Default So I bought my IS250 Sept 7th Finally posting pics

So I went for a 2001 Honda S2000 to a 2007 AWD IS250. Took me about a month to find this one. I specifically wanted Starfire Pearl, Certified, fully loaded with navi, AWD, low mileage and definitely unmolested.Did a few mods already. Lip kit, rims, carbon fiber wrapping, painting my headlights and fogs. Waiting on my springs to get here bc I'm 4x4 on 20's at the moment. Only mods are cosmetic and I plan on keeping it that way. Eventually I wanna pick up a Wald spoiler and roof spoiler, and get a box custom made for my Alpine Type X 12". Oh and I need window tint. I will be adding more pics tomm with the rest of my lip kit on.All these pics were taken from my HTC EVO3d Sorry they arent SLR standard. I'd also like to thank everyone for posting DIY guides on taking this car apart. Without it I wouldnt have been able to do the mods I have done so far. This is a great car community and I hope to make some friends here. Here is my car. Enjoy =)

thanks thats just it. gonna install the isf grill and wrap the grill frame with carbon fiber this weekend. That'll be it for a couple weeks. I've been splurging alot. Gonna get some more CF vinyl to wrap my roof, window tint, then eventually get a roof spoiler and wald spoiler. I want a custom box that'll preserve my my trunk space. I have a Alpine Type X 12" that I took out of my s2k and I wanna eventually put in here

Thanks guys. Like I said all mods will be cosmetic only. If anyone has any recommendations I'd like to hear them. After all I still am a IS Noob! Also I'd like to change out my interior lights. If somebody could point me in the right direction for that I would greatly appreciate it!

wow you mod pretty fast. DId you also smoke your headlight lenses? They don't seem to look too clear in one of the pictures.

Well you did the big mods already: rims and going to drop it. How about red-outs (pretty cheap but really nice cosmetic). Also would you consider an exhaust a cosmetic mod? it really adds no hp but it really sounds better
