Default 08 IS250 AWD - 1.5month update

Hi all,

I've had my car for a month and a half and its nice. I came from a supercharged G35 coupe that was highly modified so its a different feel but I'm loving the gas mileage, comfort, and quietness. I was looking for the opposite of what my G35 gave me so this was a good choice.

Mod List:
35% Tint (MA limit)
GFX Kit
Exhaust Tips
Chrome Trunk Trim
Chrome Bumper Trim
LED Side View Mirrors
Aluminum Pedals
Black CF Trim
Hyper White LED Dome Lights
Hyper White Puddle Lamps
Hyper White LED BackUp Lights
White Illimunated Door Sill
Red Taillight Overlays

Future Mods:
F-Sport Lowering Springs
2008 18" IS wheels (the gunmetal ones)

Here are some pictures:











Thanks to the forum and the members for their help in me finding all this stuff. Props to SEWELL LEXUS for their great customer service and support and pricing.

Very nice, you done all that just in 1.5 months.
How much do you paid for CF trim? Does it cover over OEM trim completely without seeing it? Sorry for all the question, I hated my wood trim.

I paid $310.00 for the CF trim. It doesn't cover completely...I had to be very careful with some black touch up paint. It looks great though and won't notice unless pointed out.

Looking good, where did you get the chome trim for the front bumper vent? I am not much for hanging chrome on my rides but I kind of like the look in this case. How's the quality of the pieces?

Thx
