I just bought an 06 is350 and I'm super excited about it. Tell me what you think, and show me your 2nd Gen IS too.

Looks pretty clean. My suggestion is maybe some different wheels? Never was a fan of red, but I'm sure that if you put some work in to yours, you can change my mind about it. Have fun and enjoy it!

I like the color combination. I think you can further enhance the front end look with a F-Sport grille:

Yeah that's one thing I want to change eventually is the wheels. I'm not a huge fan of them, although I like the color. I like your build alot!

Yes I really like that grille. I also wanna get an f-sport shift **** too. I'm not a fan of chrome... the accents around the windows and stuff looks alright but that's all I really want. Where would be a good place to buy that grille?

I don't know brand names, but I can ask the seller. I know it has racing suspension, wheels, exsaust, and an aftermarket HID kit. And a tint

Congrats and welcome to CL and the IS community!

Looks like you already have some decent mods on the IS. You should find out what modifications the previous owner had exactly so you know what you have.

Good luck with the mods!

In case you all are still interested...

It has Eibach springs and Tokico struts and ADR wheels. And the exsaust is HKS. Im not a fan of my wheels though... they look good and ill stick with the color but I wish they had more spokes. I also think it would look good to get my calipers painted. Red probably.

My shopping list also includes the f-sport style grill (debating on badgeless/non-badgeless) and an f-sport shift ****. (Trying to eliminate chrome). I love the leather and stitching on the f sport *****...
