Just got myself a 06' IS250

My Honda prelude was on its way out, and I had just got a job offer (I graduate in May) - so they salaried me before I was out of school so I figured it was time to upgrade.


Would like to add a roof spoiler and to lower it a bit (probably won't because of the winters though)

Here it is after the drive home after buying it - handled the snow like a champ



... and another rough cell picutre



Thanks in advance everyone for all the info I'm going to be hitting you guys up for!

Welcome to the club. You gotta lower that thing a bit with those wheels. That should be a crime to drive like that.

It is the AWD

Honestly, no clue what the wheels are, I probably should figure it out.... Everything you see there is how it came when I bought it.

I would like to lower it, but with the snow here, and the fact its so low already its hard to justifiy it.... I may see how a little bigger tire will look/fill up the space.



Thanks guys
