Default New guy on the Block!

Whats up guys? I'm Mitch. I should be picking up my Lexus IS250 tomorrow finally. I have been searching for a new car for a while now and regardless that since im not getting the 350, the IS is a sick car and drives great. I love the navi and the new body styling. I would be getting the 350 but damm insurance will go thru the roof.

Seems like I can learn a lot from here considering i drive a benz now and i have been on benz forums for a while now.

Here are some pics of my car now, Lease is up in a few weeks.

Nice benz! But going to have to agree, get the 350. Once you come on this forum more, you'll realize there is pretty much nothing for mods to boost up your 250. In the end of the day, the only solution is trade it in for a 350 or ISF

welcome my friend! nice c you got there! it looks great that you didnt tint the entire taillights, leaving the white as a nice accent from behind. please post pics of your 250 when you get it. you're going to love it. sure the 350 has more power under the hood, but the 250 can be just as fun to drive.
