Looking better all the time.

 

Not sure if closing fitment gaps body to frame are driving the further lowering you mentioned or if you're looking for a lower stance. I imagine you have plenty of weight left to hang on the front with the fenders, hood and bumper and some yet for the rear just to consider if you haven't yet in the overall plan.

Thanks Veemoney,

 

I was hoping that the body would bring it down more, at least in the back, but it pretty much settled to where I had mocked it up at the rear fender, and didn't close the gap like I had hoped.  But then I moved the bumpers today and remembered how heavy they were!

 

The dimensions I mentioned are the minimums I desire and it will be okay if it drops a bit further.  I'm a low rider kinda guy.

 

Plus, I need to get the front windshield in line with my vision.  Even with that, I will probably have to raise the seats 2" to make it work!

After temporary mounting of the front fenders, let's make it 2" more drop in the front, and I will leave the rear as-is for now.  Further lowering may have to come from a Lexus specific lowering kit.

 

The ride as it sits right now looks fairly level for a stock stance.  But I still have the issue of the elevated front windshield.  Another 2" drop in front will give it a rake and close the seat elevating that is needed.

 

Also liked how the front track is falling within the fender edge!

Plastic outer rocker anyone?

OMG - that looks like it could work!  (the rare transition model after the P15's hidden running boards)
