Default New guy here!

Hey guys I want to introduce myself to the forum. I've been using this site for a lot of info but decided to get a little bit more involved. I live down in Miami, FL. As for my car its an 06 350, and was purchased new but was my wife's car. Recently she bought the 2013 GS350 Fsport, and was going to trade in the IS. At the time I had a Acura TL, so i basically told her to trade in the TL and ill keep the IS. No regrets whats so ever, plus knowing the whole history behind the car since she bought it new in 06 was a big plus for me. So since i've had it I put megan coils on it. Just the other day i decided to install a roof wing that my girl bought back in 06 lol. I also bought a grill from one of the members here and decided to debadge the rear. I had some extra time so I washed her up and decided to take some pics. Here you guys go.

Your car looks identical to mine, I got the heat plate on my obsidian black, and I stay in Miami. The car looks good, I'd keep the IS myself too.

I really hope a mod resizes these pictures.

I would have kept the IS over the TL also, but very nice of you to let your wife get a new car and you keep the old one. The car is my weakness, I would want an upgrade too

Great looking car. I also came from a TL and the only major thing really annoys me on my Lexus is that the pedal shifters are useless and you cannot change gear manually. I miss my TL on that. Cannot imagine how Lexus got this stupid idea. I really don;t know if there is any other manufacture to have such a useless shifters.
