Default Finally purchased a IS350!

Hello ClubLexus, I have been a long time lurker and I have finally saved up enough money to purchase a 2006 IS350 with every option except Marklevingson sound. I am a College student that has been working 2 jobs since i was 17 so this purchase means alot to me. I look forward to your guidance in modding my car

Congrats on the purchase! You got an awesome color.

My first mod was the JoeZ intake. Simple and clean. I was lucky in that my car already came tinted dark, I just have to get one window re tinted.

My second addon was a Viper Alarm.

You'll get a ton of ideas from this site though.

Congrats! I bet you have a hard time keeping your eyes off your new IS 350. I remember when I first got mine. It's a beautiful ride. Welcome to CL. I'm fairly new as well but I've learned so much on this forum already.

Very nice!
I too, am a college student, currently 19. I too, work two jobs to save up and mod my car, but you got the 350!
Keep it up and can't wait to see your car modded. I'm sure you'll do great

Congrats on your purchase and a formal welcome to CL! You should be quite proud of yourself and don't be embarrassed by doing a double take of your car when you walk away from it after parking. I do it all the time! I have an '06 IS350 too. Yours looks really clean. What mods are you already planning? Wheels, drop on spring or coils, tint, front lip, roof spoiler? So many choices.....
