Cool My new ride!

Hello club lexus! I finally got my first ride. I just graduated from Highschool and my parents bought me a used 2006 Lexus IS250 AWD, Smokey Granite Gray. I did want a IS300 at one time, but I guess I can't complain since I got the newer generation of the IS series.

Im love'n my car right now, can't wait to mod this.

What do you guys suggest I get for my first mods?

Here are some pictures, Haha don't mind my younger brothers 11' STI

Very nice! Welcome to CL!

I would start with the basics..... rear spoiler, maybe roof spoiler, front & rear lip, then do other things like wheels & lower it. You'll find tons of mods you can do surfing around the 2IS section here!

.....I hope the leg humping stays to a minimum in this thread

Saweeeet! Congrats and welcome! Younger brothers 2011 STI? What's up with that? Lol. I would start on the drop. Sexy appeal will go up 200% for your ride once u drop it.

Haha, I was quite surprised he got a car too, and hes only 16, barely even out of Highschool. That fortunate basterd.

My parents decided to get him a car too, since I got mine.
