Default My IS250 AWD
Well I have been on here for a little while now but haven't really been active. I went from a Jeep to this. Big shocker for me but I am completely in love with it. Hopefully I can get some great tips and learn all about the Lexus platform. Thanks for looking.

I bought it bone stock and don't plan to go to crazy with it.
Mods:
IS-F style grille
Black grille surround
Debadged the rear
Painted L on front
20% tint up front, 5% in the back
Future:
AV M310 wheels in Dolphin grey. 19" staggered
Either coils or a 1.5" drop after winter
Paint the window trim black
Tint windshield 50%






What it replaced:

Congrats on your purchase and welcome

You seem to like black and going all black on your mods.

Aaron Rodgers Fan I Presume?

Congrats on the new ride. I'm sure it is a huge difference from the Jeep. Good list of mods so far. Next mod should be some springs or coilovers.

Good start and welcome to CL, but coilover over spring on an AWD if you want a great even drop.

Thanks, and I think I will wait until spring and order some coils when I have a little bit of money saved up.

shaved trunk looks good. However it seems kinda off that your emblem on the grill is plastidipped and the trunk emblem is not.
