Hey CL, my name is Calvin, 20 years old and live in Sugar Land, Texas. I wanted to share what I've done with my car so far and have a place where I can keep a record of how much money I've wasted
.
My previous car, a 2008 Accord Coupe V6 auto w/ Navi
![](http://i44.tinypic.com/29glr0m.jpg)
I've had her exactly a year now, (July 2012) a 2008 IS250 in Smokey Granite Mica.

Very first thing I did... Change all the dash and window switch LED's to blue (didn't do that great of a job and never bothered to fixed the broken ones since haha). Probably shouldn't have done this first...
![](http://i40.tinypic.com/rwt0fq.jpg)
Changed my exterior lights, 6000k lowbeams and 8000k fogs
![](http://i42.tinypic.com/x6dhnc.jpg)
Picked up the M2 Exhaust and a week later did a resonator delete. Check out my Youtube Channel for sound clips as well as other mods I've done
![](http://i40.tinypic.com/30ub72b.jpg)
Changed the exterior lights and Plastidipped the grille surround + rear emblems
Nokya Arctic White low beams, Nokya Hyper Yellow lowbeams, Nokya Hyper Yellow highbeams
![](http://i41.tinypic.com/2cf34ig.jpg)
I also did the foglight mod
![](http://i41.tinypic.com/b84kzo.jpg)
Hardwired my Radar Detector into the mirror as well as made a dumb looking mount but it works lool
![](http://i43.tinypic.com/a0l57b.jpg)
Installed blue footwell lights with IJDMToy Music Box, as well as blue puddle lights
Come around December I lowered her on Hotchkis Springs as well as built a tow hook licence plate holder

![](http://i41.tinypic.com/2uggbyt.jpg)
![](http://i40.tinypic.com/a0v1nd.jpg)
Then I put on some XXR 527 in Gold. Rolled and Pulled the rear fenders but still rub a bit over dips and when there are passengers
![](http://i44.tinypic.com/11v625y.jpg)
![](http://i42.tinypic.com/wuijwn.jpg)
Got my headlight and foglight housings painted satin black
Also switched my lowbeams to 8000k HIDs
![](http://i39.tinypic.com/slhb1i.jpg)
Sold my M2 Exhaust and installed an electronic exhaust cutout
Then took a little leap and plastidipped her Tiffany Blue. Also put on Wald rep Front Lip and Trunk Spoiler. Also some random roof spoiler I don't know what brand. Also some GFX Exhaust Tips
![](http://i39.tinypic.com/2ibey4i.jpg)
![](http://i44.tinypic.com/alhky1.jpg)
Also installed a Hide-Away License Plate Holder but it rubs on stuff as I'm driving and the paint is almost gone on it xD
![](http://i39.tinypic.com/2uhn90z.jpg)
I thought these pics look nice

Looks like a good start and way to detail the process. However, just my opinion, but I don't care for the interior but the exterior is unique. You need black side skirts to match your front lip now.
