FEIA0303's build
Hello, feia0303 here.. I don't post often but I do lurk here and there. I decided to create a thread dedicated to my is250.
2008 IS250 RWD, 6sp M/T
building from the ground up...
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find pictures of her "in-between" stage... I'll just describe what I remember.
I find myself impatient when it comes to modding, I first purchased Tein lowering springs for her, but ended up buying BCRacing coilovers (10k/8k) later in the year.
With wheels, I have always been in love with CCWs, from the many car shows I have spectated, CCWs seemed to look great on all cars. My only worry was that they only made up to 18" wheels, however after seeing CCW Dan's lexus, I was won over. I just had to make sure I lowered the car just the right amount to pull it off.
one of the many first photos with everything installed (wheels/suspension), this was taken in Downtown Sacramento:
My friend Tom, also a user on here (VDMTOM) took a few photos late night...

and the most recent photo I submitted into the "Post pics of your 2is now" thread
I recently installed a PU front INGs style lip. Just curious to how much clearance I would have.
OK, thank you everyone for your comments and criticism, I truly appreciate it

This car is so clean and simple its beyond words. It's amazing how sexy the body lines of our cars are you don't need to do much. As Fei has demonstrated with a hell of a drop and amazing wheels, thats really all you need to do to accomplish a head turner in an 2nd Gen IS. Thanks for making this thread!!
