Nice TL, but sorry that IS300 is terrible. How can you even drive that? It's looks like it scrapes the ground on a flat road. The opening for the wheels is way too large and it looks ridiculous.

first of all the IS has an air ride suspension that allows me to lower and raise the car to any height i want it to be, thats how it sits when its parked.

Ah, that's the black TL someone posted in the modified TL gallery a while back...asked then and I'll ask again now...wheels: brand, size(s), offset, tires? Any other mods?

Not a big fan of the IS (maybe due to it sitting vs standing), but still, wheel stats, mods, etc.?




I know this guy's new, but a lot of folks here aren't...what's the deal with posting pics and running off? There's nothing but a bunch of car nuts in here...we want details!

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't know that. I apologize if I was a little rude in my post. I usually subscribe to the theory of "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", but when I saw that picture, I just felt compelled to respond. You should also realize that when you post pictures and ask for people's opinion that you will get some who don't like what you have. However, I do see a lot of bandwagonning around here. If someone posts something and a few people say they like it/don't like it, all of a sudden they'll be 50 more who agree, then they'll be one person who has the balls to say the opposite and they get treated like crap for it.

I'm sure you enjoy your car and that's what counts. Even if I think it looks terrible.

There are plenty of other posts around here with questions that are far more "noobish". I'm sorry that I didn't know his car raises and lowers as he wants it. I see people on this forum admit they can't change the oil in their cars. I bet there are some who can't even change a tire.

wheels are called taz designs the size is 20 by 8.5 and 20by 9.0 wrapped in toyo tires. it is dropped on HNR springs. You can find the wheels at progressiveautosports.com.

i didnt post the pics and run off, i have things to do and i cant be sitting around all day on this website waiting for people to comment so i come and check back when ever i get the chance.

They look really nice...always been a fan of chrome, especially on dark cars. What about the IS?

No need to get defensive...that was a general comment made to the forum at large (hence why I dropped it down from my comments about your cars). My main objective was to suggest that when someone posts pics, they list all of the details of the car at that time. Saves us from asking tons of questions and the poster from having to answer them.

[QUOTE=chill_dog]They look really nice...always been a fan of chrome, especially on dark cars. What about the IS?

on the IS its has a fully customize bag suspension did a little cutting here and there to get it lower than it normally is. I used all airbag struts wit 2 6 gallon air tanks and 2 450cc air compressors. Wheels are Lsportline 19 by 8.5 in the front and 19 by 9.5 in the rear. IT also has a custom fiberglass system heres a pic in for the inside it has a pioneer 7500 dvd/tv/mp3 touchscreen with headrest screens in the rear.

That set up is off the charts! How's the air ride? Any creaking/noises or is it pretty quiet? Whatever custom cutting you did worked well...that thing looks to be only an inch off the ground, it that. Oh yeah, that system is awesome...everytime I see a nice set up like that, it makes me miss the system I had in my old car...maybe one day I'll upgrade the TL...

I've seen far worse comments on this forum. If you can't take criticism then don't post pictures.
