks at each corner(improves ride). The front two are under the bumper cover. The back couldn't fit anywhere else. I'm going to hide some of the stuff when I do my system. I might get 3 thinner, longer tanks so that it can fit more flush into the spare well...that is if these protrude too much. When I do my system I have to do a false floor so it will take up a lot less room...but I lose my spare.

i do, i never really prefered the sporty look on our cars, actually i on any luxury/upscale car, they look nice sporty but i have to agree chrome would be better IMO, you paid alot for them right? what offset are they, you should post on some IS300 forums, to get some of your money back, a 45 offset on a IS isn't that bad at all so i'm sure they would be interested...

I've spent quite a bit. Car has been through hell and back. For instance, I painted my whole car when I got my Value Kit. Then the car gets hailed on. DOH! But insurance paid for the 2nd repaint. I've lost count. off the top of my head. $3750 for rims. 4k for paint and molded door moldings and fenders. $3500 for Value kit and spoiler w/shipping. Then the little stuff like headers, exhaust, intake...etc

Then I've had 2 systems that I did and yanked out b/c I thought I was going to get a new car. Well I'm still driving my car and making dumb investments. LOL.

What website did you get your Value body kit from and how much was shipping and how long did it take you to get it? I was going to purchase from Value-TL but it's hard to get in contact with him and i wanted to know how long i would have to wait for the bumper. By the way i'm only buying the front

I got it from Tim. But he doesn't deal with Japan anymore. IT took awhile. I'd try to get a hold of Value, he'd be the cheapest. If not, you can get it from www.kiyoshis.com Ask to speak with Nick and tell him Mike with the canovers on the TL referred you. Again, Value would be cheaper.
