Default hello guys finally got my first lexus

Well it is finally that time for me. finally getting my first Lexus. After four civics, a awd turbo eclipse and, an Audi im stepping up my game.. Oh forgot to mention im 6'7" and big build. 350+ so the civic was just a little small and it was time to upgrade to something bigger

Im going to pick the car up this weekend. I will have to replace the heater core most likely. Possibly replace some interior pieces. I have a tte lip on the way soon and going to do an aggressive rear trunk lip. wangan style..

Now for the waiting game on the rest of my tax money so i can buy wheels or control arms haven't decided on what all to get.

After all the aesthetics are done ill most like do a gte swap and single turbo. and borderline between 5sp or staying auto.

Here are some pictures of the recent civic and new Lexus.

You won't have to get rid of the driver's seat and sit in the back seat in the Lexus :P

Nice gs, sort of wish i held out for a black one. How dark are those windows in the back though? I have 35s and I have had nothing but problems with the police. Maybe because the cps where i live have nothing else to do.
