Hey Everyone !
New to this just purchased my 1st Lexus CPO 07' Tungsten Pearl. Got a few questions fig they would be best answered here since the dealerships dont know much unless they expeierenced it already or its in a book.. Anyways the thing thats been buggin the most is the owners manual says you can hold down the unlock button and remotely open the windows and sunroof however it does nothing when I do it.. I called Lexus they dont know, but what I have read is that its possible it might have been disabled by someone if so how do I get this feature unlocked or is it a option..
Also the Xenons are a lil unlevel the drivers is lower then the passengers Ive read this is normal for oncoming traffic but this is the 1st car ive owned with these options so Im not sure and the passenger one is slightly bluer/purplisher/brigther then the driver one which is alot whiter not really brighter thou should I have them replace the bulb since I just got it yest I mentioned it to them and they said if it blows they will replace it.
Well sure Ill have more questions and look forward to having a community behind me to share all this about, I have pictures but still trying to get them to save in my computer, will post them soon.

Hello all. My first Lexus 
arrived two weeks ago on a car carrier from Massachusetts (purchased from a good friend). I haven't had time to take any pictures but will post when I do. The IS is a 2007 and I plan on getting it repainted as there are some chips in the hood and front/rear bumpers. There are also some chips in the mirrors but I plan on replacing them with the Sewell replacement mirrors (auto-dimming & tilt). Anyone know if they are just P&P?
Here are the details for my baby:
1. Model 250
2. AWD
3. Obsidian
4. 18s (will need to replace as they show wear around the edges)
5. Spoiler (added myself)
6. Cashmere leather / tan carpet & trim
7. Replaced standard door sill with illuminated (from Seawell), added stainless chrome pillars
, added Billet Grilles top/bottom
8. PICS Coming soon
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do with rusty looking rotors and drums?
Thanks.

Hey guys. Been poking around on the forums for a few days and just wanted to introduce myself.
1. 09 IS250
2. AWD
3. Black Sapphire Pearl
4. Grey Interior
5. Nav
Coils are going to be ordered this week. Will probably get light tint this week as well. I'll be looking around for some wheels. Not sure what route I want to go with them yet. I'll post up some pics when I'm not stock.

Hello, New IS350 Owner!
Hi, just joined the forum...Just got a Lexus! first time owner, traded in my 2006 330i, so I can actual speak to some of the differences between Lexus and Bimmers! I am hoping that I can get some tuner info from this forum, nothing extensive, rims, tires, lowering ride height to start. Requested info on my Car
1. 2011 IS 350
2. AWD
3. Smokey Granite Mica
4. Wheels: 17s OEM
5. no spoiler
6. Interior color - Black
7. As mentioned hoping to get some slick 19s (considering Linea Corse LC818 either gun metal or silver), lowering ride hight (either F sport or Eibach
)
8. Pics to come once it is summer and I can keep it clean from the car wash to my home
) Spring!
9. Ottawa, Canada (hence the need for AWD and inability to keep my car clean in Winter and Spring!)
10 - to come...
