Default New IS350!

Hey all, so I picked up my 2010 IS350 last Friday. I finally had time to wash/wax it up after getting my windows tinted, so I thought now is the time to throw up some pictures. It's got the sport package with nav/ML and I just put on the F-sport rear sway bar this weekend. Car drives great now!

And before someone chimes in "looks good, now drop it," I have no current plans for any further modifications of this car However, if at some point, I am unhappy with the ride (could still bit a bit tighter, but it handles pretty darn well after the rear sway), then I will probably look at doing some coils and wheels (but you know, it's a slippery path, so I'm going to stay out of trouble )

Not only do you have the same car I have (well, mine is 2009), but you're also from the same place. I'm in Austin texas as well with an '09 Tungsten Pearl IS350.

It just looks that way. It's illegal to tint the windshield. I assume by front, you meant windshield anyway

looks good, now drop it.

the one mod that i would really encourage is redouts. looks way better on the 09+ tails.

I don't really understand the whole redouts thing. Is it just something that sticks onto the lights from the outside? Doesn't it just get ripped off in a car wash or something like that?

no they don't get ripped off. they're stiff vinyl stickers. they hold on pretty well.

you know that amber part on the edge of your taillights? it doesn't flow with the tails. redouts

from this

Hrm yeah, I might give those a shot. They do seem good from a distance, I just wonder if you can tell that they're stickers from close up.
