Under braces...installed






GT Spec under braces Install.

Factory mass production car often lack the ridgity under certain conditions. the chasis will have certain amount of flex when the car is being pushed to a limit during corning, to reduce that aftermarket company like GTspec has produced some of the highest quality under braces for Lexus vehicles.

These braces are tied into the front and rear subframe points to offer additional support. A front strut brace are used to offer additional support for the front end. when combined it offers a greater amount of resistance to chasis flex.

F-Champion

I've a huge announcement to make here, I've just received notice today that Lexus is having the training class for the IS-F in Las Vegas at the las Vegas motor speedway in February, and i am honored to be one of the very few candidate to be selected to participate in this special training event. Special thanks to the General Manager Mr. Bill Finsilver at Rallye Lexus for selecting me to be one of the candidates.

what makes this extra special is that not every dealer in the area are sending someone. the dealership has to participate in the program and the canadate has to be selected, so i am very pleased to be the person representing Rallye Lexus and in the metro NY region. so far I know the training is going to involve 3 days on the track with the IS-F and total brake down of the specifications of the car.

I'll be taking pictures and possible videos of the car on the track... so stay tuned and check back here often for any updates.

WOOT!!!!!

IS 250 and 350 sold in Japan are equipped with these. They are factory part and they are available here at Rallye Lexus and can be ordered right here at our parts department. I'll let the picture do the talking on this one.

I had to make my own side marker template for the install, location were determined by following the body lines and were marked by masking tape.

A closer picture here.

To get to the headlight harness connector the fender liner had to be removed to gain access and to run and secure the sidemarker harness properly.

The red and white with black tracer wire on the right side of the harness connector are for the lights.

Here's another view of the connector.

The light installed onto the fender.

A closer look.
