picked up my SGM IS250!
hey guys
its my first post on CL, as im in Australia and im mostly on the lexus owners club Australia forums, but thats been kinda really slow lately
well, i picked up my 2007 Granite IS250 Sports with EMV last week
its such a great car, as im only 17 and am lucky enough to have a lexus!
just some quick Q's
as im in Australia the aftermarket stuff is really expensive, wat are some quick and easy mods i can do my self for a low price?? with stuff i can get from a local auto store or ebay
i dont have experience with modding cars cuz tha IS250 is my first car, it'll be great if the mods could be under $200
wat im thinking right now, is to get a resonator removed (under $100 i would rekon) and some exhaust tips (dunno which ones, maybe S2K's? how much are they??)
and my car already has HID's (i think, they have a blue glow to em)
oh and here are some pics! i took em with my phone so there pretty bad and it was night and in my garage.

thanks guys
i was planning to leave the stock rims, cuz i really like the ones i have (18" double spoke or watever it is) also the rims are a graphite colour, so it goes hectic with my car colour aswell
im gonna be dropping it on Tien springs (i think its like 1.2" front and 1.6" rear) sooner or later, whenever i have the money, but first, i want a better sound from the car
im used to riding in my friends BMW 528i E39, it has a really nice sound, custom exhaust tho
the mark levinson sound is so good tho, and i love the AUX connection,

Congrats on the new car bro! If you want sound, then intake and exhaust should be first, but neither is "cheap". I have Teins too, they ride great and they give the car the lowest drop for springs, 1.6' in the front and 1.2' in the rear, you wont have any rubbing issues. Minor mods would be the roof spoiler,
