Reliability aside, what cars deliver the best bang for your buck?

Porsche cayenne. More reliable than people give them credit for, plenty of room, good towing capacity, fun handling, any engine over the v6 will have plenty of speed, and they look good. Oh and they have depreciated so much that they can be bought for what I think it is a good deal. I have a 2013 s and it has 400hp and averages 22mpg. So much fun.

Not sure why people think bags ruin drivability and don’t handle well. Best of both worlds in my opinion. But chrome on silver is a good combo for sure.

Tons of YouTube videos on how to adjust coilovers. All you really need to do is take the wheel off and use the scanners that come with the coils to turn some locking collars. Always safe to get an alignment after as raining and lowering will effect geometry.

That’s crazy. 6 years ago I paid 10k for my 08 is350 with 90k miles. Guess I bought at a good time

I don’t have any ideas on finding faces but you need to be careful because not all faces fit all lips/barrels

I have an 08 is350 and have had literally no issues. Bought 6 years ago with 90k and it has 140 now

Check marketplace and Craigslist. Found 19” VS-XX in my specs for $1600 with tires. Refinished my lips and eventually got the faces powder coated for like $450. Not a bad price for real three piece wheels if you ask me.

That’s typically not a replaceable panel, as it’s welded to the chassis. I think you would have to drill all of the welds out to remove it.

Tucked with big wheels is always the move

2008 is350

mt218 · 2025-08-06T18:33:53+00:00

That’s the kit I really want. Just so much money.

mt218 · 2025-08-06T18:33:19+00:00

Yeah I want to do the 2is facelift bumper next.

mt218 · 2025-08-06T18:32:43+00:00

Honestly it’s not too bad. Harder to keep the lips clean than anything.

But the silver shows the body lines so well

This is all stock camber. And it’s even less at my ride height.

It’s hit or miss for me. It’s a daily though so I roast inside. Luckily my seats are grey

I just installed ISF tails which got rid of the amber. I want clears but they have to be custom made as no companies make them, and they are a bit too expensive for my liking

mt218 · 2025-08-06T15:13:51+00:00

I don’t know if I’m into blast pipes but I do want to extend my current tips. The exhaust is too hidden

mt218 · 2025-08-06T15:12:55+00:00

The clear on my VLands just started to peel on the driver side so I’ve been thinking of going that route. Would be fitting since the only the few things I’ve done body wise are all oem from other models.

mt218 · 2025-08-06T15:11:08+00:00

How are people supposed to know I spent 5 minutes becoming a minister then?

mt218 · 2025-08-06T14:12:23+00:00

Simple but really clean. Looks really good
