Default After 4 yrs of wanting an IS finally got one!! **Plus Spoiler install pics**

Picked up an 2007 IS250 starfire pearl with black interior. LOVE this color combo. I have wanted an IS ever since the first gen IS has been out but I was in college and basically couldnt afford one. But now that I graduated two years ago my dream finally came true! I literally browsed the Lexus forums everyday for the last 5 years!

I love this car. Its soooo sweet. This forum has been awesome with lots of information. Thanks all!

For a bonus I posted some install pics of the factory rear lip spoiler. I installed the spoiler at my dads shop in Orange County. I was soooo nervous having him drill holes into my trunk in a week old car. But everything came out fine. Only problem is that I dropped a screw somewhere in the truck and couldnt recover it.










Spoiler install pics.

Congrats!

Funny thing. When the shop was installing my spoiler they dropped a screw in the trunk as well. To get it out they used a strong flow of air to push it to the nearest hole and then used a magnet to get it out. Hope this helps.
