Hello CL,
I bought a 2007 awd is250 6 months ago and couldn't be happier
. Finally, I can say that my car has come a long way since I bought it considering Its a LOW budget build . I just made this thread to share some pics of my mods nothing too crazy but here it goes
I know I know needs to be lower , but I'm very limited because it's an AWD![Confused](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

Today I finally installed my Vertex replica front lip and Gfx rear lip . Install took me around 6 hours From start to finish. The key is to prep everything and test fit 10 times because the actual install just takes 10 mins. thankfully my friend helped me out![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

After using the heat gun and worked the edges, I was able to have a nice flush fitment .

I didn't know what I was doing lol. I failed to do a research before buying . I own an Evo and inside the Evo world AWD is an advantage so, I had that state of mind when buying my Is250.
