My New to Me IS350!
Hey all,
Considering this is my first post here, I'll make it a good one. I recently acquired a 2007 IS350 after giving the old 04 IS300 a tearful goodbye.
I've lurked through the forums through out my time in the IS300, and some time with the new car as well. After getting so much help from old threads with my mods and other car related stuff, I thought it would be good to come and be a part of the community! So thanks to all of you who post write ups, and keep this place productive and awesome.
Without further ado, here's the car!

Pretty stoked on the warm welcome guys!
Thanks, that was the first thing I did when I bought the car. Went a little crazy on Sewell's site and got my first round of mods soon after rolling off the lot haha.
Yeah man, hopefully I'll be adding more mods to the list soon! That exhaust is actually the slightly quieter Lexus HKS exhaust. Took a lot of searching to find one.
The 3rd gen is definitely helping drive prices down a bit, I also got lucky with this one. It was sitting on a carmax lot for a bit, and they couldn't sell it. So due to some carmax shadiness, and diligence on my part, I got it for over 1k below book price

Speaking of mods, here's what I've got installed currently, minus the ISF steering ECU. That came a day after this picture.
Funny thing is, the biggest change in my car came when I wrapped the wheels in S-04 pole position tires

The car came with the sport suspension too, so when I did the sway bar and tires, the car woke up. It's soooo much more fun to drive now. Takes a good dose of self control to not go ***** out every time there a bend in the road!
