Default New to CL - 2011 IS250 AWD - Starlight Black

Hey everyone! My name is Ryan and this is my first time posting anything on CL, so go easy on me.

Like the title says, she's a 2011 IS250 in Starlight Black. Surprisingly, I haven't heard of too many IS's in this color. I personally love it though.

So far, here's what I've done:

F Sport Springs, F Sport Exhaust, F Sport Shift ****, F Sport Upper & Lower Grille, F Sport Centre Caps, 17x8 TSW Nurburgring Gunmetal, Front Lip, Roof Spoiler, 4300K Philips HID Kit (Lows & Fogs), Blacked Out Emblems

Enough of that though.... Here are some pics. Sorry for the pathetic phone shots. I will definitely get some better pics next time.

Thanks guys! Trust me, I wish I could go bigger on the rims. But I do a lot of driving (over 40k per year) and the roads where I live are literally the worst I have ever seen. Potholes here are more like sinkholes, and the roads look like swiss cheese. No joke!

And as far as lowering, I doubt I can go any lower. Everywhere you go, there is some kind of ramp or little curb to go up, and I have scraped too many times already for my liking. I get so envious looking at all of you guys' cars!

Nice car. I really like your color! They don't have Starlight Black for the IS in the USA. If they did, I might've went for that instead of SGM.

Great start! Maybe some side and rear splitters to match the front splitter. I can appreciate the beefier tires, I'm starting to like the beefy/functional tire look.

Starlight wasn't offered in the USA, so it's not too common on here.

Thanks. I have been looking for something for the sides and rear, but i'm not too sure what would flow well with the front splitter. Anyone got some suggestions?

Without question the Lexus is250 looks good in black. I'm taking this puppy home tomorrow. 😎
