I just picked up some 19X8.5 iForged Retro's this weekend.
If they were staggered, I'd put them on the FD in a heartbeat.
Very "luxury performance" styling. Excellent price from a Club Lexus forum member too.
Something to consider in your next rim decision.

Today I spent packing up my meisters... which are no longer my meisters haha. Sold...in pursuit of something wider.
On to the updates...
Worked on my fender again today.. I think it looks a hell of a lot better...but I'm still not happy with it. It really bothers me that I had to cut out the inner lip that was rolled incorectly before.. at this point I really wish I wouldn't have. But I think it's going to look good once I smooth out the transitions. I won't be flaring it anymore, as I've reached my goal as far as the pull goes. What do you guys think? Better Worse? I've also been thinking about trying to locate some Metal pan-speed fenders that someone made a while ago here on the forum for a limited run.. That'd really clear this headache... I'm just not looking forward to doing this to the other side..

Honestly.. i've put about 9-10 hours into it so far... But keep in mind that it's my first time doing a pull to this extent. And I'm a slight imperfectionist when it comes to how I want it to look. I live out in the Antelope Valley. About an hour and 25 min from Jaime's place/LAX. I could probly knock out one side in about 3-4 hours now that I know what it takes. But I couldn't guarantee perfect paint after this. I wire wheeled mine off because it was already hacked at the wheel lip when I started. My car had already been re-painted...but they didn't do a very good job...

^ Thank you!!
I got My new Fuel Filter in today.. An Aeromotive High Flow with a trick *** Shut off Valve. Part Number: 12331 AN-10 100 micron. So along with it being an anti theft device as far as shuting my fuel line off.. I can flip the lever and change my fuel filter without getting petrol all over my arm. Now where to re-locate it to.. Needs to be somewhere easy to get to...Was thinking possibly on the body of the inside trunk area.. or maybe even a rear bin? ...We'll see. Check it out!

I need a fuel cut-off switch. I didn't feel like paying for the aeromotive filter just to get the switch.
