Hey y'all
New to most of this as my new car being my first Lexus and this being first time I post I'm forums. Anyway got it a couple months back and just been looking through the forums and figurered posting would help out more. Thinking about some mods on my car just not quite sure which ones. So far thinking window tinting and an exhaust, really like the tanabe one just wish i knew how it sounded. Any suggestions from anyone on anything else I could be interested in?

Welcome! A nice drop (tanabe's or rs-r's) and spacers are a must for me. Sets the car off!

Thanks guys. Honestly can't really say what kind of look I'm going for, still trying to decide. I love the chrome gives it that luxury look. Thinking about lowering sometime in the future. I'm just trying to get some ideas I can't think of myself

Nice ride and welcome!

A few suggested mods:
-F-Sport Bumper Fogs
-"L" style Front lip (http://www.ebay.com/itm/L-Style-Fron...-/391167972034)
-LED Reverse, Trunk, Puddle, Signal lamps
-Illuminated Door Sills

Tint will look great - my old GS was silver with dark tint and it really made all the difference in the look of the car.

Welcome to the forums. The first mod I did personally and I recommend to new owners is the Apexi Accell. Any sort of delay or sluggishness will be gone with it. It feels like I have instant throttle and makes driving much more fun. I need to make a video of the difference in this car.
