Wide Body 3G Carrara White TL w/Custom Bumper
Wassup everybody, got my car done and on the road a week or two ago, and this is the result of all the time and money invested.
High res images, as well as the rest of the images can be seen here: http://staystetti.com/changing-the-game-2/
The car is a custom, all metal wide body, widened about 4" on each side. The fenders have also been "radiused" or cut higher so as to allow the car to sit lower without tucking rim. The paint used was Carrara White from porsche, and the front bumper is a Job Design bumper made for a lexus gs350, cut in half, and molded to the upper half of the oem bumper. Wheel specs are 19x9-40 (using a 20mm spacer to clear bbk) with a 215/35/19 tire up front and 19x10-32 with a 235/35/19 out back.
Suspension of choice is BC Racing Coilovers. I was planning on doing a full write up on these coils, but my girlfriend deleted all the pictures i had of the coils and the install off my digital camera. What i can say is that for ANYONE looking for a quality suspension, whether you want to ride slammed or at stock height with a sportier feel, i would absolutely 100% recommend BC. You guys can tell i daily my car at a decently low ride height, and i plan on going lower, so i need a really good suspension. BC are fully customizable and i was able to get 20/18k spring rates to give me the stiffness i require. One would expect this to ride like #$!%, but BC actually custom valves their struts to pair up with the spring rate so its actually EXTREMELY comfortable. Fit and finish of the coils themselves are top notch, everything is powder coated so i dont expect any rust..rings and collars rotate and lock freely...installation was simple with no hiccups...all in all, for 1000 bucks, this beats out ANY other coilover for our cars, imo.

I disagree with the mirror comment above. And I normally wouldn't. Because of the "bulk" look of the car and the more beefy flatter look of the front, I'd say the rounded thinner mirrors would look off...

Damn the front fascia looks very aggressive..
I commend your patience; this is the culmination of much planning and money and the end result is jaw-dropping. May I recommend two things?
The black hockey-stick shaped openings at the VERY bottom--I think making that all white with the rest of the bumper would be so clean...
And type-s headlights with clear corners would do it all off nicely....
Congrats Adrian, it looks fantastic.

DAY-UM! You must loooove speed bumps! lol
. I was gonna ask if anybody installed BCR coilovers because I see a lot of Lexus owners getting these instead of Tein.
