Talking PIX, IS 250 with some improvements

Here are some pics of my car. I've done the following thus far:


18" Chrome Rims to match the chrome accents of the car

Window Tint (not sure what %)

Turned off DRL ( I hate the faint yellow look)

Rear Spoiler (I think it makes the car look more aggresive)

Switched out parking lights

6000K HID conversion Kit

8000k bulbs for fog lights (I like the blue look over the yellow)


I still want to do more, but I dont know if i will or not.

What you guys think??

The tint is great for the car and from that one pic, I like the wheels too. It seems like a big lip.

I also agree that I don't like the yellowish tinge on the DRLs but I would never turn mine off for safety reasons. Even on my ES, I leave the headlights on all of the time so that I am more visible (They are HID so they look good too). Maybe leaving the headlights on all of the time is a better fix for DRL? Or is the purpose to just not have any forward lights?



Edit: As I was typing, you added more pics. I def like the wheels. And instead of DRLs I would just leave the headlights on all of the time and be proud of that awesome color headlights.

i am using reflector 5 bulbs.

i wish i could lower it, but i've parked close enough to many curbs where i think to myself, i'm lucky i dont have a body kit or have it lowered, as it would have hit for sure.
