Default New Pics Of My Car Before And After!
Bought my 2006 IS350 1 month ago--I was super excited--came in as a trade--1 owner, super clean, dealer serviced--I jumped on it!

Ive been in the process of modifying/customizing it and Im done except for the Spectre air intake. Painted the rotors and calipers. Wheels are Niche Apex 18". I made custom decals. BTW TRD Club Sport is TRD Lexus Japan.

Check out the before and after pics!

Really like tje 18s, not so much the " duct" looking decals. like the painted calipers. And lastly , you're not done. Youve been bitten by the mod bug. It will consume you and make you spend money that you don't want to. It happens. But the car looks good:-)

That's a nice wheel. A front lip, side skirt will also look good.
