Default New IS250 awd Owner!!!

Just picked up my new 2010 IS250 awd in Tungsten Pearl fully loaded. I traded in my 2007 Acura TL Type S. So far my thoughts are I love this car. It may not be as fast as the type s, but it definitely is full of features and is all wheel drive! I will post pictures as soon as I get a chance to take some. I upgraded to the 18" ISP Mode wheels. If anyone is interested in the stock wheels let me know. Here's the link with pictures. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...ml#post5145250 I have 3k HID fogs on the way with yellow Lamin-X as well, plus the redout tail light film. The cars going to get tinted next week. I'm thinking 20% all around. Any questions feel free to ask.

Heres a link of my previous cars. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ml#post5145274. As you will tell I have the serious modding bug. I really need to stop. So as far as now, that is it for this bad boy.

Thanks guys, just ordered a painted roof spoiler off ebay, and am also planning on getting the f-sport springs installed as well. Yes im aware its not a drastic drop, but this is my first lease and I would like to stay under warranty as much as possible. Last 3 cars were owned, so I never gave a crap about warranty. I really want some sort of front lip on this car but so far I can't seem to find anything that fits the 2010. Any suggestions would be great!

FYI if you want an additional warranty on those springs you'll need to have a Lexus dealer install them, so be prepared to get bent over for labor on the install.

Interesting, why did you go from the TL to an IS, wouldn't the GS AWD have been more of a direct trade up (size wise, etc?)

yea i got quoted 6 hours of labor @ $110/hr. They said there gonna give me a call back tomorrow and see if that can work something out, because that is just too damn expensive for $250 springs.
