Just bought a 2006 IS 350 and LOVE the car!! Its bone stock now but plans are tint the windows lower it and maybe a intake. I just sold my 04 cobra(663 rwhp) http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0...run_135637.htm http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0...bra_135643.htm because I never had time to drive it (3 kids and sports).I wanted something I could haul the kids in but was still fun to drive. Car is loaded with every option they had ...

Nice Looking 350! I just got my 250awd two months ago and love it. I am from NKY and used to live in Cincy too.

If you don't have a shop or don't know where to go to get your windows tinted, I would go to spades. My IS300 I got it done at spades and they did a great job (more expensive, but worth it if you have a nice car) I got my windows tinted in a "reputable" tint shop in NKY and they messed up my pillars and I had a hard time getting them to replace my pillars. I finally made a deal with them that i'd buy the pillars and install them myself.

Anyways, if you want to get the gfx kit for your car, I got it from sewell lexus for $89.97 plus shipping. They don't have it in black onyx but still have some in obsidian. I heard you can't really tell a difference in the two colors unless you really look.

If you need any help with anything let me know. I've been reading CL forums for the past two months and have learned a ton!
