Karasha's IS350: Intro & Pictures!
#1
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello fellow CL members!
I have never done a proper introduction, yet I have been on this forum and commented on ya'lls threads here and there.
Background:
I have a '06 MRM IS350 that is pretty basic beside it having non-ML navigation in it. My former car was an IS300, which I still use from time to time. The IS300 is starting to undergo a bit of a transformation itself, yet, that discussion is for another time and place![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The IS350 has slowly been modded, for this is my first car to ever touch... and considering I am a girl, it's not like my girlfriends had modded cars for inspiration... although that'd be pretty BA! So this is all new to me; please feel free to give me opinion and direction that jives with my car's feel!
That being said...
No, I will not "dump" my car - I live in a city where it's simply IMPRACTICAL for me to do this. This is my daily driven car!
I will not have my car "hellaflush", ever. I will have it "flush" though.
I understand that this forum uses this car a good amount of time as a VIP platform, but that is definitely not my direction. Yet, I respect and even like some of the VIP cars on here!![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Well, onto the interesting part - pictures!

Before you ask:
What's up with the foggy fog light?
I had someone on the freeway kicked up a tire tread going 80 mph and hit my passenger side of my front bumper. Amazingly, my fog light was the only thing that was damaged.
What's up with your wheels?My wheels were painted a year and a half ago and were never cleared. So, of course, through time and weather, they have worn to be this god awful black-ish color. That's why they will be painted very, very soon so I can have a proper photoshoot done with my car.
Why did you post up lame cell phone pictures?Dude. I'm a busy person. It took me 6 months just to get the kit put on! Clearer and better pictures will follow when weather clears up down here and my wheels have been painted properly. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I have been waiting 6 months for these pieces to be painted and put on my car. They will be installed tomorrow! Just couldn't wait to throw it up on here. As far as I know, this is the first full WALD MRM IS![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
