hey guys, so ive been lurking around the forum for quite a bit now and i thought it'd be right for me to do a little introduction.

well, my name is jordan, im from socal 626 area. i dont actually have an IS300 or any other lexus vehicles at the moment, but i am on the forum because i will be purchasing one, most likely the IS300 or GS300 (they are the same price according to KBB). so im confused on what to buy, IS300 cuz its sporty or GS300 cuz its fast + luxury VIP?

my current car is a 2000 toyota solara, 100% stock, because im saving up for a lexus.

anyways, my previous vehicle was actually a corolla, you honestly dont see a lot of fixed up corollas but heres some pictures of my old car, with the TRD lip kit on.

oh and of course, most these pictures credit to hartawan







and in case you are wondering why i drive a stock solara now, its cuz of this:

someone hit me ]=

Welcome you had a very nice Corolla, don't see to many that are modded. Anyway with car choice, the IS300 is smaller and has nimble handling, more of a tuner car really. The GS300 is much bigger, and has a little more luxury, and you can fit much more outragous rims and tires, like 19's and 20's for that key "VIP look." So if you are looking for a VIP car, go with the GS, if you are looking for a tuner car, with maybe a turbo, go for the IS.
