Default Hey, I'm new :)

Hi guys,

i bought my is @ the beginning of the summer ... its an 01 in pearl white and i totally love it. im just starting the mods [like just] and im beginning with minor cosmetic things ... yes its the silly girl thing to do but oh well thats where im starting. so far ive got: spoiler/lip, tinted windows all around.
rite now im moving the emblems around ... the written out 'lexus' was very easy to take off ... i used dental floss and bug and tar remover to take off the adhesive that was left over ... ive heard there are pins holding the big central 'L' in place on the trunk ... does anyone know the best way to take the 'L' off? i dont wanna damage anything

Nice, white IS's are like a clean palette. seems like you can do anything with them.

Welcome welcome! Always good to see a fellow DWP/CWP owner. I started with the cosmetics too. Like ya said it's the silly girl thing to do. jk Seriously that is how most of us get started. Then it gets to the big stuff and your REALLY in trouble. lol Enjoy your new addiction that is Lexus.

Thats why you should start w/ suspension, drop helps out the looks, and better handling will keep you alive once you start going for big power.
