Default After 6 mos of ownership...I "think" I'm done modding for now..Photos inside

Hey Guys,

This is my crystal white 06 IS350. I purchased it about 6 months ago bone stock. I started purchasing and collecting parts and finally got everything on. This is what I've done so far:

GFX Front Lip
F-Sport Intake
F-Sport Exhaust
F-Sport Sways
V-LED's all around
Yellow HID Fogs
Buddy Club Racing Spec Coilovers
HRE 540R's, custom power coated 19x8.5 F 19x10 R +22 on Hankook V12's.

I'm contemplating LED tail lights, a roof spoiler and blacking out the roof, but we'll see later. For now I think I'm good. All the work was done at LTBMW in El Monte, CA. <--Thanks guys.

Enjoy!





Stance!

IS-F / Ebay LED taillights would really finish off your car since its white. I would add a GFX rear lip and maybe powdercoat the front calipers white.

I wouldn't black out the roof, it'll look too much like a Scion TC.

I agree about the IS-F Ebay LED's. I've almost pressed the "buy" button a few times. I just can't get over the fact they're ebay tail lights, but at the same time I think OEM IS-F tail lights are overpriced.

Ahh F it...i'll start browsing ebay now.

I know that feeling!! IT ***** man... Every site gets blocked, I had to request CL to be un-blacklisted and got a hook up.


Back on topic, yeah buddy you say now you are done... tomorrow you go out and buy something new. Wish I could look at the pictures, but maybe tonight when I find an unsecured line to hope on.
