Arrow LXS10 WRB IS300 // Build Thread

Hi guys,

Well, I own an 01 IS300, this is my work in progress. This is my first post but not the last. There will be more mod to come.

I changed the cluster and climate controls lights to white LEDs.


I bought the altezza grill and a GReddy front lip.


I bought the TRD full kit but I have not installed the front bumpers since it needs a little work to make it fit and aligned. I will post more pictures once I install it.




After deciding if I was going to paint the new parts. I have decided to go a different route. I will be wrapping the entire car WRB (World Rally Blue). But I went ahead and wrapped the roor myselft with a 3MbGloss Black Metallic. But I think I will change the roof to a Gloss Black.


A few weeks back I painted the calipers red and bought a set of Enkei RSV with new tires.

Wow nice! I like the cluster and climate controls LEDs. What bulbs and what type of bulbs were used for each? I'm planning to do that too. But I need to know quantities and bulb type please
Awesome rims, is that stock enkei color or powder coat/paint?

Where did you get the cluster and climate control bulbs? I can't find the #24 bulbs in blue or the snake led for the climate control

Looks great! Can you tell me how much it cost for the wrap for the roof? Wanted to do it also. Looks pretty easy to do. Thanks

Thank, yeah it is pretty easy to do it.
Things you need to wrap you roof:
1. Clay Kit from autozone
2. Felt Squeege
3. 3M Vinyl Wrap 5ft x10ft I think..
4. Heat gun

I came out to $120 around there I don't remember but that is not including the heat gun

Hi guys, so its been quite some time since I posted here. I'm more active on my.is but here is it what I have done to the car as now.

I took the car to my friends to get the IS wrapped.



Pantied my wheel myself


Also installed amp/sub and a control **** in one of the empty slots I have under my dashboard.


Bought new LED tail lights and wrapped with 4D Oracle CF vinyl the bottom of the rear lip. Trunk LED lights are on their way,..



A while back bought this TRD CF spoiler that I had not install, I decided to wrap the top part of the spoiler and leave the bottom part CF.


Installed


This is how the car sits as of now:
