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!

 

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.

 

Get her the FlyAudio unit for her birthday

 

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.

 

Odds are the wife won't like the ride of a lowered ride.
Also is it advisable to stagger wheels on an AWD? I thought it was ill-advised

 

No offense to her .... but she should be happy you bought her such a nice, trouble free luxury car...

Teach her a lesson and trade it in for an aveo JK JK

 

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

 

lol that's a good one

 

lol. my wife would love it if i make her car look sexy get Tein H. Tech for max comfort i recon. even though just a lil drop it will still look better than stock height
