Default My first Lexus!

Whats up Im Jesse. Not sure if this is the right place to post but just wanted to say hey and this is my first Lexus. Iv been into MR2's for a while but I have a baby on the way and Iv heard good things about the IS300 so I decided to get one! I love it so far but Im sure ill have questions now and then. Oh if someone could please tell me if the side skirts are worth anything or should I just trash them? Thanks!

If they are authentic C-West side skirts they might be worth something. But even if they are replicas you might be able to sell them for a few bucks.

Awesome... don't swap, build the stock motor and turbo it... trust me, you are better off that way...

Congrats and welcome to the club!

I think the sideskirts look good. If they were installed right why not leave them on?
