Default Artem's USB Lexus IS250 "Midnight Stroll"

I want to share my joy with you! Finally got my Lexus IS 250 in a wonderful UltrasonicBlueMica color.
I ordered it at the end of last year and waited for 4 months. Now this model is rare and attracts a lot of attention and views on the streets of my city. I really like that the cabin is more comfortable and large as compared with previos generation. Engine… it’s decent for everyday driving . Dashboard in LFA supercar – style looks very interesting…
What has been done :
- Protection headlights cover vinyl ( it was quite difficult, had to remove the bumper ) , nipples’ tops Rays;

What next :
- Intake, exhaust , duck tail and roof spoiler, JDM wheels and down springs.
In the near future I want to tune it a bit. Nice photo shoot soon!

Thanks ClubLexus website for the information and communication with interesting people ! I wait your comments and advices on styling!

Privet, FSPORTJC!

Thank you for your kind words! I think in the USA Lexus marketers keep UltraSonicBlue color for faster models like RC-F and IS-F... but Ultra White, especially with the red interior looks fabulous and amazing! Well, I'll share pictures and information from our 3IS community

By the way, my english teacher from Florida))

who and how did you get some 350 F Sport brakes? Is it safe to interexchange them like that? Any lights come on after you switch? I'm also interested in doing that but not sure how. I see you're hailing from moscow!

Yes I am) It's not so difficult, all parts are absolutely direct-fit! You need to buy calipers, brake pads and discs and some small parts from IS350/GS and all this stuff is suitable without any modifications! I bought used calipers and set of rubber items to repair it! Then I took them to local paint workshop)) Im going to install it soon but I know all electronic units and systems work properly!
Check out this topic too! Have a nice day!
