But that's the beauty of it! You can hoon it with your buddies, all while being completely enveloped in luxury, or at least more than what is offered on the IS350

yeah this was the new IS line launch event at angel stadium. saw your car, asked around for you but didn't get to meet you PD :/ . and yes the best handling was probably the is350 but the most fun was the LS imho. throwing around a large boat across the parking lot was fuuuuun!

I dig it, the contrast looks good but yeah, a bigger size would probably look better.

honestly thats what i see for this car in the far future...which is part of the reason behind the "paint"
i dont ever see myself selling it so either money is going into new paint and look good stuff
or into doing a manual swap of some sort and having a fun weekend car once i get a new daily

only reason i even am half okay with how it looks is that the wheels go with the chrome trim that i could leave..the rear trim was grey at best so i just painted over it. also, the lexus centercaps give it that little extra OEM plus look. youd never guess these came with 16x7 with how well 18s flow
