Default From ZeroCL on AcuraZINE to ZeroIS on Club Lexus | New '09 IS250

As of 3 days ago, I picked up my 2009 Smoky Granite Mica/Black Int. IS250.
-Soon to have 5% tint all around, thinking about 50 or 75% on the windshield to carry it over, and save the interior from the FL sun.
-Red vinyl in the mail
Trying not to let the mod-bug take me over, but its gonna be hard being on a forum. I probably should have never joined. haha
-I also saw that if you debadge theres pin size holes, thats a bummer. I always loved the debadged look but now I understand why only a few of you are debadged.

I know a stock car is hard to look at, so I'll only post a couple pictures





Coming from a 1998 Acura CL it was one hell of an upgrade. I'll post some pictures of her as well...atleast she was modded.

ahhh back to the 'lowerrrr' and 'slam it' comments, haha i feel like a newbie again. As you can see, my CL was pretty low, especially for Tampa streets [if anyones from Tampa they know how bad the streets are] my muffler was only 2" off the ground. But yeah eventually she'll be lowered. I feel like I'm driving an SUV right now. haha

Grats on the new ride! The mod bug will surely bite you once you start modding your car.

Btw, where did you buy the red vinyl from? Can you send me a direct link. I have the 09 is250 as well and i don't like the new taillights.

Welcome and nice choice of color bro. Of course its going to be hard not to mod, you already have stuff coming in the mail and its less then a week old. lolz.. wheels, coilovers, exhaust will be a nice start.
