Default New Owner - 07 IS350 Tungsten Pearl

Hey ClubLexus,

I recently bought an IS350. Tungsten Pearl with black interior. Loaded with navigation. I've had it for about three weeks now.

Currently done:
-Tinted windows
- 9-SMD Parking lights
- 3000k HID fog lights
- 6000k low beams (not pictured)

My previous cars included
- 2004 Honda Accord (Aug 2007 - Oct 2011)
- 2005 BMW 545i SMG (Dec 2011 - Oct 2012)

Future mods:
- 19/20" Staggered wheels. Looking at Volks, Works, Vossen, Strasse Forged, Forgestar, etc. (or even LF-A reps temporarily)
- VIP style front lip (Want to get ASAP)
- GFX rear lip (Want to get ASAP)
- Coilovers or air suspension
- Maybe a CF roof spoiler
- Puddle lights under side skirts
- Maybe a Takeda Intake
- Custom trunk setup (amps, subs)

On to the images of old cars and new IS:

Congrats. Your car looks like my twin. Parking assist and headlamp washers FTW. Do you have the Luxury package?

Thanks, your IS looks nice! I think I used to see your 7th gen on DA or V6p.

Thanks! Yes, I do have the luxury package. I'm only missing the Mark Levinson system.

No, we are missing that and the radar cruise control thing. Besides that, our cars are fully loaded
