I was able to pick up my IS350 last week. It was a long time coming, today was the first day I had off in which I had a chance to clean her up and layer a couple of coats of Zaino on her. I forgot how sweet the smell and how glossy the finish of Zaino can be. Thanks to the folks on this forum, especially the ones in the DFW area who responded to my post a few weeks back. Below are a few pics of her from this afternoon after a hard day of buffing and elbow grease.

NO NO NO dont listen to them, cuz once you start down the mod road... there is NO END... even when the wallet is empty...

BUT... you could use alittle tint and then maybe just change out all the stock litebulbs... then some springs... maybe a fabulous lip and toms rear... some Work rims... the list is endless

I do need to get some tint on there, dealership is running a special for $199 according to my sales rep. Waiting on my lexus credit card credit to apply before I get it . Was able to get 800 dollars worth of credit on my lexus credit card when I purchased the car . I think XM sattelite is after that with a Joe Z intake and Tanabe medallion exhaust. There goes my spending money for the next 3 months...and I'm sad ...
