Default New IS 250 owner!

I'm buying a 2007 IS 250 AWD, black on black, & should be getting it next week. I'll post pics as soon as I get it, but for now are there any recommendations as to mods & whatnot? If you have any sites you recommend for OEM parts that would be great too.

To be honest I'm a complete car noob, so when I see people on here talking about mods most of the time I have no idea what they're talking about. So feel free to explain what your suggestions actually mean so I can understand them!

I plan on getting some tints, and that's pretty much the extent of my knowledge, lol.

I was on here about a year ago when I was considering getting an IS, but I never ended up getting it. I remember there was somebody who's door handles had "Batmobile" written across them though. That looked really cool to me, does anybody know where I could get something like that?

Ditto. You should also get HID fogs, aluminum pedals, and illuminated door sills. Those are ~$100 upgrades but those are very nice to have. One thing I want to do is to blacken the chrome around the grill and to replace the grill at some point.

How do you do that (like I said, I'm a noob, lol)? And does anybody have pics maybe comparing a dropped IS to one that isn't?

Thanks! I'm picking it up tomorrow, I'll post pics as soon as I can get my hands on a digital camera. I think I'm the only person left in the world who doesn't own one!

That would be Batmobile's IS350 that he unfortunately sold but the chrome handle bar that he has, you can get it from one of our vendors, Carson-Lex.
