Good bye BMW, Hello Lexus! ** Updated w/CT200h pics **

Hello everyone,

I'm picking up my 2014 CT200h F Sport today! Looking forward to what this car can look like with some minor mods.

This is my previous car.

Kevin

I went with the Silver Lining Grey for the CT200. My original color on the bmw was alpine white.

Here's a couple pics of the different setups I've had.

It was a 2011 535i motor.

It's a major downgrade in regards to power but I needed a little break from the modding.

I still have my wife's 335i vert and my daughters 328i seden if I need my BMW fix.

The CREE light output is 10x better than stock in my opinion. I didn't take any pics but there's a full detailed thread about them here.
