Sunny (not) northern ireland here. Couple pics of my last 2is (sold about 2 weeks ago) as well as my new to me 2010 is220d F Sport. Apparently only around 300 is220d F Sports were sold between the UK and here. Not sure how many in europe as a whole though. Have some plans for the F Sport, some i did previously on my old 07 SE and some new. Looking to punch in a higher hp/tq figure than i managed on my old silver one (300lbft/170hp stock on a hub dyno up to 383lbft/231hp on same dyno/same day). Hoping to push nearer 400/250 with a bit of luck and some extra tweaks/mods. Both cars are 6 speed manual (no auto option on the european diesel variant).

Similar story here, always thought it'd be out of my price range and then ended up getting one because it was cheaper than a Subaru. The only other contender was the Acura TL but I just couldn't do the aesthetics especially the Gillette grill even with it's SH-AWD.

Hi everyone,

Ive been a lurker on these forums for some time, but never joined until now. I have a 2007 Lexus IS350 RWD Magnetic Gray that Ive owned for 3 years now. Its completely stock save for brand new LED DRL headlights that I installed a week ago. The stock lights were pretty badly oxidized. I thought about some exhaust mods and stuff, but will probably hold off since Id like to get a 2012-14 ISF in a couple years.

Ill post a couple of before and after pics with the old and new headlights in a bit. For now I need to go post about a weird issue that just started happening with the car this evening. Lol

Default 06 is350

Introducing myself and my "new" IS350. This is my first Lexus, but I did work at a Toyota dealer in Miami for 6 years, and the overall reliability and ease of maintenance/repair were a big part of the purchase.

1. 350
2. RWD
3. Pearl White
4. 18" OE Sport Wheels painted black
5. No spoiler
6. Grey and black leather
7. 2-owner car, both older couples from TN. It has 114k miles, and has had every service done at Lexus of Knoxville.

So far I've added 8K HID low beams and fogs, and have ordered 8K LED DRL's. I also ordered Tein S-Tech springs, plus the trunk lip, rear window lip, front lip, and rear diffuser, which my buddy will be painting for me. I plan on adding a darker tint, and just enjoying driving the hell out of it.

Default 2008 is 250

IS 250
RWD
Glacier Frost Mica
18s OEM
Trunk lip
Cashmere/black interior
Austin, TX

First time Lexus owner. Coming from a '98 Honda Accord Coupe. Loved it but needed to upgrade to something with 4 doors and the reliability of Lexus hooked me right away. Need to get the rear view mirror either replaced or repaired due to it fading (any recommendations?). Also wanted to get some recommendations for visual mods. I was thinking about getting black pearl emblems and either painting the wheels black or getting some black wheels. Was also thinking about finding the OEM ground FX and installing them myself. Not really interested in performance mods since it's just a daily driver.

I bought a carbon fiber insert for the rear emblem. Contrast looks good i think. $20

Hi there!

I'm new to the group, but while I was shopping for this particular model for months I found this community to be extraordinarily helpful in finding answers to all my questions.

1. IS250
2. AWD
3. Truffle Mica (it looks like a dark grey to me)
4. 17
5. No spoiler
6. Black
7. Super excited to finally upgrade from a 2002 Camry I bought 10 years ago. I managed to find a 2010 in great condition with only 48,000 miles on it!
