Newbie to Lexus
1. 2006 IS350
2. RWD
3. Crystal White exterior
4. 18's stock, 5 star split wheels
5. Nav
6. Black interior
7. Switching over from a '03 Audi A4 1.8T quattro
Hi. Finally made the jump to the JDM scene. Been always a Euro fan but all the maintenance and repairs are adding up on my precious A4. Loved the A4's Quattro but I wanted more power, the 1.8 turbo engine just wasn't fun anymore. Looking to enjoy this car and hopefully not have to do much repairs or upkeep as I did with the Audi. Looking forward to read up on DIYs, how-to's, and knowledgeable forum members' tips and tricks. Glad to be here.

I just test drove an '08 IS350 today for the first time and bought it on the spot! I had actually been talking with lobuxracer from here for a while, and he helped steer me in the right direction. I know him from the YSTC forum, and actually had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with him in person several months ago.
I had been putting off looking for a new car, since my '06 tC was still running great after 9 years and 140,000 miles. But I was T-boned a few weeks ago, so I figured it was a sign that I needed to move on.
1. '08 IS350
2. RWD
3. Smokey Granite Mica
4. 17s
5. Spoiler
6. White
7. Sunroof; heated / cooled seats;
8. PICS, PICS, PICS!!!
Here's a couple pictures from the dealer's website.

Officially purchased today! I won't be able to pick her up until this weekend
I haven't seen the car in person yet, but I was able to have a friend test drive it for me and made sure she got a clean bill of health at the Lexus dealership before I pulled the trigger.
I've been car-less ever since my boyfriend wrote-off my Civic two months ago. Took my sweet time waiting for the right car to come along and I finally found her.
1. IS350
2. RWD
3. Onyx blue
4. No spoiler
5. Beige interior
6. Luxury package with Nav, Mark Levinson sound system, Tanabe exhaust, and cold air intake.

Bought the car a few months ago. I am totally in love with it haha. I have done a few things to it already! Wheels, tires, BC coil overs, ultra racing strut bars, f-sport swaybars, f-sport black chrome fender badges, f-sport shifter, 8k HIDs, windows visors, and nav mod to allow input while driving.
I have already purchased many other things that I am adding as fast as I can!
remote start system
parking sensors for the front bumper
led angel eyes
megan rear camber adjusters
wheel spacers
and more things I am sure I am forgetting about

Hello from down here in New Zealand
After hunting for a few months in Japanese Auctions I imported a 2006 IS350 with X Package. 76,000km (46,000 miles).
Breakwater blue with Ecru leather
A few bonus bits with it:
- LX Mode front spitter
- Unknown brand rear diffuser
- Suruga Speed exhaust
- Japanese OEM remote start
- Aftermarket spot lights with LED DRL's
Loving the exhaust and it sounds great on song.
So far it's just been tinted and repaced the Japanese Nav with a Roadrover unit. 19's are on the agenda once I decide what I'm after.

New owner from Colorado here! I don't see many modded Lexus driving around, mostly just Subarus, so it'll be nice to have something different. I am loving it so far!
1. IS250
2. AWD
3. Starfire Pearl
4. Stock 17s for now...
5. No spoiler, yet.
6. Black/Tan Interior, no nav
7. I bought this car to replace my 2004 Subaru WRX, which unfortunately died at 160k miles. Spun a rod bearing. I didn't have the time to fix it myself or the money to pay someone else to do it, so I sold it and picked up this!
