    And if you had a bmw the only car yellow fog lights would look good on would be that.

    No, the only reason I "like" the yellow fogs is because they are OEM, and now everyone wants yellow fogs because the IS300 has them.

    I hate yellow fogs on other cars, like Corollas and BMWs. Which is why I never put yellow lights in my fogs before, and why I would not do it on any future car that is not an IS.

    Thanks man, they're Rota Slipstreams. Same model as my sig, but different color.



    Thank you. It was a different track this time, and honestly, I'm so new at this that every single session has noticeable improvements. I'm still focusing on the right driving line and when to brake and start turning.

    Brakes are legit, I have Hawk Ceramics pads (in between HP and stock pads) and I run Motul RBF600. No fading issues, even in a 35 minute session with moderate braking.

    You forgot to state how many inch you're lowered, and what springs are you on. Aren't you rubbing in the rear?

    Installed front spring/shocks. Tokico Blues/Stech Springs. Unfortunately have to wait until Thursday to install the rear setup. Price of getting them changed for free...

    You guys already know, but here is the difference of the springs, left is stock, right is stech.
    Sorry about the blurry pic, will get better pics tomorrow of the front.

    I was all confused at first, couldn't figure out if it was lowered or not haha, cause it's both. Looks good so far, great choice in suspension!

    Yeah.... I did my own fenders with a metal bat and then a metal pole (the bat was too thick). Just stuck it up there and rolled/pulled the bar around till it was flat up there. The paint all flaked off though and it's rusting now lol. Get it done professionally by a shop with the right tools!

    Where I live there's a guy on craigslist who does fender rolling, he did a good job on mine. I'm sure there's tons of those guys in the Cali area.

    there was a place in NY. he wanted 80 bucks per fender and admitted that his fender roller was causing paint to chip at the time. Better off to do it for yourself like gold. i used a hairdryer and baseball bat to do mine.

    50 bucks is cheaper than 80. there was a guy that i tried to contact a while back but he never replied. i wonder if thats the same dude. hopefully he operates out of a shop and not from home...

    Yeah, it should only cost a hundred or two to have the fenders properly rolled in a shop with an eastwood fender roller and no paint flaking.
