Default New To The Lexus Family...

Well, the 2006 Acura TL was a great daily, but something was missing...POWER! Soooo, stopped by the Lexus dealership today and drove home in this 2007 Lexus IS350. It's got upgraded 18's, navigation, bluetooth, rear back up camera, HID's, spoiler, and some other goodies. I have yet to stomp on it b/c it's only got 10 miles on it but I think she's gonna get up nicely...

Congrats on the IS350 and nice Supra! It might make the IS seem like a Civic speed-wise

Very nice, congrats ..... but I'd ditch your last picture if it was taken at your TX residence as it shows where you live and a smart aleck could find out where you live with a bit of digging. Most of us black out the license plate on our photos, I would think you would want to do the same with the Nav screen if it is your home.

(I'm not a crook, but sometimes I think like one)

Nice car! That's the exact car I got except mine has the Sterling interior (and a keyed scratch all along the passenger side. ... )

$42,407 MSRP, right?

Tony - to be honest, i'm not sure yet as to what wheels I'll be getting. I think this car looks great with a multi-spoke wheel so I'll be looking at something I-Forged or HRE. I have not done any research yet, but what sizes and offsets do you guys run with 19's? Also, what springs? Eibach?

project -thanks bud...the Supra is a hoot to drive...

sirkfc - ouch, that sucks man! As for the MSRP, yup, that's right. I got the car for $39k but MSRP was $42,4xx
