Maybe more people will speak up, this way we can confirm if this is a one off situation or if the product is problematic.

Sounds like an awful lot of time, money, and trouble just to mimic a BMW.

^ i agree. so much hassle just to copy how the BMW looks. Why not just get a BMW in the first place?

People on the beamer board is laughing their *** off at people that copy the angel eye look.

Maybe I don't read this right. You have an IS, right? It cost $79,000 (seventy nine thousand) dollars? Then, you added $54,000 (fifty four thousand) dollars in mods making the total investment $133,000 (one hundred and thirty three thousand) dollars? I don't know, am I reading that wrong? Anyway, hope your halo situation works out for you.

might be a typo probably meant 49000 since the 4 is below the 7.

some one replied saying"bro...you still way over paid! where did you find a base is350 for 49 and then tack on another 10k for the ml? my '08 is350 was only 45 and after my trade in i got them down to less than 40k and if i wanted the ml it would have only added 4k...do the math 44k total! you paid 69k? and why the hell put all those mods dude? you coulda got a way sicker ride for the 70k plus the insae amount you put into the mods...

plus i have one question...how did it feel getting bent over for those mods? becasue you WAY OVER paid for all of em! better shop around next time..."


This is what I said to him:

I dunt blame you. you dunt live here. I would ve said the same thing too if i lived in the states. anyway, the IS350 base price in canada is 49k in 2006 ,you can check the website,im not crazy www.lexus.ca . The price had been reduced resentally on the 08 modals to $43k now. The luxury pkg still cost $12k, again check the website. I live in canada dude,and if you add up all the taxes from the state,brokage,shipping and the taxes in here plus the labour you would come up with these stupid numbers! better check around next time

BTW: yes these are all of mods, but why would I buy a 100k car that wont even have half of what i had modded( crazy sound system,air runner,custom interior and trunk,,,etc), Think about it. however, its my car i do what i want with it , if you dunt like what i did ,dunt do it to your car brun it if you want
