Default Pics of my new 08 IS250 rwd Matador red w/ black leather 18's and HID's!

I am calling these pics...Beauty(Lexus IS) and the Beast(my Jeep SRT8clone)! I just had this IS delivered for my wife! It is a 2008 Lexus IS250 RWD ATX.....Matador Red Mica over buttery soft black leather. The fit and finish on this car is absolutely perfect. The paint is flawless....as well all panels perfectly fit. The interior was the big draw for me. Beautiful is all I can say! 18" liquid graphite wheels, HID's, sporty suspension and Rwd. The amentities list is very long....so I'm not gonna go through them all. My wife was very pleased to say the least! Enjoy!

yeah....I didnt realize how close the colors were till they brought it. I actually wanted the RX till i drove an IS. It just seems to suit her. Lexus Ground effects kit, sport pedals and lighted door sills will be the first mod.......oh and the JoeZ intake arm.

I'm looking forward to mine too, but the AWD has the 17" wheels. I will get 18" or 19" though. I like red cars, they really POP, and the IS red is a little brighter than the ES red, which works for me.

alotta work my man! That is a complete conversion...even the interior. It has about everything but the SRT drivetrain.....but I still maintained the awesome traction system of the regular 4x4 Grand cherokee. I could remove that front bumper and be trail rated. Well...and minus the runflat Goodyears. It even has the center exit exhaust. Let a me get a better pic or two.....

here is the Jeep before and after....it took me about 5 months to complate everything. The interior isnt shown...but I also have the SRT8 leather/suede seats and interior, rear VES system and SRT airbag and steering wheel. This conversion would be similar to converting a IS250.350 to the IS-F.

Before.....



....and this is AFTER(now)......
