I think I spotted you on Fri, Centenary Drv Strathfield, big silver rims and black bonnet protector, if so, leave it on it looked great ;)

Mate I'd love to take the compliment and run but unfortunately I'm just running stock wheels at the moment so I don't think it was me. :)

hows the springs going chris ?

[ChrisE2490]

Man don't get me started on these springs. The guy keeps saying he is too busy to post them off so either I can organise a courier or he will just cancel the auction. It's giving me the sh***! It's really hard to organise a courier when your 1000kms away and don't have the weight or size of the item. Not to mention more expensive.

[bigVAN]

Wow definetly not good to hear that. I think the seller was expecting more $$ . Guess that's the reason. Keep trying he will eventually give up and send them. Postage down to Sydney for all 4 springs you be round $40ish. I got 2springs from melbourne for 20$ postage

Nice, very nice Chris....

I hope to have soon one of those.

Cheers!

Where are they getting sent from? If from anywhere near Brisbane, I can help you sort it if you need it.

[ChrisE2490]

Thanks man I appreciate that. Just booked a courier finally and the springs will be here by the end of the week :) :) :).

[ChrisE2490]

Well its been awhile and i think this thread is about due for an update. So a lot has changed on my car easiest way to explain it all is through a list.

- Lowered on Pedders springs ($90 ebay buy)

- Purchased my new wheels (19' aftermaket Lexus ISF rims)

- Installed front and rear sway bars (courtesy of Thomas :))

- Installed the K&N Typhoon intake

- Painted the brakes (red)

- Footwell Lighting (white) and Led strip in the door (see pics)

- and finally got an under car lighting system installed (white)

Now for the best part, the pics :) (please excuse the absolute filthiness of my car i was just too keen to get them up)

Full shot of the car

Wheel and painted caliper

Undercar lighting kit turned on (filthy rear end) (sexual joke in there somewhere)

Well hope you guys enjoy :)

[ChrisZRE]

Nice touches to lighting dude, doubt anyone will lose anything in there.

[jeffy]

you will loose vision *SOLAAR FLARRE* :P !!

Looks good mate !

[jaay]

Looking good Chris!! :D

Where abouts did you get the lights from man?

[ChrisE2490]

Haha yeah a slight over kill in lights hey :) but what do you expect from an electrician.

Jay the lights were supplied from my local car pimpin dude but I think the brand was aerpro or something along those lines. The ones in the car were like $35 each and you don't even want to know how much the undercar ones were. :)

[jaay]

hmmm i mght look into the ones in the car, because they look nice man

[ChrisE2490]

Yeah you should look into them. It does mean you need to keep your floor a lot cleaner though. Look into the black lights. They are pretty cool.

[4ABHGE]

personally, I dont really like the undercar lighting, reminds me too much of cars from 2003 and F&F....

but I really like the interior lights, they look sweet! good job on the door strip too it looks really neat :D

[Defyant]

Lovin the whole package mate! awsome stance too just right imo, didnt think those rims would look as good as they do can't wait to see it irl

[ChrisE2490]

Yeah the undercard lights were just something I wanted to try. The good thing is that unless they are on no one will know they exist. Cheers about the door strip. Took a fair bit of effort but my mate did most of the work :).

Cheers Luke. One day I hope mine will be at the stage yours is. It's been too long man. We need to catch up soon. EOMM???

[bigVAN]

mate dem springs dem rims changes everything dramatically .

those interior lights are awwwesommmmee !!

good to see the springs in . i saw your feedback you left for the seller lols .

[ChrisE2490]

Thanks man. Yeah I wasn't too impressed with the guy. You must be all over the Internet to see that feedback :). eBay stalker?

[bigVAN]

EDIT : does your ride feel bumpy ?

[ChrisE2490]

Haha fair enought then. The rides not as comfortable as stock but as long as the rode is decent quality it's all good. I noticed more of a difference when I changed rims actually.

[1stKill]

I've always wondered what the Lexus wheels would look on the Aurion and now i know...i think they look great,nice work mate.

Yeah I was curious as well but I couldn't find another aurion with them on it so had to bite the bullet.
