First at all, welcome to CL. As for what i think, i think you need a good detail on your car (see second pic)

Thanks. As far as a detail, yes, I do need that. I actually freaked out when I saw this picture (the second one) for the first time. But after looking closer, it is actually the reflection of a huge bush that I have in my yard, making it look like the paint is scratched to hell. In reality, it is not even close to as bad as it looks. PFEW!!

Welcome to CL and congrats on your 350... And as mods go you can start out with cosmetic stuff like LEDs always an easy cosmetic mod... Then I would say wheels and suspension.

Thanks dannyboy. Talk to me more about LED's? Which bulbs to replace, and what bulb to use. As for suspension, would you recommend I go with the F-Sport stuff? I am ordering the F-Sport cold air intake this week. Let me know.

Congrats! The best gift is the gift from you to yourself.
How many miles is on the ODO? The first thing i would do is go over the service records and make sure everything is up to date.

Just sent you a lengthy pm all on your LEDs hope it helps out but in the end it looks like the following pics... And for intake I went with a joez and hks filter and spent $130 for pretty much the same setup as fsport and for half the price as well... Now as suspension goes I have ksport on mine will post pics later but manu say if you just want a lower car to go with springs but after some research learned that eventually your oem struts wear out faster and I just rather avoid that hassle in the future and went with coils, you can get anything from megan to bc coils all depends on your spending plan I know megan ez coils go for like $600-700 and they are decent I got my ksport for $1100... But if you rather save some money now the most common springs are H&R

Thanks dannyboy. The LED look is so much nicer. I am for sure going to be getting all those bulbs replaced. Thanks for taking the time to let me know about this. I do agree, that if I can get mods, that are less expensive, but work just as well as the Lexus brand, then I am all for it. I will look into that as well. Thanks again and I will keep you updated on my progress.
