Thanks! I loved my SC but they are getting old/dated now and i wanted something newer, the 2IS is just on another level.... i recently took it in for a recall and the dealer loaned me a 2011 ES350 with 1200mi on it and i was glad to have my IS back afterwards.
I wasnt sure what options come with what package.... seems like no 2 cars are optioned the same to me but mine seemed to have a lot of options compared to others ive seen but you are right it doesnt have PCS or headlight washers but it does have XM (you can clearly see my shark fin in the above pics) however i havent hooked it up because i think xm is a ripoff/scam and i prefer to plug my ipod into the aux input.

 

Seems like a Carlsson replica, here is the authentic.

The lower part is very similar but that one just sits below the bumper...

 

Great progress, but I never can understand why people love to run black wheels without a BBK. From those pictures, it took me some time to figure out they were Forgestar F14s; the style gets lost due to the color.

 

the 350 pretty much has a BBK already. 4 pot in the front.. all he has to do is paint them if he wanted to. Black wheels look fine with out a BBK...

 

Great work on making sure your car is looking better than how the previous owner took care of it, or lack thereof for that matter.

 

Hey fellow SC member, very nice ride and tasteful mods. Are you any where around the Greenville area? I'm trying to throw together a meet or two sometime this summer.

Bullet holes in the hood? WOW! If it was in a police chase and impounded, you probably got it from a seizure auction?

Anyhow, enjoy the car...as I have been my 350 since April 1st.

 

Wow so you had an actual bullethole in your hood ! Did it damage anything inside the engine bay?

I'm glad you bought it and gave it some TLC. It's looking much improved and I like it aside from the front lip (mainly because fitment looks off). You mentioned you only bought it because you needed it asap, any plans on replacing it or getting a different lip/lip kit?

 

Thanks for the compliments guys..... Im not a baller like some of you but i do what i can ballin' on a budget....


You reffering to me??? As stated the IS350 has some damn big brakes on it stock, those 4 pots up front get the job done with no problems, however i do plan on some drilled.slotted rotors next time i do the brakes..... And as far as the rims go i have no clue what you are talking about im running factory Lexus G-spyders powdercoated black.

Ive already painted the calipers black...... looks SOOOOO much better!!


Hey man, im in Columbia so not too far away.... I tried to arrange a meet last year which was unsuccessful mainly due to most owners being too lazy to go out of town for a meet.... everyone wanted it to be close to them and no one would compromise so i just gave up.... As far as where i got it, i bought it from a wholesaler and he told me he got it thru a bank repo which i know was true because i had to have all the repo paperwork from the bank to get my title...what a PITA that was!!!!!

No damage to the engine bay if you look at the pics i posted it looks as if someone was shooting from the pass. seat and hit a bump or something and the bullet entered where you see the big hole and bounced around inside the hood in between the 2 layers and exited where the hood meets the headlight... somehow it only damaged the hood
As far as the lip goes i really wanted a WALD replica but something happened to the seller and i couldnt get it... I like the one i have now and i have no plans to replace it, the only people that would notice it wasnt supposed to look that way are probably forum members on here which i couldnt care less about... i cant justify a $700 front lip because its been my experience that they get damaged too easily.

***Here is some more progresss***
Yellow fogs.. (i have 3000K HID's but they arent yellow enough so i had to get extreme) Looks AWESOME at night!!!!!





And i picked up a deal on this from a fellow forum member.... doesnt add any power but i think it looks cool as ****.... i think next thing on the list is an F-sport shift ****....

 

nice cars yu got there, i do think the g-spyders look better in their standard silver/graphite finish tho.

 

Nice car! May I ask how much you got the car for? Keep up the work!
