Yeah i hear you bro, i'm running 19" now and i had the GS F sport wheels before these and it looks good, but you can only close the gap with Coilovers as springs wont get you there, if you ask me 19" with the gap you have would still make your car look high. I'm pretty sure you can Google ISx50's with sport springs on 19" wheels i've seen a few on google images

Howdy folks. Just purchased this super clean 2011 IS350 AWD yesterday. Pretty much all the bells and whistles except the ML stereo and trunk spoiler and a hair under 30k miles It will be replacing a worn-out 2005 Acura TL. Sitting next to the wife's TSX in it's new home.

Default My first ever Lexus. I love this thing.

Saying hi and checking in. Last week I bought my first ever Lexus. It's a very clean rwd Obsidian 2008 Lexus IS 350 with 61k miles on the odo. The PO debadged it and blacked out what little chrome there is as well as smoked the headlights and tail lights. Car looks great.

I believe it has the Premium and X Packages.

It's running a/s Michelin Pilots on the rear and a/s Sumitomo's on the front which I'm not a fan of. I'll be correcting that in the next few weeks with some snow tires because this thing on frosty roads is butt clenching.

First item to correct will be the tires but the second item to correct are those tinted headlights. Wow, that tint really blocks the light. The headlights are even more dim than the old bulbs in my 2006 Ford F350. Something I noticed on my first night drive with it is that the fog lights "warm up". When you first turn on the fogs you can't even tell they are on but then about 15-30 seconds later they are quite bright with a blueish tint to them. They are definitely brighter than the headlights even though the fogs are tinted also. Where I live, there are very few street lights and a LOT of deer. Bright headlights are important here.

And one other thing I just noticed today, about 3/4 of the push pins used to hold the engine compartment covers and trunk plastic trim in place are gone. Just empty holes. I'll have to find a place to order those from since the nearest Lexus dealer is 2 hours away.

Man I love this car. It is a real head turner. And it drives fantastic.

TL;DR
1. 350
2. RWD
3. Obsidian exterior / Sterling interior
4. Stock 18's
5. No spoiler
6. First time Lexus owner
7. WA USA
8. Premium and X Packages
9. Replacing the tinted/smoked tails and headlights with stock units. Maybe Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust

Just got my first lexus this past weekend. It was a CPO, but it felt like I was picking up a new car. The folks I dealt with at the dealership were really nice as well. Btw, the FAQ from this forum was a godsend! It really helped me out during my research.

1. 250
2. AWD
3. Obsidian
4. 17s stock
5. Spoiler
6. Black
7. Car already came tinted, which was a nice bonus.
8. Here's a snapshot the day I picked her up. December to remember, indeed!




PIcking up my car from the dealership.

Default Happy to be here!

Just picked up my 2012 IS350 F-Sport
RWD
Factory 18s
Spoiler
Navi
Black leather/suede seats
Florida USA
Car is actually very clean low miles off lease car from Cali. Was from the LA area. If someone thinks they know the original owner message me because I have a few questions. I know it was modded and put back stock and had subs at one time.






My old car was a heavily modified 2010 Subaru Legacy GT
