Default Goodbye s2ki & honda-tech HELLO clublexus!!!!

So finally after 4 years I managed to pick up my first Lexus, 2008 GSM IS250 AWD 19,xxx on her. The parents have driven Lexus' for jeez at least the past 15yrs. haha. Now at 24 I feel its time I join... I've always been into honda's and dabbled in motorcycles for a couple years. Ended up selling my Integra Type-R to get the IS, overall they are obviously 2 completely different styled cars with 2 different driving attitudes but I CAN'T say I'm salty for getting rid of the Type-R, I had it for 5years and been through everything with it, now I can relax a little not having to worry about getting pulled over for driving a bright yellow car or loud exhaust... Anyways here are a few pictures of the cars!! Enjoy... btw my s2000 is currently for sale if anyone is interested or knows anyone who wants one...
Also, does anyone know if any company produces checkered floor mats custom fit for our cars? I love the look and I have searched but I have not come up with anything, any help would be greatly appreciated

















da bike


As soon as I sell the S2000 to free up some money I intend on getting BC coils, Work VSXX 2d chrome, GFX lip kit... for now it just gonna be window tint and a good detail job!

Welcome to Club Lexus

Nice pick up on the IS and I see you already have the mod wish list in full gear

Good looking previous rides, S2K is a favorite of mine GLWS.

thanks guys! Yeah the S2K was my DD for a while and the R was a garage queen/ soon to be track car, I guess I decided that I needed a more practical DD (winters in MI can get nasty) no place for a s2000 haha. I was thinking about keeping the s2000 for a track car but I just can't get over how beautiful modded IS' look... soooo I'm going a entirely different route, mod the IS and DD that, if I decide not to drive it in the winter at least I have an old crap box taurus that will get me from A to B

I came from the same part of town (s2ki) into clublexus about 2 months ago.

Welcome to CL, and trust me the mod bug will hit you soon enough.
