Default 2015 IS250 F-Sport - Atomic Silver/Rioja Red Build Thread

Hello everyone. I just picked up a new 2015 IS250 F-Sport in the beautiful Atomic Silver/Rioja Red color combo. Here's a photo of what the car looks like now:

My previous car was a 2014 IS250 F-Sport in Ultra White on Black. This can be found in my previous build thread here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...ld-thread.html

Current mods on the car include:
Window Tinting
RS*R Down Springs
SPC Camber Kit
20" Vossen VFS1
Greddy Air Intake

Future mods include:
All Fit Automotive Front Lip
All Fit Automotive Side Skirt Kit

All mods will be transferred from my previous car to my new 3IS. I will post update photos as things are installed. Stay tuned!

My 20" Vossen VFS1 are finished in a custom gloss graphite finish

These will look really good with the Atomic Silver.

Update: 8/12/2015

Just dropped the car off at a local shop to have some stuff installed. Should be done in a couple hours and then I am going to do a photoshoot with a friend of mine. I will post those photos here when they're done. You can follow me on IG (link in my signature) to see behind the scenes photos.

Should be ready by tomorrow. Had to pick up something last minute so it pushed back the car a little bit.

Update 8/13/15

Picked up the car today with all of the mods. I must say that these wheels look way better on the Atomic Silver than they would on an Ultra White 3IS IMO. Here she is:

2015 IS250 F-Sport - Atomic Silver/Rioja Red Build Thread-kctmol1.jpg

Will be doing a photoshoot with a friend tonight so the lighting he will be using will help show off the glossy look of the wheels and the metallic accents in the car's paint. Will post these when available.

The mods pictured are:
20" Vossen VFS1 Gloss Graphite (Custom) 20x9/20x10
Toyo Proxes 4 Plus Tires 225/30/20 F and 255/30/20 R
RS*R Down Springs
SPC Rear Camber Kit
Muteki Lugs

Mods not pictured are:
Greddy Intake

I have the All Fit Automotive Side Skirt Kit but I need to order the front lip. I've had the side skirt kit for a while since I was going to install in on my previous car but never got around to it. Should be on within the next couple of weeks.

car looks great bud! Same setup I'd like but slightly lower with the super down springs... problem is I think I'd need slightly skinnier tires to make it fit. Haven't figured that out yet.
