New to Hawai'i (updated w pix)
Hello CL of Hawai'i,
Please allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Justin and I am from Southern California- Woodland Hills (LA County). I am currently attending school at UH Manoa for pre-dentistry and currently dorming at my UH campus. I have gone to numerous CL/non-CL meets in my area as well as helped out in big meets such as The Pursuit.
Now about my car. I own a Smokey Granite Mica '07 IS250.
Kits:
-Carlson CF Replica Ebay lip kit which I painted Clear SGM( it was SGM but, you can still see the cf through the paint) and molded it to the front bumper. Might be a replica but, I had many compliments on the finished molded piece-ask Javy!
-Currently, I have the full GFX kit (got it during the giant Westminster $300 sale for the full kit
)
-I was the first in SoCal to mold the stock OEM lip on my trunk- my favorite body mod =)
Stopping:
-I became tired of my OEM IS250 brakes so I upgraded to the 4-pot IS350 brakes along with SS lines and slotted rotors for the front and back.
Performance:
-JoeZ intake pipe w/drop-in K&N filter
-Tanabe Medallion exhaust with resonators deleted
Lighting:
- 6K low and fog lights
- VLED white led interior
- white led parking light
Cabin and Sound:
-CF fabric wrapped interior done by a fellow forum member
-All weather mats - sucks that Lexus does not sell these anymore
-Boston Acoustic 3-way components front and rear powered by JL 4 channel amp
-Digital Audio's digital EQ
-Vaistech SL2Vi
-1 x JL 12W3V2 ported into the cabin through the arm rest. Powered by an Arc Audio monoblock.
-Dynamat'd doors and trunk
-Hushmat'd doors and trunk
Suspension:
- Tein CS Coils
- Eibach Springs
- F-sport F&R Sways
Wheels and tires:
- Work Rezax II in burning black (19 x 9 F and 19 x 10.5 R)
- Toyo T1-R 235/35/19 F and 265/30/19 R
Misc:
- Professionally painted red outs (non sticker, real paint!)
- Shaved emblems and filled holes in at my local bodyshop
That's about it I think
I would love to attend any meets in Oahu it's just that...I don't have any means of transportation right now
If anyone would like to pick me up for any meets that would be very much appreciated!
p.s. I will upload pix of my car tonight as I am in the computer lab at school atm.

Justin,
WHatz up bro. Congrats on dentistry school, didnt realize you were wanting to do that, guess, cause we just talk about cars at the 818 meet. Anyways, congrats and good luck and a successful career in dentistry bro.
Didnt realize you had left until recently. Have fun in Hawaii, kind of jealous, wish I could chill in Hawaii. All the dude bros in the mainland So. Cal. are going to miss you. And to all the hawaiian bros, Justin, a straight up chill bro, he would give the shirt off his back to help anyone, very legit bro. As far as his car, very sick IS250, wish I had his car or at least his rims so I can put on my Lexus, but dont think they will fit my ES300. Anyways Justin, enjoy Hawaii and have fun and take pics of all the CL bro cars in Hawaii.
Much love bro,

Welcome to Hawaii. I hope you like it here.
As for the moped--I would say that's a very good option for you. You will need a parking permit for campus and then you will be set I think. Just ride it safely and don't be one of those jackasses that think it's OK to weave through traffic and make illegal turns in front of traffic because "they can fit". There are a number of moped modders here too.
