Smile Hi! Here is my car...

Hi Folks,

This is my first post here but I have been lurking since I bought my 07 IS350 in November. Firstly, before I show you my car, I'd like to say thank you to you all for the tons of useful information you have shared here! I have spent hours and hours using the search function to answer A LOT of questions I had and to get some ideas on how to start modifying my car. Some stuff has been easy and others not so easy (my own fault).

So without further adieu......

2007 IS350 Obsidian with Black Interior, Lux pack, Nav with Mark Levinson








Just in the process of uploading more pictures so I will be back to update you all on some of the things I've done so far and things to look forward to

Welcome to CL.

For future reference, you can post the image code here on the forums and it will post your picture directly so you dont have to post the actual link

Edit: I didnt read the part about you trying that already. Sometimes that happens to me when I try to view a thread at work because I have some photo sharing sites blocked

Thanks for the welcome, guys!

Ok, going to try and recall in order the small mods I have made over the past few months.

- Blue LED interior lights to match the illuminated door sills.






(I know they aren't to everyone's liking and I may change them eventually as the blue really messes with your eyes).

- LED DRLs


- LED Front Fogs (Might go for HID fogs in the future)


- F Sport Shift **** (The leather was worn on the original one, plus I like the blue stitching)


- Redout on turn signals


Before.


After.


- Tried my hand at plasti Dip on the badges, it didn't come out too well so I am going to re do when I have more time.




I have also installed an F Sport air filter and modified the intake box (for the noise), I am in the process of ordering a Joe Z intake pipe too.

I hope you like what I have done so far, all subtle for now but will be looking to go lower in the summer and tints will be coming in Feb so I'll post more pics then.

Hello, welcome to CL. For uploading pictures from flickr, I think you have to:

1-click on the picture
2-view all sizes
3-choose the size
4-right click on the picture and copy the URL
5-paste it inbetween [IMG][/IMG] tags

I can help you editing the post, but It's better for you to learn.

Even easier method for next time: It allows people to click on the image to view your flickr page, too.
1 - click on the picture
2 - click share (in the upper left corner of the picture)
3 - click "Grab the HTML/BBCode" (then make sure BB code is selected at the bottom)
4 - copy and paste the code into the message box (it already has [img] tags)

Good looking car!

Thanks for sharing, I'm not very familiar with Flickr.

I had an "ouch" moment when I first got my car, I was pulling into a parking space with a high curb and.....


I have painted it to cover the damage but now it's an excuse to get a GFX front lip!

I also had someone nearly side swipe me in Zaxbys parking lot, I think they were texting! and also someone put a small crease in my passenger door when I was parked at work....all in the first week!! Now I park in BFE!
