My black onyx is300 build
Made my build thread in my.is and decided to show it here too, anyways....Hey everyone it took me sometime to find the right is300 for me. I found one that has everything that I wanted; low mileage (67k), all leather, navigation, heated seats, clean title. Found a Lexus dealer that lived 132miles from me but luckily they delivered the car for free. I bought my is300 at 03/13/12. These are some pictures of when I first got it (please excuse the crappy iphone pics..thanks)
powder coated my wheels matte black and dropped my car with cxracing coilovers:
tinted windows front 55% rear 15%
went the junk yard one day to pick up parts for my daily driver (subaru XT 49k original miles)...any ways I spotted an is300 in the corner all beat up and crushed somewhat. But knowing me I went to look at it anyways. I noticed the car had window visors and from a distance it looked to me as the JDM ones. Went to look at darn it no "altezza" engraved. Maybe they are ebay ones or knock offs but the visors looked pretty darn good. The visors had some scratches but ohh well I asked for the price and the shop owner told me $25. Well I said heck with it il buy it.
heres the pic of the visors:
after cleaning the visors and putting new 3M tape this is how it looks on my car:
had to slam the car

front view:
LED conversion in the interior:
trunk:
license plate:
reverse:
parking/ city lights:
long story short...so my dad bought the "ez-lip" on ebay for his corvette. The fitting was too short so he decided to throw it away. I said hey if your planning to throw it away, let me see how it would look on my car. before anyone decides to make fun lol, I do not intend to keep it permanent. Putting on this lip was for experimental purposes and for fun and laughter.
Well here is how the "lip" looks on my car.
tell me what you guys think =)
mods that I have done to the car:
- 3+ inch drop all around
- powder oem rims matte black
- 55% tint front 15% rear
- jdm knock off window visors(soon to get real jdm)
- spc camber kit front and rear
- LED interior lights including reverse light and parking/city light
here is a video of how my car currently looks. excuse the videos as I got bored one day and decided to record how I pull in/out of the drive way
video pulling out my driveway:
video pulling into my driveway:
please feel free to leave feedback and suggest future mods, thank you

Lip has been taken off after the day I put it on. I currently ordered xxr 527 and should expect it next month. Wheel specs are 17x8.25 +25f and 17x9.75 +25r. My tires are 205/245 40. I will be expecting some fender rolling and maybe pull. Decided to stay at 17 to stay as low as possible =)
