How's it going CL fam. My name is Henry, from LA and I have a 2008 IS250 MT and a 2012 IS350 FSport. Both Black, with black interior. (will post pics when I convert from raw to jpg) I wouldn't say that I'm a long time member, but I have been snooping around and doing my research since 2013. Im an Engineer for a company that designs decorative glass. Before that, I was a light line technician for GM and worked in Aircraft Maintenance for Delta Airlines. My first car was a 91' VW Fox. It was my dads and when he couldnt figure out what was wrong with it, he gave it to me. Was in High School and in auto shop at the time. When I graduated I had some money saved up to get a '00 Integra...it didnt last because after 3 yrs, a Frankenstein motor, a jdm front conversion and a turbo...it got stolen. I didnt have a car for about two months...was looking for an IS300 MT, but couldnt find any. I loved the body style and after doin various swaps I wanted a project car. Unfortunately, I couldnt find any for a decent price and MT, so I ended up getting a 2005 Accord. Now for the relevance in this post, I had a motorcycle and my Accord so I didn't need another car. I was just curiously looking and saw an '08 IS250 MT about 300 miles away from me. I had searched and searched and didnt find any that were closer. Ended up buying it and that's when I joined Club Lexus. Bought parts and let them sit in the garage until I had time.... I didn't do my first mod til the beginning of this year. Which is when I also bought the 350FSport. I know im new here, but I know what my car has, and what it lacks. The 350 I keep for the weekends or when I go somewhere nice. The 250 is my dd and my project. With pics coming soon this is what it has...

Well I know I wrote a lot and I apologize if it was boring. I thank all of you first hand because I wouldnt have over 100 links bookmarked, about 20 pages of notes, and a little push into my upcoming project in about a year or so.
EDIT:
Here are some cell phone pics

I like your IS250/350 combination and looking forward for picture. I would personally mod the IS350 not IS250.

Thanks MWIS350. I am planning on modding the 350, however, I had the parts already before I bought the 350.
