My build so far:
18x9 STR forged 902's
BC coilovers
ISF rear spoiler
VIP carbon fiber roof spoiler
Satin black roof wrap
Over the summer I hope to finally decide on an exhaust, Its between Tanabe or Greddy (I'm thinking Tanabe) and then a camber kit. Eventually I would like to get some f sport brakes on there too!
Very nice man! I like those wheels and I don't like many.
I just bought IS 250 2007 model AWD. Its driven 160k KM and is in mint condition. I will post the pictures soon. I had Es 300 1995 prior to this. This is non navigation version without sunroof . I have driven it around 2k within 2 weeks since I went on a long drive and loving it so far.
Here are the issues that I need to fix
- Lighter not working
- very small chip in front window
- Get new Summer Tires
- Remote start - It comes with a remote start kit but I have no idea how to calibrate or fix it.
- Tool kit - I took out the tool kit from old lexus so need a new one for this
- Safety kit - Probably a good time to get a new safety first aid Kit
- Seat cooling - Seat is definitely cooling but it doesn't feel much. Is it normal
- Airbag light on ( TPMS ) went on. Filled up the gas and now its fine. I am not sure how to look at which tire have less pressure from inside
- Buying winter matts
- Extra key - I am provided with only one key so need a spare one
- Manual - It comes with a french manual so need a english one
- Horn is not working so have to fix it
- USB/Bluetooth kit - Thinking of getting a USB/Bluetooth kit
- Headlight cleanup - Might go for cleaning the headlight since they are a bit pale
- Engine Carbon Build-up - I have heard lot about it so have to make sure I cure it before it happens.
1. IS250, bought second hand last week. 2007, Auto, 135000 kms, awesome condition. I took a Honda Accord Euro for a test drive and liked it, but I took this for a drive and it blew me away. Keyless entry and start is blowing my mind. (so is lowering all windows + sunroof with the key)
2. RWD
3. Smoky Granite Mica
4. 17s, stocks?
5. No spoiler
6. Ivory (?)

Hey all, New here as I just bought my 2009 IS350 today. It is Starfire Pearl and has 120k on it. This is by far the most fun car I have ever owned.
I have some plans for it but will take a bit of time.
Finally got the car of my long time dream.
1. 2011 250; been about a year since got it with about 60k; done some aesthetic work over the year with lots of youtubing.
2. AWD
3. 212 Obsidian
4. König Feather 17s
5. no spoiler yet
6. Interior black leather
9. T.O. Canada!
2009 IS250 6MT -63k miles when bought, now at 67k?
RWD
Obsidian
18" factory wheels, Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2's
No spoiler - debating on whether to do one or not.
Interior is two tone black with grey/silver doors, leather, etc, dark grey burl wood trim.
Heated/ventilated seats, aftermarket Bluetooth added, LEGO license plate frames. Looking to add LSD, F-Sport intake, front grill, shift ****, short shift kit, improved clutch (possibly F-Sport and possibly flywheel as well), exhaust (not sure which, but eventually full exhaust), IS-F steering ECU, suspension upgrades (sways, shocks, coils), illuminated scuff plates, paint brake calipers red, or replace with red BBK calipers, plastidip logos and lettering. Basically, I want to slowly modify this car to be something more awesome than it already is...
I recently bought this 2011 is250 with 73,500k on her. She is in immaculant condition...black interior and gorgeous exterior Mica Grey.
The price was $15,900 which I thought was great considering the condition of the car. I traded a 2004 350Z in also....so I was out the door
about $10,300. Seem like it has everything but the Nav package....but I don't need that. The car runs like a dream....but is a lot slower than my Z.
BTW....does everyone put Premium gas in their cars or do you cheat with lower grade gas? I know the manual say to put 91 or higher in, but is it necessary?
So far I have been putting 93 octane in. Most likely I will continue to do so since the manual says so.

IIRC the 2.5L V6 has a high compression ratio which in turn requires higher octane fuel to prevent knocking. I use Shell 91 and have been quite happy with the performance.
