Default Washed and waxed the IS350 today (pics)

I have about 2 weeks off until I start my new job so I decided to clean wax the ****. I still want to do a full detail/buff to it but I'm still waiting on the chemicals to get here.

I have the stock genesis tires on there and will swap them out to better sizes when they're dead. The front are ISF sized but the rear should be lower profile.

Anyways a few pics (but not that good since they were taken with my phone)













The interior is pretty decent but I don't like the wood trim (and it's way too expensive to replace it and Im too lazy to wrap it haha)





-IS350
-Pro Kit
-F Sport Sway Bars
-19in Genesis Wheels
-Tail light Redouts
-6k HID Bulbs and vLED fogs and parking lights
-ML system with NAV and backup cam
-illuminated scuff plates

I have a Fabulous front lip that should be out of the shop in a day or so



and an IS-F style grille (don't like the stock one)


Anyways that's it - its my daily driver so the auto doesn't bother me much (good for traffic and the car is still quick enough) I would get it in 6spd manual if I could. No more mods really planned for it as its just my dailer driver car. Plan to get a new toy in the future down the line but for now just want a practical car.

Looks Great! Did you have to run spacers with those wheels? I thought I read somewhere they wouldn't clear with out them.

Thanks.

The fronts don't clear the rotors without spacers - they juuust touch.

The front grille is found on ebay. (the pic is just a stock image I used of an IS F)

Yay for Genesis rims! I'm still waiting for my tires to come in before I have everything installed. Looks like you're dropped at a finger gap or two. Any problems with scrapping or speed bumps?

No problems at all. I rubbed lightly on the fender liner where the clip for bumper meets the fender and a bit on the back (of the front wheel liner) on that "box" on the fender liner that sticks out for no reason. A heat gun and some cold water fixed it right up.
