First post!
I'm the enthusiastic owner of this gorgeous 2IS that I got less than three months ago, and this is also my first foray into the V6 club. I haven't done anything to it...yet.
1. IS350
2. RWD
3. Glacier Frost Mica exterior (this paint is AMAZING!)
4. Aftermarket rims, (I think?) aluminum JDM 18"
5. Trunk spoiler
6. Black interior
7. Radar cruise (an actual godsend), F-Sport intake, Luxury package, ML, Nav/etc, (came with TV's in the headrests!), CF rear emblem. Came with OEM rain guards, although I finally took them off today. They actually look really good, but they're just not my style.
And these pictures were taken BEFORE I waxed it!

making progress on my own car. Its been a great car so far and I look forward to the daily drives ahead.

1. Model IS 250
2. AWD
3. Dark Gray Metallic - not sure the designer name.
4. 17s 225's
5. no spoiler
6. Interior color BLACK
7. First time Lexus owner, 49K Miles, just bought her. I discovered it has Megan blue lowering springs.
8. PICS, PICS, PICS!!!
9. USA
10. Post pics or links to your car (you can upload pics in our gallery)
Hello all. I'm virgin fresh to the Lexus scene. I know I may ask a bunch of noobish questions. I like to learn everything I can about a car I own before digging into it. I can design and turn a wrench. I've also been known to help with schematics, when I understand it. I bought it off of a lot, with no owners manual .
Some issues I've had:
1) drivers side seat cooler, not blowing.
2) no heat out of center dash vent, only cold.
3) right rear shock or isolating mount failed (clunk)
4) Lot assembled the brakes poorly (corrected).
5) Rear deck is dynamatted out, and I'm trying to figure out the factory stereo wiring.
I have a nagging question. Is there any difference in the shock/spring assembly between the AWD and RWD models? any links to Diagrams or exploded views? I'm all about sharing information.

Girls like cars too :)
Hey y'all! Just got my '08 IS250 RWD. She's Pearl White with Black Interior. (Love this color combo)
Haven't done anything crazy to her yet but she's under construction. Just wanted to have some fun and plasti dip my stock 18's intense teal. Whatcha think?
On road magnets 2" drop all the way around (yeah I know I need coils but hey I'm ballin' on a budget for now) and honestly I think it sits quite pretty for springs
Just got some wider tires to hopefully fill the wheel well up some 245 front 265 rear (haven't taken a pic of them on yet)
I'm wanting to go real aggressive in my look. I have a set of Cosmis xt-005r's that I am going to attempt to fit. 18x10 +20 Input/Advice anyone?
More mods to come.....

Sad sad! Just got her! Now have to sell!
Atlanta, GA. Just got Black Betty earlier this year, but just as I am ready to take her to the track, I have to sell her! So below is for sale....
1. 2008 IS 350
2. RWD
3. Black
4. 18" Gspider wheels
5. Spoiler
6. Black leather, dark wood grain trim
7. Nav, Mark Levinson Audio, Luxury package with memory seats, HIDs, lighted door sill, K&N air filter, a mere 72,000 miles on her (I bought at 53,000).
I may keep her if I can't get a buyer, as the blazing fast power is just too much fun! Any Atlanta folks, she's for sale!
