Default My '05 CW - Updated 6/19/09 (post #19)

*** New Pics post #19 ***

Well it's time that I finally joined here. I've read about "club lexus" ever since I joined my.is back in 2006. lol it's about time i joined.

Back in 2006 I got a 2001 SBM IS 300. It was a fun car, didn't do much to it, just some tint and some ADR rims. After a year I found a 2005 CW black leather 5 speed with 29k miles and I had to have it. So the '01 "went" to my sister. My mom drove it for another year and it is now my sisters (she just turned 16 )

So on to my car...







Now, I've taken off my Bronze Work Emotion XD9's (5x114.3 18x8 +45 all around. PM me if interested ) and I've lowered my car more. This is how it currently sits.









And then I finally got around to moving my horns



My Works are for sale. And I'm in the process of buying new rims.

All comments good and bad are welcome!

Welcome, like it so far, but especially on a CW, I would get clear markers, or delete them, new wheels should look great, love the white with gold look.

Thanks!

we had a discussion on my.is about the clear markers. I personally like the amber especially with my head lights. The only reason I would change them would be if I went with aftermarket bumpers (or stock JDM) that removed them.
