** I'm parting out a lot of the items listed below! Complete Overhaul in Progress... !!!! **
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/2ge...tom-parts.html

Alright, so I'm finally getting around to posting a build thread which includes my current setup as well as future plans for my '09 IS250 AWD. I'm happy with the way she sits right now, but am more excited with the potential of my 2is and its future modifications. I was very interested in the diy approach to modifying my car and am pleased with the outcomes so far.

Exterior:
-> Lexus F-Sport Grill
-> PlatinumR High Performance Slim HID Kit
-> G's Super White LED fog lights
-> KSpec LED marker lights
-> KSpec LED side mirror puddle lights
-> Rear & passenger rear window tint
-> Oem.Thing roof spoiler

Interior:
-> Lexus F-Sport carbon fiber gear shift ****
-> Precision Acoustics dual 10" subwoofer & amp
-> KSpec LED front door courtesy lights
-> KSpec LED front & rear dome lights
-> KSpec LED driver & passenger vanity mirror lights
-> KSpec LED interior trunk light

Engine (bay) & Exhaust:
-> (custom) hydrodipped carbon fiber engine cover
-> (custom) F-Sport engine oil filler cap
-> Takeda Stage-2 Pro DRY S Intake System
-> Lexus GX460 exhaust tips

Suspension & Wheels:
-> BC Racing - BR Type coilovers
-> (custom) FIGS Engineering MEGA LCA Arms
-> Avante Garde M310 wheels
-> Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 tires
-> SAGE Racing RCA blocks







Haven't had the chance to take a lot of photos but will be uploading more after some photo sessions, and I'll also be working on my photography skills.... its all about the angles!

In need of some body kit parts and some more power modifications! Some suspension parts too for some fine-tuning of the alignment!

Thanks!

Still waiting for a chance to get some pics of my own, as well as waiting for my pictures from a photo session from the other week!

So looks like I'm beginning to get the feels for a vertex front, vertex sides and a gfx rear + s4play diffuser. Thoughts?

I concur. You're already dropped i assume so it'll only make it look more aggressive and in a very clean manner. I've seen the full vertex lip kit in person. From a potential seller in the past and it looks good bro. And the diffuser will be the icing on the cake. Go ahead and pull the trigger my friend !

As much as I really like the vertex front and sides, I'm still wondering because I bottom out and scrape my bumper even now and I'm not even that low! Our roads aren't the greatest

Here are a few quick photos I was able to snap the other day....



dirty lens?

Thanks! Wish I could go a tad lower but I'm keeping to the safe 25" fender to ground with AWD.

Coilovers are great: stiffer, sportier ride and were quite easy to install apart from a few seized bolts on the stock suspension
