Wife's driving me nuts
My wife's 2006 IS250AWD is coming up on 90K miles and true to form she's ready for a new car.
I'm not getting her one, but would like to put a little money into the car to freshen it up for her and make it "new" again for her. I plan on taking it to the dealership for a suspension tune-up and I think there's a bent axle so that'll be replaced, but that's as far as I've gotten. So I'm looking for some ideas? Any suggestions? Go crazy, she is. |
find some used wheels for her. non staggered setup would be fairly reasonably priced. plus greatly changes the look of the car. she would defiently think thats freshen up
|
Have the car detailed inside and out, to make it look like new.
|
Hahaha it might be easier to pay up for a new car. Wheels and a lip kit might do the trick, if it doesnt have HID lights maybe install some.
|
How dare she. Get a divorce.
|
^^ LMAO! :thumbup:
|
if it doesnt have nav, you could try the swap out. Thats my wife's biggest gripe with her ride.
One day I'll surprise her with a nice in dash unit. |

i agree. lower the car with springs, get 18/19s non staggered + kit. m sure the new looks will make your wife change her mind :)

Buy her a new car, it's cheaper than a new wife.

Also is it advisable to stagger wheels on an AWD? I thought it was ill-advised |

Buy her a older Lexus, and wrap it up like a present. Take photos of the reaction and post.

Odds are the wife won't like the ride of a lowered ride.
