Default New to the Lexus family

This is my 1st luxury car and I couldn't be happier. I have pretty much driven Honda civics and my last car was an 06 fiji blue civic SI. Nice car but I'm 31 now and wanted a grown man's car. I get a ton of looks everyday in this car and compliments everyday on the IS. Even w/o that I couldn't have made a better choice. I picked up a 08 IS250 starfire pearl with cashmere interior. Premium package, upgraded wheels, seats,HID, tint, clear bra, nav system. wife and kids like it a lot as well. After driving this car, I could never go back to a non Lexus. I am a member on 8thcivic and look forward to making some friends here also.

Then



and now:







Only mods I will do is different wheels. I want to go for the white wheels with the chrome lip look on this car. Thanks

Yup, I was once a Honda person too. My Honda was an awesome car, but now that I've gotten a taste of Lexus....I never want to drive anything else. Welcome to CL Nice choice on the color combo for the exterior/interior.

welcome to the club...

it looks like from the picture that you have premium with NAV...not luxury. I don't see the memory seats. And the wheels are basically a forced upgrade that 90% of all 2IS get shipped with.
