Hello all, I would like to start off by apologizing regarding to my username, couldn't think of anything that met the criteria but I would like to introduce myself.
Purchased my 06 IS250 awhile back at 110K and now running strong at 177k, probably the highest mile IS i've yet seen so far. I am currently in the United States Air Force as a Plumber, Married with two dogs, been using the site for well over a year but never took the time to sign up. This site has helped me numerous times with oil changes, rattles and even recalls and I am thankful for the search button!
I have yet to purchase anything aftermarket. But the car you see in the pictures are how it exactly looks when i first puchased the vehicle. I apologize for my punctuation, its not so great but again thanks !
Mods: Walds replica Lip Megan Coilovers, K&N Intake, Custom Magnaflow Exhaust, Cheap XXR's

Is 350
What up? New to the club but been doin my research on this site for a while. Jus got my new baby about 10 days ago 2008 IS 350 Luxury Package. Tungston Pearl. ( Navi, Mark Levison, fully loaded). It had 69500 miles when i got it so it came certified with a 3 year warranty. The day I drove it home it got 35% tint all around. About 4 days later I added K&N cold air intake system and some 19" Vossen CV3's. Unfortuntaly was rubbing fenders in the back (only the back) and eating up some tires. (I thini it might be the offset and too big off tires.) So I put back on the factory 18"'s until I can resolve the issue or get some different rims. I also have some road magnet springs I was gona put on that are suppose to give it a 2 inch drop all around but after the 19's were rubbing I decided to hold off and I think Im gona go with the Eibach drop intead which im sure you are all know is 1" up front and .8" in the back. I use this as my daily driver and we dont have the best roads so i dont need anything drastic. I dont want to mod any fenders, rub, scrape, drag, or any that over speed bumps or driveways etc. Also I need to be able to have at least 3 people in the car.. Any body know specific tire package set up for CV3's that might help with my problem? Thanks for any help. Ill add a few of the pics I have now. Tell me what you guys think. Thx in advance and Im glad to be part of the club! You guys have some sick whips! and def helped make my mind out about what car to get!

You dont have to neccessarily get other wheels, you can still drop it and just may have to do a fender roll on the back may sound like a lot of work but do some Google and see if theres a reliable shop that may do it for you, 2" drop would be really nice on those wheels... Also what size tires are you running in the back? You may get away with some 245/40 tires in the rear and that could also help on not rolling your fenders all the way or at all

If you dont want to go that low then yeah you can get away with 255s a nice fatter look... You may want to look into some megan or H&R springs so you dont drop it too low... Or if you dont mind spending the money get some megan coils and decide what would be a good height for your set up... Either way though I would still suggest a slight roll by the look of your wheels.

Hey everyone. I am new to the IS scene, but not new to CL. I recently retired my 1996 ES300 that went for 206k miles. It still ran great, but it was time to buy the car I have been wanting for years now. I bought my 2006 IS350 in December, 2013. It has just over 60k miles on it and it is everything I could have asked for... Well, until I start adding the mods. I live in Vancouver, WA and have only owned Toyota products since I could drive. My first car was a 1985 Celica GT-S. I would love any suggestions on exhaust, intake, suspension, and also what I can do to get some small scratches out of my paint. I love the F-Sport parts, but any suggestions would be so appreciated. I am very excited to be a part of the IS club. Here are some pictures of my "new" ride. Enjoy!!
1. Model - 350
2. RWD

4. 18" wheels, stock Lexus
