hot or not?

[Radioaktiv]

thanks for looking

and no im not just looking for some praiseany input is appreciated

[MattB]

Very nice. Is that an AE Q?

[elwesso]

Thats not a standard body... is that a impul body kit or something?

Not realyl diggin the yellowish foglights... but maybe thats something your looking into correcting.

[miata007]

There's no body kit at all.

I wonder what size wheels and springs being used.

Most definitely hot. Great wheels\tires, I really dig that body kit, I like the color, good tint job. I'm with Wes on the foglights, but definiely not a dealbreaker. Very, very hot. And a belated welcome to NICO. :-)

[Falkdesigns]

Dude!! I love it! I love the yellow fog's, I'd actually like the yellow HID's I've seen in Jpn. to go with that. Wheels look / fit good, great work man, really dig it.

Oh yeah, what are your wheel specs? I got my new wheels yesterday, but I don't like the way the tires look (245/30-19 & 275/30-19). I want to swap for 235/35 & 265/30.

[Falkdesigns]

...I really dig that body kit, I....

There is no body kit!

[elwesso]

really?? Looks good, must just be the lowering.

[gniknave]

I'm diggin the whole thing. I even like the yellow fogs because it probably gives the car an oldschool-ish look at night. Love the wheels. Lets see your wheels Falk.

[elwesso]

radio... what offsets are your wheels?

[Dennis-c]

Looks clean...Just take off the wind visor for the sunroof.

[Jeff Williams]

Cool. The yellow fogs are very Lexus like. Love the clean look of the monochromatic paint. Definitely dig teh lowering and wheels. Maybe a rear spoiler off a 2003-2004 M45 would top it off beautifully.

[CrimsonQ]

yep a spoiler and i might shank ya for it

Would that fit?

[Dennis-c]

No. Get the Q45t spoiler.

[FarFetched]

There is a bit of suspension rake. Too low for where I drive. Otherwise it looks nice!Cheers!

No? I think it is.

Amber foglights are quite de rigueur on the Continent. Lower frequencies penetrate better than higher. Why HID fogs are beyond stupid.

You mean like on real world roads with potholes and parking lots with those stupid speed bump curbs crossways in the right of way?

I see cratered oil sumps.

You know...I used to think the Y33 looked like a cheap acura imitation.

DON'T HIT ME though. I've seen the light.

That's a dead sexy car, no doubt.

MoD, I have to agree somewhat with you, though I'm not sure I would ever be as harsh .

I think even though wheels do great things for the look of a G50, their impact on a Y/FY33 is even greater, especially if you get a quality fitment.

Original poster - Very nice looking car .

[Radioaktiv]

thanks everyone for the kind words

it really makes one feel all warm and fuzzy...being that no one in my area really appreciates the Q45...just mainly Honda drivers and such

i like my yellow fogs (i made them yellow, they were just normal halogen and i didnt like the way they looked compared with the Xenons in the headlamps)

the wheels are 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 out back with a +35 offset in the rear (or so I was told by the seller, but I think it is lower personally)

I stand a LOT to learn from you guys and hope I can

thank you for such a warm welcome

cheers

[elwesso]

id assume your fronts are about 20-25 or so?

[knives.kouki]

HOT!!!

[guadofreak]

1/2" spacer on the front wheels and it would be perfect. VERY nice ride.

i got too give it to you it bad boy is tight

[Falkdesigns]

People crack me up with "too low for real world roads" comments. You have the same springs as I have, and so far, in a year and a half on the Tein's, there's been ONE parking garage where I had to park downstairs because the angle was too sharp. People talking about pot-holes??? Have any of you ever been to L.A.?? Our roads are like a teen-ager with bad acne for God's sake! Especially after the rain of last winter tore them up even worse. I manage just fine, and I don't drive slow.

Your offsets are definitely lower. My new whees (I'll post pics later) are +20 F&R and the rears fit just like yours, so do the fronts, and I want to get like 1/2" spacers for the front. What tire sizes you got? I left the 245f and 275r on the wheels, after the test fit, I decided to just go with it as it is, and I love it.

[hannibal]

Nice Q!

You guys run stock shocks with the Tein springs? The 19" wheels look good and the car looks like it was made to fit them.

[Falkdesigns]

I got KYB SR Specials from Japan in mine.

Buicks, full-sized Cadillacs, Lexuses, Lincolns, and Mercurys are very popular here for a reason.

Falk Please take this in the good hearted fun it's intended.

... there's been ONE parking garage where I had to park downstairs because the angle was too sharp...

Nothing another 0.4 liter of displacement wouldn't solve .

I think stiffness of sidewall and springs are more likely to be an issue than overall "lowness" and the street-ability of a car that sits REAL low. Of course parking with the nose towards a sidewalk can cause problems, but that's only if you don't judge the distance correctly.
