Finally liking my Lexus..
I'm not new to cars or the car scene by any means, I've had a few S4's (still building one) a BMW, a few Evos (current Evo is undergoing a full high hp build) SUV's, etc. etc.
I picked up this 07' IS350 not to long ago for what I consider a steal.. fully loaded, ML sound system 48K miles, HID's, heated/cooled seats, starfire pearl with black leather. The car also came fitted with some 20" work wheels, an HKS exhaust, and Eibach pro kit springs, Fsport intake, and a front lip
Immediately I had the exhaust taken off before I even picked up the car, this isn't my race car and for a daily I just like to cruise and jam out. First few annoyances I fixed were the very yellow interior lights and nav disc. Updated the Nav to the most current disc, all interior and exterior lights are now vled 5k LED's. Changed out the standard pedals to the OEM sport pedals. Replaced the beat floor mats with weathertech floor liners. Last but not least had the windows tinted.
I also removed the Work wheels as they weren't my style and rocked GS wheels with snows for winter. I had my CCW LM5's laying around from my Evo that I'm not using anymore and test fitted them on the Lexus, bought two new lips, had the fronts rebuilt and viola now they're on the Lexus.
It's primarily done in my eyes, I'm currently trying to find a gfx rear lip and I'll be buying S2K AP2 tips and then other than that something to integrate my iphone into the nav and it'll be one of my favorite daily drivers
and for sharing sake, the Evo when it was all together
and the S4 in it's sad state

me too, since it's not together lol I can't wait till the Evo is done doing a forward facing 6466, built motor, tcase, tranny, 15" belaks.. street car
Springfield area
When I look at the pictures, I sometimes see that too, I guess it's a more of an in person thing, i don't think it helps that you can't see the tire either it's just straight black in that area in the pictures. By winter they'll be trashed cause i HATE cleaning polished wheels and they'll probably be getting powdercoated

Quick question to anybody while I'm typing, if I have to I'll search later, but does this car have DRL's? and if they're not on would I need to go to Lexus to have them "enabled"?
