Cool Finally introducing myself with some PROGRESS PICS!! 56k nooo

Well I have been lurking the forums for awhile and btw have gather lots of info and just want to say this place is great.

Thought it was time that I formally made an introduction for myself and my IS.

Went through lots of peoples thread where they introduced themselves but mostly just post pics of their cars, so I thought I would mix it up a bit with some progress pics of when I picked up my car to how it is now

Don't ask why I chose the mods that I did and the order that I went with... I seemed to have went in a really messed up order now that I think about it haha but oh well I am happy with everything so far.

I am the second owner bought it used @15xxx kms 2008 IS250AWD in Starfire Pearl

March 31, 2009
The day it was in my possession

Garaged it most of the time as it was still winter and I didn't drive it out when there was snow on the road but it was fine as I didn't want to drive it much since I was waiting for my scheduled....


April 30, 2009
Full exterior detail, cut and polish
Full interior detail, leather protected
3M installed hood, fender, mirrors, bumper, a-pillar, roof

with it being actually nice out I finally actually drove it around now hah



June 29, 2009
F-Sport Intake installed(thanks Ryan at my local dealership) @17xxx kms

installed myself with the help of a good friend



July 29, 2009
Aerotect Tailight Redouts




August 8, 2009
F-Sport Shift **** installed

- got it from the F-sport summer sale, thanks Kerry at Lexus of Westminster



August 26, 2009
Aerotect Fog Overlays
optic blue



September 19, 2009
F-Sport Rear Sway Bar(local dealership) & Greddy SE Exhaust(thanks AJ Racing in BC) @21xxx kms

thanks bro-inlaw for the install!!
got my Sways in August(see pic) but since I was waiting for my exhaust, I just held out til that arrived to install them both at the same time













so ya... pretty much done for this season anyhow, no need to post pics of the whole car as exterior looks wise, its pretty much stock haha and we all seen enough pics of those

next year looking at some new shoes and coilovers, and you can most likely look forward to the new thread then!! hope you guys enjoyed the read

Welcome to CL. You're car is looking good. Time to get vaccinated against the modbug. It's already bitten you.
