BajanDrift's noob Build
 

So after having a BMW 3 seires for the last few years i decided to get a lexus is250.

3 months ago I got a 2007 matedor red IS250 from a salvage yard that needed New fromt bumper, bonnet and headlights. This made me think that i realy like the 3is conversion that ive been seeing on here. So i went about gettin all the parts and then the build started!!!

This was started a few months ago so up dates will be quick as im gettin the finished car tomorrow

I then managed to find a set of 2012 headlights for a very good price and after i sold my old one i even made a profit. So very happy there.

Ironically the bottom grill is being shipped from the US today as Lexus uk wanted £170 jist for the lower grill!!

Got one from a guy in cali for $75. Plus $20 shipping so once thats here my conversion will be complete.

HEYARMS have a nice set of rear lights so ill be tacklin the rear next.

Also a set of wheels are in the comming. Ive done alot in the last month so now incan enjoy the car and keep the mods comming. Im just happy with the final look of the front.

It will look better when you install the new wheels.I hope you enjoy your new look!

defy loving the new look, your in grace right? i saw yours ad that was part of the reason i did it. the lines on yours were pretty good.:thumbup:

I'm trying to choose between these two.

The second one for sure my friend but thats my opinion.A member here had them but he changed them some time ago.I really like them and i told him not to change them but he had a different opinion.They actually look like mines;)
