My first Lexus and I absolutely love it. I paid cash for the car and looked for about 4 months before I decided on this one. Other than a few chips in the paint its pretty much flawless. I've had it about 2 weeks and many upgrades soon to come. I'm getting tint first and then working on HID smoked head lights and led smoked tail lights.

anyone have suggestions regarding going HID or LED for head lights????? Any advice on transforming my baby would be appreciated. Thank you.


Nice upgrade and congrats! I like 6000K headlights but you may need to run extra wiring because the lights do flash sometimes. Feel free to PM if you ever have any questions.

(Not the best picture)
1. 2010 IS350
2. RWD
3. Black
4. 18" Lexus
5. Spoiler
6. Black
7. Well, tomorrow I may or may not buy a Lexus. It's a 2010 Is350 approaching 114k. I was reluctant to check the car out while it was priced at $12k, but it is near-immaculate, clean title and vin check – with the exception of a small paint transfer. Miraculously all the conditions in my life were just right to be able to finance and insure such a car.

I will update you all with more pictures and will let you know if things work out!!

It looks like you have found the car I've been hunting for haha. Black IS350 with under 120k miles for a reasonable price. I need to start looking in Oregon listings haha.

Btw, your last two photos seem to be incorrectly linked.

i scanned Craigslist religiously 😂 I picked it up today and I'm very pleased with the car. Coming from a '97 Acura CL, this thing is a beautifully crafted beast. It also sounds the part with F-Sport intake/exhaust. I just noticed that, she's still dirty but I got this shot today:

Hi Everyone!! Just picked up a 2011 IS350 F-Sport this past weekend! I've been on the forum for a week or so but didn't post until I snagged the new car! I also have a 2006 Civic Si that is my daily! The IS is my new love and im excited to start modding and learning more about the car!

1. 2011 IS350
2. RWD
3. Starfire Pearl
4. 18s
5. Spoiler
6. Black Leather and Alcantara
7. Just recently picked up the car! All service is up to date and all done at a dealership!!!
8. Pictures after her first wash!!! First wash!






9. Atlanta Ga

First thing I want to do is get tint for this thing... I can never fish bowl for too long. I think I want to go with 50% on the full windshield 20% on the 2 front roll ups and 5% on the rear roll ups and rear windshield.

Next I want to black out all the chrome. Im not sure if I want to get it wrapped or dipped( if any one has any photos of theirs wrapped or dipped please share).

I also want to find a nice splitter or lip for the front and a nice roof spoiler! Any contributions to which one I should grab would be appreciated!!

Hello,
I just purchased a 2006 IS350 Sport Package, w 118k miles.
1. Nav w backup camera.
2. Auto adjusting HID headlights.
3. Light blue w grey interior.
4. 18" wheels with the 4 piston calipers in front.

What I have done so far in the three weeks I've had it.
1. I have installed 8K LED Foglight Bulbs.
2. Carbon Fiber front spoiler lip and Wald Carbon Fiber rear Trunk Spoiler.
3. LED interior lights.
4. ISF Carbon Fiber shift ****.
5. Last night I installed the AFE Takeda pro 5r intake kit, with drilled out Titanium Bolts.(left over from my MX racing days)
6. Today I installed the Cusco OS upper shock tower brace in front with Titanium Nuts.
7. I also installed a 19mm Megan Racing rear sway bar with poly bushings.
8. I have the 32mm front sway bar and rear upper shock tower brace to install next weekend.

I have a set of Porsche Brembo 17Z brakes 6 piston front and 4 piston rear I will install when I can find an adapter.
I am thinking of installing a tranny pan and cooler from a Toyota Tundra as well.
I will be installing Coilovers as well.
my plan is to autocross about 8-10 times a year as well as it being my daily driver.
Im a newbie to owning a Lexus so any and all advice is appreciated.
thank you
