Hey guys, my name is Matt (Ventura, CA) and I'm relatively new to CL. 2007 Tungsten Pearl IS250. I have been looking around the forum at peoples cars and builds and DIY mods and what not, and finally decided to begin a build thread (hoping that it will motivate me to actually do more mods). I am a high school student, so my money is not endless.. but creativity and efficiency help me out quite a bit. Don't have much done to the car, but thought i would post this for feedback for further mods. Here it is, i'll try to post as many pics as possible.

I was in Mammoth snowboarding! I heard though, all of my buddies were calling me. Wish I was here. Which reminds me, I want to get racks for my ride, I do not enjoy putting my board in my back seat. Its in a bag and all, but i just dont like the idea of it on my leather.

lol i was at bear...snow was pretty good but packed like a ****.
i got racks for my car too. its just a pain in the *** to drive with them and have the moonroof open becuase the sound is like unbareable...they cost me like $700.00 but i only got surf racks.
where do you surf at?

Hmm, the ones from Sewell? or another brand?
And pretty much everywhere. Point, Emma Wood, South Jetty, and Oxnard Shores mostly.

Not bad, for a beginner I like what you've done with your ride, however i'd like to ask ho w is the air flow on your stock air intake sence you custom cut the air box chamber..?? This is the first time i've seen this done..? Does that really work for you?? Is that really supposed to work like a IS F Sport air intake filter..??

Just bought and installed some Hella Horns! Painted them blue, plugged them in, grounded them, and threw the covers back on! Next up i need to level them as they are sort of staggered. I also want to buy the isf replica grille...

The Hella's!!! (I know the license plate holes need to be filled... it's disgusting..)
anywhoo... took off the cover, painted them blue and threw em back on. Hooked up the OEM harness to the Hella and then Grounded it as well. Cut and trimmed the metal to get them to be as level as possible. Not quite level, but better than where they were located at the stock position.
