Default New IS250 owner - first car

Hey guys, I'm a new member here (though I've been lurking for a few months) and I just got a 2009 AWD IS250 about a month ago.

I have a few planned mods (rims, coilovers, exhaust, intake, molded Wald spoiler, etc) but for the most part plan to keep the stock look.

Pictures:
1- Right after I bought it, having it towed to my house (bought it in Miami, live in West Palm Beach). I drove my friends' IS there.
2- After I got the tint done. 3M 15% all around and 3M Crystalline on the windshield.
3- Parked next to my boss' S550 the other day; damn that car is sexy.

Anyways Congrats on the purchase! You'll love how this board will magically make you spending money like crazy!

Welcome! I just got a AWD model too.

I can't wait to take it to the snow which is about a few hours from me.

I debadged the rear end today so I think I'm going to order the Wald spoiler so I can get that molded on and the emblem holes filled in. It was so hot today I just peeled the emblems right off!

Yes... I already have like $5k in planned purchases haha. If I wasn't paying $380/month for insurance I could afford so much more!

I asked for and received a $3/hour raise a week after I got the car. He likes me! lol He joked that if this is my first car, my next car will be more expensive than his S550.

Congrats. I live in Florida though so I won't be needing AWD too often.

Nice, I live in Lake Worth and work in Boca. Are there any meets around here? I have no idea about the GFX side skirts, I'll have to check. I do want a front and rear lip though.
