Default Hello hello all!

Newbie here, just bought an 06 IS350 yesterday. Smokey Granite Mica, Lux package, came with every option even the radar cruise control (amazing). Only 13k miles and picked it up for $32k. Gotta say I am in love with this car. Pics to come. ~freq~

congrats...welcome...and a good price..... I priced search long and hard so I know that 32k with the mileage and options plus a 350 is a good buy be careful of this forum...It has an addicting way of sucking your time and wallet...it will get you into a modding mode

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. As for the very near future mod list (and opinions and critiques welcome):
Factory lip/spoiler kit
Tanabe exhaust
Either Joe-Z or F-sport intake
19"s (still have trouble figuring out what staggered offset to get)
Possibly 6000k HID bulbs .......

You crack me up with your replies...

To the OP! Congrads on your car...Just dont follow the LED's that llamaboiz has on his car. They suck you into the MOD tunnel and you will never find your way out

Post us some pics when you can

Welcome aboard!
