Lexus IS300

Trust me, I never thought I would ever install them either.... but as far as window visors go, there are the cleanest possible! I had to put them on... they say "Altezza" on them

They say Altezza on them? That's the instant selling point for me *joke* picsssssss brehhhhh.

Wow, amazing work there on your headlight bezels! Looks like you did a PERFECT taping job around the rings and it came out looking perfect. Cant wait to see it with the headlights installed, your new bumper and your window visors.

Thanks David... I spent 2 hours on the taping, it did come out almost perfect

I did snap a couple of really quick pics at the part today, too bad no interior pics lol.

Took some quick pics today at the park... terrible camera and very dirty car lol, oh well. You'll notice I added JDM Altezza window visors.






And the rear bumper is coming along.

There you go, that's what we like to see haha. I feel lost, what all are you doing to your rear bumper? I'm like the only one who likes the one you have now :3 haha. And I like the pics

Yikes, looks kind of sketchy going over those speed bumps. You must have to do like 0.1 km/h over those. looks like there might be 1, maybe 2 mm clearance from the speed bump to the bottom of your side skirts lol.

Car looks beautiful regardless being dirty. I really like the look of the visors, they flow so well!

Well the bumper looks bad in person, I've managed to make the best of it in pics

I realize, have I never shown you guys what my solution was?

I am going back to the stock rear bumper and my previous poly lip and modifying it as shown:




You can see the rear lip and side skirt are shorter (I have already cut the bottom off), the side markers are gone (filled with Bondo now) and the vents/pinstripes are filled with Bondo/fiberglass. The side skirts will also have the scoop deleted.

If you see the first picture I just posted (with the speed bump sign) you will see how the front lip is "shorter" than the sides/rear.... but when I'm done, it will match perfectly all around and be one of a kind

Thanks David! I normally hate window visors (like Kenny will say lol ), but these are just beautiful. They mount on the very top of the doors, and they are nice and straight at the back. They don't look like a stuck-on part, but rather part of the door.

With the speed bumps... actually I have no problem going over speed bumps, driveways, curbs, etc. I don't have to angle, or go really slow. I don't rub, bottom out (much). The benefits of stiff coilovers

I gotta get me some stiff coilovers, been saying that for how long now lol. One things for sure, you dont need to do much more adjusting with your tires. They are sitting in there PERFECT. So nice to look at, cant imagine how shes gonna look with your new lipkit work.

Well, I am not using my front wheel spacers anymore (they rubbed when turning and were annoying) but otherwise, yeah it sits perfect on the natural negative camber from lowering

nice pics broooo

but interior shot are due

and yeah if u were in my area youd be hating those coil overs because of 1 foot speed breakers and pot holes

Maybe.... or I'd just have to set the coilovers higher and swerve around potholes!

I definitely like what your plans are, aiming to get it done by the winter? or too late now? and yeah the visors look really good against your car, I didn't even really notice them when I first glanced at your pics.

Exactly! The visors just blend right in, only noticeable if I say something. I definitely like them.

I am gonna get all this stuff done this month.... I've got a car show November 3rd!!!

Is that when you're going down to meet Pedro? But a month eh decent amount of time left, that's about the same amount I have left to get everything I want done to my car before it starts to snow.

Snow arggggg that sucks. But yeah, Pedro and the rest of the CCC crew. I still need my side skirts and projectors to arrive though > and the paint of course >

Hahah, I do live in Canada, can't avoid it and ahh that's going to be so awesome. Also, I thought you were just using the the skirts you have now?

damn nice work chris this car looks awesome your attention to detail is brilliant too

I got my new side skirts in today!!
