New Here
Name: Chris
Location: Cedar Rapids Iowa
Car: Lexus IS300, 97,xxx miles, 5 speed
New to the Lexus game, coming form the Audi world. The previous owner was going to turbo it but sold it because he need the money. I have a lw fidanza flywheel, Clutch masters stage one clutch, Drilled and slotted rotors, TRD front grill and tokico shocks and eibach springs.
Heres the car:
I need a lip asap lol. Also the bumper prolly needs a respray. I'm also going to redo the stock headlights this weekend. I bought the car with IS200 headlights which are brand new I just like the black housing on the OEM headlights. I'm prolly gonna sell the IS200 headlights.
Ugliest wheels ever....
I have plans for it mostly want to get it looking clean before I do power adders. I will probably keep it n/a. I hate these wheels so if anyone has stockers or an extra set let me know as these are ugly and embarrassing. Let me know what you guys think.

I've never driven a stock IS300 but several of my friends comment on how the clutch almost kicks back to you. Also the gears are very crisp. The lw flywheels also is somewhat hard to shift, it is def not very forgiving. This car hates to be driven slow too it chugs if its not around 2500 rpm haha. Overall I like it.
On a side note anyone here use strut bars? What is the best way to go?
