Default Just another IS350

Hey guys,

I've been lurking this forum for quite a while now... Never ended up posting my 2008 IS350 that I've owned for just over a year and it's got 140,000 km (87.000 mi)... It's completely stock, and the only work I've done is purchase a new set of Continental DWS 06 tires, regular full synthetic oil changes, low dust front pads, engine and cabin air filters. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the low dust pads, because of the weak stopping power and brake fade. Aside from the brake pads (which can obviously be replaced), it's an amazing car. Never had a problem with it, and never disappoints when you floor the gas pedal. Anways, here are some pics:

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Lexus performed a head gasket recall on it some time last March, and I also, got them to replace the spark plugs during the recall to save money on labour.

I usually ride my CBR600 on the weekends which is much quicker, and the IS350 still manages to keep me happy.

It was a safety recall.

Looks good - you should get some darker tints - they look awesome on any car but especially a black one

I've never heard about a head gasket recall for the 2IS. Are you sure you aren't confusing it with the valve spring recall?
