Default New IS250 owner in St. Louis, MO

I've had an IS300 for a daily driver for about a year now, and decided it was time to pick up the new body style as mine had about 130k on the clock. Was looking for a few cosmetic mods and maybe some wheel advice for my 2006 IS250. So far I think the best part about the 250 vs my old IS300 is this thing gets WAY better gas mileage, lol.

I have a few other cars in the stable as well. Ignore the plate as it goes to my camaro, lol.





and a few of the camaro is street trim.

Welcome to the forum, I like your taste in cars, I would like to come welcome you in person if only I could get All-Star game tickets.

I grew up in Arnold if you know where that is.

Nice Camaro & plate, check my tribute to 4thgen F-body in Car Chat under significant cars of the 90's

Go Cards!!

Thanks for the welcome! The camaro is stock cubic inch with heads cam and a precision t76, makes right at 670 to the tires. I love the IS so far, spent my first hour in traffic today, was kinda missin the auto in my is300 but this car is sooo much more comfortable.

I actually work in south city, right off of Hampton do you all have any meets??I think for my first mod I'd like to pick up some yellow fog lamps, who makes thee best ones?

haha dude... i was stuck in that stupid traffic for an hour and half... apparently a car was on fire on hwy 70....

anyways back on topic. yea there was a meet this weekend... but i missed it, had a soccer game. There should be a bigger meet sometime in the summer.

You wanna do yellow HID fogs? they look way sexier than just overlays.
