YouTuber Showcases Inspiring Lexus IS 300 Drift Build

Auto influencer shops parts on eBay and then prepares his Lexus IS 300 to become an unstoppable drifting machine.

YouTuber K_Bunz has been tracking the mods he’s been making to his Lexus IS 300, and now he is back with a new video showcases the steps he’s taken to add some cool updates using parts he found on eBay. In this edition of his popular YouTube series, in an episode titled “IS 300 Drift Build Update,” he goes over the installation of a D-Max hood vent and a blade that he says is “some new one I saw on eBay.”

It’s an interesting mix of updates, and judging from his previous work on his Lexus, we suspected it would be another inspiring job, and it certainly is. By the end of the clip, despite needing a paint job, the IS is looking quite good, and the hood vent melds nicely with the new wheels and overall edgy aesthetic.

So, if you’ve been looking for some cool home garage projects to get your car ready for summer, you’ll want to check out his video update.

There’s not a lot of dialogue in the video because, as he mentions, the shop is busy and he does not want to be a distraction. However, this clip does not need much dialogue and it still accomplishes its goal of expertly showcasing the steps taken to complete the DIY garage projects.

“First I’m going to do the D-Max hood vent,” he says after a trip to pick up the necessary tools. “The hood on the car it’s got some dings in it so I’m going to do it on that one first because I don’t want to ruin my good hood If I don’t like it.”

“Then I’ll show you guys the car,” he adds. “It’s looking pretty sweet: new wheels, wide-body, all kinds of stuff. Hoping to get it painted. Once it’s painted, I’ll do the swap and then back to drifting.”

We wouldn’t have it any other way.
