Default Just got my IS, Check it Out!

Sup everyone. Just got my IS about 2 months ago. Very excited. It was stock when I got it, very well taken care of.

I currently have 18" Gun Metal wheels/Black Chrome Taillights/JDM Black Antenna on right now, awaiting for the following mods: TEIN Flex(awaiting install), SRT Intake(awaiting install), HKS CF-Ti Exhaust(in the mail), Mazurri SuperHeader/Y-Pipe(ordering within the month), Black JDM Headlights(in the mail), Pioneer Avic Z2(in the mail), EDFC(in the mail), Black Chrome Emblems(ready to slap 'em on).

My original goals for this car was to throw on the body kit first, and then the car audio/video. However, the more and more I did research on clublexus.com and other various sites, the more I wanted to modify the performance aspects of the car. My next big mod to purchase will be likely be Stoptech, or possibly Brembo's, we shall see...

The only way I am able to spend all this doe on my ride is from stripping..ha! I'm doing my part in society by taking back from the ladies....woot.

Default mmmm yaaa..

Their is obviously a drop needed for the car to achieve a more aggressive stance..this is an older pic before I replaced the taillights with the black chrome ones...the back trunk lights and markers will be smoked out soon as well...

Default aaand the ladies ride.

Just for *****s an' gigglez, this is my ladies' ride...she originally had a 2004 300M, but when I got my Lexus, she decided she had to have something faster, so this was her choice...still not as cool as an IS....=)

Aye. Some dude at car toys the other day was like "whaaaaat I didn't know they came in green...!!"

Im like..."Uuhh ya its green and yup they sure do!"

Its a good color, looks very sleek. I heard from someone at my work (which happens to be a female), that color of green I have is partially undetectable with cops radars. Whether this is true or not, she says because the green is a certain color that radar can't pick up..lol i had never heard of it but would be very cool if this were true!
