grats on the car! definitely slower than a rsx-s, but hey, comforts all there

if i dropped my car 1" or added a gfx front lip id scratch the front by pulling outta my driveway. its kinda on a slant right where it meets the road, and from the looks of it, dropping/front gfx is outta the question unless im down for scratches

How do you like the lex vs the acura?
Yeupp, same username, haha. I love the comfort and amenities I now have w/ the Lexus but I miss the ability to just drop it into 2nd and pull it all the way to 8600 RPM's soooo much. The thought even crossed my mind to trade in my 08' is250 with 4,000 miles for a 6spd one and I was pretty serious about it. If Tustin Lexus had a 6spd in stock I would have done it. I'm gonna drop my IS too in time, but for now I'm gonna kill the tires first

I like your Rear Roof Spoiler...did you glue it additionally or just put it on with the 3M tapes that was included when you bought it? I heard that it's easy to fall off when you speed up unless you drill it which is impossible...
