Im officially saying HELLO Club Lexus
Hello everyone.
Well I've had my IS350 for about 8 months. It's been a slow project but im almost finished. The Car is great and Its a big difference from my last two cars. I still own a 2gen eclipse and my ES300 finally gave up on me with 207k miles. Ive been on club lexus for a while and now im also on My.IS.
I fell in love with the MRM when my ES now sarted showing signs of dieing. I looked around at a few other cars but the price/interior and power got me sold. Also I wanted a 4 door so this worked out great.
Mods on the car now are Seibon CFhood ( painted), F- sport BBK front , F- Sport exhaust, Megan mid-pipe, CF interior wrap, Gt spec upper strut, CF engine bay covers, Fabulous front lip, GFX rear lip, weather tech window visors, Painted black roof , CF and painted rear roof spoiler Jun-TW rep and finally LED tail lights with chrome trim., CF front grill Oh and Im working on the LED's on my Headlights.
Mods I have left are F-Sport rims, F-Sport rear sway and maybe the wald trunk spoiler.
Well here are the pics. All comments welcome and hope you love it because I do.

The first pic is my old car.

Welcome to CL and the IS family. I can't believe your ES300 lasted for 207K miles... thats amazing.
Nice looking IS you have the black roof on MRM looks great and really stands out. Not sure the cf hood is for me, but to each his own. How is the fitment of the hood? I only ask because in the second picture, the hood looks a little off. Maybe fitment is on point and the picture is a little off? Any plans to lower the car in the future? Some coil overs will do wonders for the IS. Also a cf wald would match really well with the hood if you're planning that route...
Interested in the cf engine covers? Any more pics of the engine bay?

Come on guys, let's help him out instead of giving him a hard time.
Op: This is your car and only your opinion matters. But my opinions would be to first lose the chrome around the headlights and taillights. The LEDs don't look in place on any IS350. From there h&r springs and powdercoat your wheels gunmetal or black. That alone would make a good difference. Then I would paint the grill surround and emblems black pearl. But that is just me. Your car is your car, & what you like is all that matters.
Edit
aint your headlight housing and fogs black and that would look really sick IMO

one thing i dont understand, on the eclipse, whats with the big widebody kit and no proper wheel size/offests to fill out the~ fenders? I've seen lots of guys do that, i assume you put on the widebody kits so you can run way more aggressive wheels but ppl dont so it looks off... is that a style choice?

Anyways, to the OP: IMO I think your car will look good if you remove the hood, chrome lining, and the LED... I mean with all your other mods your at a awesome start.. Especially your Fsport brakes
