After having the pleasure of meeting Wringo this past weekend I decided to post up my introduction to this forum. I am currently a memeber of both ISfanatics.com and My.is.
I purchased the car in Feb. of 2007 and haven't stopped yet. Here is more or less the progression of my car.

2001 Black Onyx IS300

Modifications:
-WALD front lip & side skirts
-TCSportline Carbon Fiber hood
-"Altezza" grill
-Black painted headlight housings
-Blue LED city lights
-Smoked front side markers
-Yellow tinted fog lights
-Greddy Evo2 Catback exhaust
-HP Racing headers
-INJEN intake

Future Modifications:
Far too many to even begin a list.

Purchased Feb 19, 2007




The engine bay didn't look like it had ever been cleaned.


Cleaned and added what I was told was a brand name strut bar that broke about 7 months later. - February 27, 2007


Added the TCSportline Carbon Fiber Hood and removed the discolored window tint - March 2007


"Altezza" grill - April 2007


WALD front lip, Blue LED city lights, painted headlight housings and clear side markers - later to be smoked - June 2007

Welcome to Club Lexus! Your car looks great, any plans for wheels in the future? I think a nice set would complete the look

I am soo picky when it comes to wheels I haven't been able to decide on one set. That is definitley on my list and hopefully my next mod, along with finding a Wald rear lip.

Nice intro, Miranda! That's some serious modding in a short period of time. Keep up the spirit and learn from the ladies and gentlemen on this site. I must warn you to watch your check book/ banking account? It will soon be modded to stock (Nothing in it!!!!!) You will be there before you know it!
