Default Just want to say hello

Hello all! I've been roaming this site for a few weeks prior to me and my fiance's purchase of an 06' IS-250 AWD. This will be her DD, I drive an 06' G35 coupe, but I will be doing the mods on this IS. From what I've read the AM parts availability is pretty minimal, especially compared to what I'm used to with my G. So far, I've only got the tails vinyled, but plan to do a few more things with it. If there is anyone in the Springfield, IL area, shoot me a pm. Here are a few pics that I've taken in the 2 weeks we've had it.

Now, I've seen a few photos with it done, but I'm wondering if its impractical and overkill to vinyl the headlights/fogs. Your thoughts?

Welcome, the taillights look a bit odd off, but i think it's because the car isn't slammed with exhaust/rims. I'm pretty sure it'll turn out good

Welcome to the IS family. Tail lights are a little too dark for my taste, but if you like it, its all good. What other mods are in the future besides tint? Suspension?

Lets see some pics of the G.
