Exclamation What to do in the first week

Hi, I'm picking up my lexus IS 350 AWD fsport this Friday, and I was hoping to get some suggestions on what to do within the first week of getting the vehicle! Thanks!

I guess it depends on your budget. I started with my Windows Tinted and LED's interior. I like to make mods on my car little by little but if you have the money go all out. Tint and Rims would be a great start. Enjoy and congrats on your new IS3.

Yea man enjoy stock for a few days...as far as mods are concerned, there's really not too much out at this point and your budget is also a factor.

Most will start off with....

Tint
Intake
Led Interior & turn signals

Play with the Nav system, it's a bit confusing to get around.

Thanks for our input, as well as titoman. I already put a tint on and different rims. What do you mean by intake and turn signals?

Oh cool. I would definitely wax my car the first week also so it has some sort of paint protection to keep off bugs, water spots, etc.
