Hello all... I am new to this forum and to the lexus community(2 weeks)... Coming out of a bmw 3 series I never expected to buy a lexus, but when I test drove the IS I really enjoyed it. I mean lets face it it will never really drive like a BMW "which I do miss" but I found I got more bang for my buck on the IS. I a guy like me though can never leave anything alone. I cant wait to start making it my own... So far just tint.

See below my 2006 Glacier Frost IS 250 with Nav, and every other option know to man....

p.s. that's my GF in the picture

Also the wheels I am about to buy for it. I need a suggestion on tires and suspension, I like a more meaty tire and I plan on going with an offset setup and a 19' rim.

I'm curious, what are the every other options known to man? And of course it won't drive like a BMW. It drives like a Lexus which is why myself and everyone else here bought a Lexus.

And headlight washers.

Also looks like it is missing PCS, though from that distance it's hard to say for sure.

Welcome to CL!!

I highly recommend to get the wheels and suspension at the same time...otherwise you may not like the way your IS will look.
