Default New IS250 owner and new member.

Just wanted to introduce myself and share a few photos with you guys. Just got my 08 Lexus IS250 about a 2 weeks ago and already modding it.

Started with base IS 250.



Then tinted the windows and lightly smoked the tails.




Already ordered a rear diffuser and H&R springs, now placing the order for 20' Vorsteiner's.

Here is a quick rendering.


Gonna get them in this finish.



Will update the thread as more gets modded.

Upcoming mods list:

IS-F front
IS-F rear
WALD Diffuser

Thank you! Not wasting any time at all. I figured the longer I wait, the longer it won't happen. Might as well do it from the get go.

Placing the order for the Vosteiner's tomorrow morning. Just gotta figure out correct aggressive offsets with no rub. Doing the measurements in the AM.

Welcome to the CL!

Great color choice. Seems like you are not wasting any time and have hit the ground running.

The rims with the finish you wanted is going to look really good with red.

Are you going to replace the stock OEM spoiler since you are going with the IS-F front and rear conversion? IMHO, it might seem out of place with the IS-F rear + WALD diffuser. Good luck with the mods.

Thank you. It's actually white and blue. I Plast-Dipped the whole bike matte black and left the wheels blue. I own Custom Dipped here in SC.

Thank you, I am also doing the WALD spoiler as well.

Got my idea of the IS-F/WALD rear from you.

Let me know, I just so happen to work for the largest dealer for HRE, ADV.1, and Vorsteiner.

Nice mods so far. Welcome to CL. My Wife's 2012 IS is red also. Not modded though. I do think the red is the best color for the 2gen IS.
