Whats up CL members, should've done this back in July when I picked up my 06' Is250 in Tungsten Pearl 6-speed manual RWD. I tell you one thing, I LOVE IT! Bought it stock but had the 18' five spoke on it. Since then, I did the following:

- now sitting on a staggered set of19" BBS LM's
- Magna flow exhaust
- Drilled holes in the stock air box with carbon filter removed

Waiting to be installed for next spring:

- D2 Coilovers (bought from CL classifieds)
- Cross-drilled rotors, front and rear with ceramic pads
- Fsport drop in filter

Thats all I can think of for now. My first Lexus, always had european cars like BMW's and a Range Rover (RIP - was Tboned)

LOVE this site and I am always on it on my Mac or iPhone

Looking forward to meeting all my local members in the GTA

Those LM's... but a little too subtle.

Thanks guys! For the wheels, if I had my choice (meaning no nagging wife, lol) I would've went for something else. I had a very tight budget, I even had to work for that, ha ha...

Yup, got the coils and will install in the spring!! Can't wait...

Welcome to CL. I have a manual also....it's ok. Let me give you a pic of an OG member NOZ. His car will give you something to look achieve. Notice the Vertex kit and Ventross carbon fiber trunk that was painted.

Please don't get mad at me, but I would like to know if the BBS LM are the authentic ones? They look super nice.

Welcome to CL, nice start. Once your drop is set do a lip kit and you'll be good!

I've had all high end cars, a very expensive taste, and never cheap out but having three kids and one to college soon, I had to learn to shop a little more wisely. In other words, they are reps, not gonna try to front, but they so look tight on these cars. Thanks for comment.

And with the money I saved, it went to the coilovers....
