Default Finally made the leap...

You guys finally convinced me to switch to the darkside. Been a long time Euro Fanboy (Audis to be specific), but the 2IS is just too nice so now I hopped over. Picked up a used IS350 back in May and been lurking ever since, but just wanted to introduce myself. I was waiting to get my GFX kit before I posted pictures, but seeing as Lexus of Ann Arbor is the only dealership that has any left in Black Onyx I guess I missed that train.

I am curious though, if I did pick up a GFX kit in Obsidian (212) how much of a difference would there be?

Anyways took a couple shots this past weekend and thought I would share.













I've been trying to keep away from the mod bug, but you guys are making it too difficult. We'll see how long I can hold out.

Peace

thanks for the welcome guys. yeah it is quite a change, its strange not having to get my car fixed once a month....

but yeah i definitely miss the audi, but this car is easing the pain. I am curious though, I tried searching, but didn't really come up with an answer, if I wanted to retrofit OEM HID lights with the AFS system, is it just a plug and play?

peace
