Hi everyone, I currently drive a RX350, but I will probably be trading it in to get a 08 or 09 IS 250. I was just wondering beyond changing the interior lights, what are some other cool things I can do to a IS for under $200.

 

depends if u like the interior wood trim but u can get a real carbonfiber overlay kit for around that price.

 

ya, I did see that post. looks pretty neat!

 

F Sport shift ****, intake ( a used one), rear sway bar from Sewell Lexus, red outs and a few other things. Good luck!

 

wow sewell is amazing haha, thanks for that tip!

 

ps. does anyone know what type of leds go into the map lights, front door lights, and passenger dome light?

 

Brociuz posted a nice DIY thread on changing the interior lights with LEDs.

Just do a quick search

If you scour the classified section, you may pick up some nice deals. I picked up a nice F-Sport Intake for about $200

EDIT:

Here the link to the guide

thanks so much!

 

i think you can get gfx side skirts or an oem spoiler for under 200 as well! goodluck on your choice and happy modding!

 

hey man, where in ma are you? I live over in western ma, looking to buy 08 is250 too lol. where you been looking? i seem to have found the better prices out in the NYC area.

not to hijack a thread, but you guys think 08 AWD is250 with navi and 19k miles, non certified, for about $23.5k is a good deal? or can i knock off at least another thousand?

 

I live in Boston, my family has bought 3 lexus(s) from the Herb Chambers Lexus dealer in Sharon. So we have a little pull just being 10 year customers of theirs.

 

Besides interior LEDS. You can do some more lighting upgrades. HID fogs/HID low beams. And still have enough left over for a used intake. Get some plasti dip and plasti dip the emblems/grille.

 

Not necessarliy a good deal, but this is not a bad deal! It is always nice if you can knock it down a lil more. Spent a few hundred bucks to have the car inspected by an machanic shop and see if you find any problems.

My last resort to bargin when I purchased the vehicle is that I noticed the tires are wearing out, so I told him to drop 500 (the price to replace 2 tires), which he did.

 

carbon wraps would look good i think.

 

Boston here too. ) I bought 3 cars from HC too, they seem to be nicer than most other places.
