Arrow Let me, without further ado, present to Club Lexus my 2008 IS350

I've been wanting to post my 1st thread here for some time now, but first...

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to the CL community for all that has been established before me. Particularly this 2IS Club, as all the Members and Mods within have indirectly helped me tremendously. It is a privilege and I will try my best to contribute back to this forum, as it wil be with great pleasure.

Ok, forgive me as I know I'm overdue for this but to make a long story short I got the car, posted 2 pics, lost my camera, caught the mod bug and bought car parts instead of replace it, and then I finally purchased a new black Sony T300 camera! Waited because there are so many nice IS's already, I wanted to put on a couple of personal touches before I show her off again. Going for a clean OEM styled look, hope you all enjoy!

So, without further ado, I present to you my IS350...



3M tint - 35% front, 20% back, 20% rear

Eibach Pro-Kit for IS350

Black Pearl Emblems

JDM IS-F Tail Lights

LED signal mirror covers (functioning THANKS to Passnu2 for his DIY)

F-Sport Air Intake System

An exclusive pic from NASA Ames


Also got the aluminum sport pedals, clear door lens, LED interior lighting, and wheel spacers on back order. More mods to come...stay tuned!

Questions, comments, and advice are welcomed and appreciated!

Thank you CL!!

-Thien

its true the mod bug is bad.. but regardless that is one hot car! The prokits really make a nice difference in height, I just got my F-sports shocks and springs installed and have to say I LOVE them.

very nice indeed...
am so tempted to get a 2nd gen IS cos its the only newer line of Lexus i can afford without debt but i cannot afford to sacrifice the feeling of that big body GS.
YOur IS loves sweet.....especially the drop
any plans on wheel change in the future?
