Default MDHLexus IS250

So after not updating my old build thread and going through quite a few changes, I decided to start a new build thread that is no longer called a "semi-build" Here's my Tungsten Pearl 2007 IS250 RWD. Located in Ventura, CA during summer and Orange County during the school year. Let me know if you have questions or want pics of anything! I have pictures of mostly everything I have built/bought!





How she is now.








Some pictures before the dip








Front splitters that I built








ISF style front bumper

Where did you buy the FSport style front bumper from? Fitment looks good.

Thanks for all the comments guys! Appreciate it.

I got the bumper from Selma Restyling and had it painted and molded a bit by my local body shop.

Nixcision, yeah I have been debating on that for quite some time now. I've been looking in to getting a set of Megan's but I don't know if I can handle going low hahaha.

Benefit of coilovers is you can set the ride height and stiffness to suit your preference. If you don't want to go all the way to the ground, you can still have a unique, conservative drop that suits your car and your own idea for its image! Here in Alberta our roads are brutal, except a handful of them, but I was quite low even with awd

Just recently purchased a LMS exhaust off one of the other members here. Cat delete, resonator delete, true dual. She's pretty loud now!

Just had to save up some many to buy new sensors and other maintenance things, she hit 90k, but now ill be saving for either the USRS or the tune if they can make one for the 250!

Just ended up picking up Mazzuri headers for the IS250, so I will be throwing those on to pair with my LMS. Excited to see what that does to the sound and to the power. I'll post a video soon!
