Good to be back
After nearly a year of transitioning from getting rid of my 2007 Lexus Is250 awd and into a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe (pictured), it was a fun car while it lasted but too many dislikes I had about the car. Well I decided to get rid of it after my recent lay off and get a Lexus IS350 or a Infiniti G37, bet you can tell which I went with. I love this Is350, everything my IS250 needed, it's a 2007 IS350 RWD Lux model so it pretty much has every option besides the later added F Sport option on newer models.
My goals for this vehicle is to murder out the car by making everything black, I want to do PPE headers, Invidia Midpipes, HKS Catback, Stance Coilovers, Injen or AEM CAI (forgot which had better dyno results and sound), I don't expect to make tons of power since I doubt anyone has an ECU tune available or someone doing custom tunes.
Anyways nice to be back and hopefully I can join the Club Lexus Facebook Group

Now my new Lexi!

Btw if anyone is located in the Pacific Northwest US, One of my sponsors whom is a detailed will do a 1000 dollar detail job for 75% off for 1yr protection, or 500 for 5year protection. He uses a high end Ceramic Hydrophobic Polymer which quite literally turns your Lexus into RainX with an Engine, all debris and dirt just slides right off.
Here's a few pix of my old car after the detail:

Nice pickup. Wish I could upgrade to a 350... What did you dislike about the genesis?
Also, what is a one year protection vs a five year protection detail? The fact that he normally charges $1000 for that detail sounds too ridiculous to me. The highest I've ever seen is $550 from people with really good reputation.
