Just go out and drive the car and enjoy it for now. The 2IS is a fairly new car. Give it some time and there will be a lot of new things coming out that you could throw on there.

If you really have more money and time to spend... I'd get..

* Better wheels... Some larger 19" Volks perhaps.
* Better brakes... Brembos, Project Mu's, etc..
* Better suspensions... Some sort of Coilovers, Tein, JIC, HKS, etc etc.
* Add a huge stereo/tv upgrade in your trunk to bling it out even more.
* If you really have more money and time, change the entire car color to something trully unique.
* Throw on the appearence package or another bodykit styling.
* Use the extra money and buy a Lexus GS450H just because you have too much money.

Now there's some good advice.

Well he was far from finish on modding his car... Changing lightbulbs and adding tint is very minimal to the overall "fixing up" car aspect.

Besides, the top three that I listed are not only for appearance, but also performance.

Hell if you have extra cash you could spend some on learning how to use spell check, that first post was damn hard to read.

I concur. You can also add in a supercharger if youre brave enough. If youre hardcore, change the automatic transmission to a manual.

After reading the post, I can see why some people can think he was trying to "brag" about his mods... "Hey guys, I paid off my car, and fixed it up."

i would suggest not getting offended and butt-hurt when you do a post asking for criticism when all you really wanted compliments.. with that said it sounds like your car has a lot of new bulbs. have fun with that, but i think if you wanna do some bigger mods you will have to wait for the market to give us some more options

I dont know what it is with CL. 99% of the people want to help eachother out with whatever one is intersted in."Light mods","Intake pipe changes","Exhaust caty back",etc,etc,etc. Everyone that has responded back about such changes in the threads has had the point of few like wow good jobn what are you thinking about next or can you help me with this or that. In every post or thread al i have seen is "whatare you expecting?"or those mods arent anything etc etc. I dont understand how so many can be supportive and some many can basically be like f*** y**.

I say just wait for the "latest and greatest" mods. Plenty of new aftermarket parts will be available in the next year or so. Bodykits, go-fast(er) parts, suspension parts, etc etc.
