Default IS300 from IOWA!?

So i've been a member for some time now but i never truly introduce my self just yet! Soooo i got a 2001 Lexus IS300. Purchased my car about 2 1/2 years ago and i love it till this day. I'am from Cedar Rapids, IOWA... yuppp thats right IOWA and feels like iam the only Modified Lexus IS300 around here. Now to the PICS!!

First day i purchased my car! The car is in MINT condition by the way


Window Visor/ Tint


Tanabe Springs/ 5zigen ZR+ 17x8 17x9






Got my SRT Intake from my cousin, it was looking old so i painted it black to match the bay


Pioneer Indash Head unit


Rep FRP Greddy Front lip


And this is how it looks currently!! Hope you enjoy






I dont mind answering questions so don't be shy!! HOLLA!!

Sick car man, I bought my 2001 IS300 a few months ago and am thinking of ways to mod it, but not so much so that it seems like a rice rocket, just subtle mods and makes a difference.

how much did your Pioneer In Dash head unit cost?

Thanks!

Thanks bro but it cost me about 200 dollars for the headunit, 30 bucks for the dash kit and around 80-100 bucks for the wiring harness.

Here I thought was the only one from iowa in the forum too. I too have the IS300. Also the GX470. BTW sick ride. I live the Des Moines area. No Mods on the IS yet because it was my wife's DD. Now the GX is her DD. Now, I have the car and let the mods begin. After I replace the front wheel bearing. Welcome to the forum.
