Default Honda vs. Lexus = Old vs. New

Hello peeps...
Just recently sold my old civic and upgraded to a IS250, as I felt that I need something more mature.

Here's a couple of my old car.









And my new IS250. fully loaded in terms of multimedia etc.. Picked it up from a Lexus dealer.









Just fitted HID, will post up pics soon.

Lookin' good! 8k lows were my first mod also, the beginning of many more haha.
I have 8k matching fogs now too, but I'm thinking of going with 6k for better visibility because my eyesight isn't what it used to...and I'm only 20 years old haha.

LED Parking lights will work well with it to get a nice uniform look for lighting in the front.

Welcome to CL and congrats on the new ride. Like others have said, you won't regret it.

What other mods do you have planned for the IS?

Much appreciated for the compliments and the welcome.

I'm just literally enjoying the car at the moment as I do not need to stop to a standstill at a bump, as I normally do with the civic and hearing the scrapping sound of metal on road...

Gonna take stonefan52 advice on the parking light upgrade and also IS sport gear ****.

BBK will be for the future, after the kit, coilovers and wheels...
