Default New Member- New IS350- pics of IS+ toys-

Hey everyone-

Just wanted to introduce myself- I just picked up my new IS350 a few months ago and its time to start "personalizing" it-

I work as a sales Manager for Magnaflow Performance- so the first thing Im going to do it build a custom exhaust for it-

Next will be a CAI- which leads me to the question- what are people having success with?

What other performance modifications are popular?

In the mean time, please enjoy a very bad picture of my IS350 (camera phone) and some better pictures of the other cars in my stable-

Why do the OEM wheels on your IS look so small?

I have no idea why they look so small- they are the 18's-

I guess Im going to have to change them...LOL...

Engine mods first- then probably BBS or HRE- more then likely 19s-

The GT500 is my all time favorite car. I love the new 2007.
