New Here- My Matador Red IS350
I'm new here but I'm certainly not new to the IS community. I've been a member on .net since the age of 12, my brother had a modded Solar Yellow IS300, and now I joined the Lexus family with my IS350.
Well I picked her up today. She only had 2,000 miles on it, the owner bought it when they first came out and it was at the dealership for a little while.
2006 Metador Red/ Black Interior
Premium Package w/ heated seats
G-Spider Wheels w/ Grounds Effect Kit
I picked this over a 330i 6 speed. I'm very happy with the car, much better than the 330i IMO in every aspect. I don't know what some people meant w/ the IS350's steering feeling non responsive, car handles and communicates great in my opinion. Performance kills the 330i, interior, and looks.
This puts the biggest smile on my face everytime i drive it, it is a pleasure to own.
Mods to come-
I'm ordering Red out Kit tomorrow
Tint next weekend
LMS intake in a month or two (probably wait for more tuners to come out with intakes)
Exhaust (LMS) again i'll probably wait.
Mods in mind- when they come out at least and when i have the money-
Spray paint brakes either black. I was thinking gold like the brembo's from the g35 or metador red but that might be overkill. I think I'm gonna get Dupli Brake paint in glossy black or flat black.
Cross drilled rotors
Drop- most likey coils, or maybe springs
Rims- rims are fine right now but maybe in a year or so i'll get some axis milanos or axis pentha's or if i have enough money, iforged revs or swifts.
Here are the pics- color looks so sick in person.
And here is my car chopped on my dream rims -
Here it is slammed with my gspiders
and volks
I look forward to meeting new people here and making my IS ownership all the more enjoyable.
