Default One month to the day!!

Thought I'd introduce myself, Todd out of West Texas. Traded in my 09 Civic Si for a 08 Lexus IS250 AWD the 25th of June last month. The civic:



Moving to Colorado next summer and couldn't pass up the deal I got on the Lexus.







43000 mile, everythings in great shape.

After parting out the civic, nows here's how she sits after one month. Moved the Work's CR Kai's over. 17x9, +38 offset, 225/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear, H&R springs, M2 Axle back, BuddyClub shift ****, Silverstar H11 low beam, GP Thunder 3500K yellows in the highs/fogs, Jdm tilt front plate, front lip but no pics yet, lol.









Sorry for the dirty car, lol. Thanks for the look.

Wish it was that easy, lol. Use to hand wash the civic every two weeks but with the water restrictions here the last two years, it a $500-$750 fine to wash your car at your own home. Or pay $25-30 buck for a half a** mobile wash job. Joys of the desert.

Updated CLEAN photos, LOL. + lip. Started sprinkling as I took these.









Have a local friend with 18x10.5 Enkei RPF1's SBC off his old Evo. I'm gonna see if he'll let go of two of them and get some 18x9 for the front. Well see.........

Thanks again for the look guys.
