Default IS250 AWD *New Member*

Hey guys, I got my 2007 IS250 about two months ago and finally got around to taking some pictures after I washed it.

I have tinted the windows (20%) all around, installed the gfx front lip, and installed aftermarket 5000k HID's.

I want to get the gfx rear lip and possibly drop it. When I need new tires, i'm probably going to powdercoat the stock rims, black.

I've learned how to do a ton of stuff to my car from CL. I've been on my.is for years when I had my is300. Seems like there is way more info on here for the isx50's.

Congrats on your new IS. The members on this forum are very informative and respectful of others. If you're looking to get a gfx rear piece in the near future, you should look for one now, since they are discountinued and a little difficult to find. Keep us updated when you get the rear and lower your IS.

Thanks guys!

Yeah i'm plan on ordering the gfx rear lip from sewell lexus some time this week. it's $99.00 bucks plus shipping with the CL discount.

I called up Lexus yesterday and they said they would paint the lip for $150.00 Do you guys think that's kind of expensive? I just want the lip to match. I'll prob check around some local reputable shops around me to see how much they'll charge too. Do you guys know if obsidian is a hard color to match? I remember my DWP IS300 was really hard to match the color.
