Default Shivad87's Build Thread

Greeting my Club Lexus Forum Members' today 3/26/2014 marks four months I have had my 3IS just hit the 3,000 mile mark and I LOVE IT. Love the stares I get from people and just having people at my local gym coming up to me asking me about my car or giving me a thumbs up. Even had a guy in a GTR tell me, that's a dope whip .

Anyway, I I've been comtemplating making a build thread but it was pointless since I really haven't done anything to the car yet, this Northeast winter has been absolutely brutal and now that its getting warmer, you know what that means right? Time to get this ship rolling lol. One of the younger 350F drivers and I'm quite proud of it, and quite fortunate as well.
Alright enough with the bs, I have a AWD 350 FSport Ultra White/ Rioja Red. Pretty popular amongst the forum I know, but haven't seen many around. Basically my goal Is to make my 3IS different and my own pretty much. Definetly not gonna rice it out, but I never really modded my previous cars so this one I want to do some nice clean mods. Looking forward to hearing feed back from you guys and will definitely be asking for advice as time passes.

MODS SO FAR
-Tints all around 30% in the back and 35% up front
-Body side mouldings, haven't seen another Fsport with these, but I think they really complement the car nicely
-Door Edge guards - because I'm kinda clumsy

Hope you guys enjoy the pics and looking forward to making some new friends on here, thanks for reading

Thanks! and yeah I love it. was skeptical about getting a white car because it gets dirty quickly and may dull over time. but so far its been great no complaints here

side moldings? they ruin the look of the car, imo.

otherwise, nice purchase.

haha thanks man! yeah I love the red interior I get a lot of compliments on it. The white/red is crazy hard to come by on the east coast apparently ( according to my dealer). and apparently I got the last 350 F Sport White/Red coming into the east coast for 2013 so lucky me! lol

To each their own, I think the mouldings complement the lines and curves of the car nicely as the add a little shape to that area of the door & thank you

Got my roof wrapped in 3M black vinyl and the Xpel Clear bra done. Full Front Bumper, Half hood and fenders, Side mirrors and Rear bumper too. all for $800 which IMO was a superb price and high quality work done. I was getting quoted absurd amounts for just the Front bumper and Half hood/fenders. So im happy with the decision I made. These pics will do for now, but I will try and Post some better ones tomorrow! Thanks for reading!
