Default Another new owner here in San Diego
Hey everyone. Just thought I would make an intro thread as well. New to the forums and to Lexus all together. I've always owned Honda/Acura and modified them, but with this car, I think I'm going to leave it pretty close to the way I picked it up. Maybe some under the hood upgrades if I can find an intake set up that has good reviews or just a filter swap.

I picked up the car 2 weeks ago.

Here are a few pics





Just got home with the new ride 05-29-2015

Congrats! I always giggle a bit when others say " Plan to do just a few upgrades " haha.

Look forward to seeing what you have planned for it. Enjoy in good health

Haha, it always starts out with "just a few" but for some reason it rarely ends up being that way...

SDxray: congrats on the beautiful new car!!

It's true there are only a few things you can do with the Lexus if you compare with other makes.

Well I love how they look lowered, but I'm definitely not missing how the cops would single out the lowered vehicles. Its kinda nice being ignored right now lol

Nice car, congrats. Just got mine last year. Same color but in the 250 AWD. BTW, F Sports are lower than non F Sport models.
