Welcome to CL. I am new here myself and just came from a 07 c230 as well. If you didnt mind driving the c230, (well i am guessing it is) in terms of power, then the is250 wont bother you. Here are 2 pics of my stock C230.

Wow thanks for all the replies, feel welcome as hell. haha.

Of coarse i would want the Is350 and if not the ISF. My insurance is going to be more than 3800, i have a couple speeding tickets and totaled a car, so yeah the insurance would be high.

Thanks for the compliments on my C, I loved it and its been thru many stages. Im looking into modding it but need some info, if you guys could help me out. I'm not used to the JDM stuff so. If theres any info on Socal Lexus meets.

Thanks

Oh, and im planning on going tomorrow night to sign the deal and drive it home.

Its going to be white with gray interior fully loaded.

Cool, Thanks bro.


Some mods for my car:
wheels, not sure what kind yet. (Suggestions for white exterior)
Drop, not sure about coils or springs
Black stuff
sound system
trunk spoiler, either OEM or Wald.
Either Red ours or Lightly smoked tails.
HIDs.

Thanks. Honestly black is very clean and looks its best when its clean but right after you watch it its dirty again.

White is very clean and i want to go with a white and black theme. How do you like white??

I agree just want some more POWER I went with gray/black interior and already have gotten a few compliments if its white interior.

Nice car, but I hate tints, I just think it takes away from cars. You have to get redouts!
