Default Just another guy with his addiction to modding

Hello Clublexus,

To start off i'm just going to tell you about myself. my name is kyle and i am currently residing in san jose, california. My passion for cars dates back to a time from a long time ago. Ever since I had that passion, I have met many people and learned so many things from those in the industry. Which have now led to my current build on my current project...my is350.

For those that do not know, I owned a bmw 335i that was a fully modded/show car. Sadly one night, I was hit by a drunk driver and the car was totaled. Shocked and devastated by the loss of my baby, I spent nearly the next year trying to find a new platform to begin fresh on. That is when I decided to enter the world of VIP.

I purchased a 2006 is350 from some guy living in Fremont. Knowing myself, it didn't matter how the car looked because I knew once I had my hands on the car it would be going through several stages of modifications.

Currently, I have owned the vehicle for almost 4 months now...and as you can see...my mod list:

Aero/Cosmetics:
CF Wald trunk spoiler
Myride Diffuser
Custom Front Wide body
Custom Rear Wide body
Upgraded Rear Inner Taillights to 2012
F-Sport Front Grill

Wheels:
Hre 560C 19x9.5 Front
Hre 560C 19x10.5 Rear
Hankook V12 235/35/19 Front
Falken 452 255/35/19 Rear

Interior:
Junction Produce Fusa
Junction Produce Tsuna
F-Sport Shift ****

Engine/Drivetrain:
Greddy Intake
Invidia Midpipe
Hks Hi-Power Exhaust
Air Runner Air Suspension
Megan Rear Camber Arms

*Big shoutout to several shops*
-Friendly Auto Care
-SpeedElement
-Supreme Detail Works
-Mr. Tint
-Weksos
-Ck Auto Image

More Pics Coming Soon! (gotta resize)

Good start though, especially for only 4 months

Ya its an older picture, I just picked a picture to throw onto the thread so it wouldn't feel so worthless.
Car is going through some major preparation to hopefully make it down to LA for the show on May 25th.
Only thing that is on the list that isn't in the picture is the diffuser and wide body.

Why would you post up a mod list and a picture that doesn't reflect that mod list. Post better pictures!!!

Teaser . haha My friend wanted to make a build thread, so i just started one. Car pictures wont be up for a while because it's going to be in the body shop for the next two weeks. Once its out, i'll have tons of pics that reflect the mod list. Only 2 things are on the mod list that arent in the picture. haha
