New guy here and to Lexus...pics

Newbie here...... Long story short...I had a 04 S2000 and some punk 16 yr old kid hit me and totaled the whip. ;( Car was the love of my life until....I saw the IS lol....didn't waist anytime, saw this baby on Auto Trader and couldnt pass it it up for the price..... Flew my fiance from Fort Walton Beach FL, to Orlando FL to get it. Its a Black 2007 IS250, had 40k on it when I bought it....I dont think I have ever driven a nicer car...I am going to put some wheels on it here soon and lower it a bit and i have a appt for tint next week. Thanks in advance for any questions i might need answered about the IS. Here you go enjoy!

These are the wheels I want to put on, either one of these prob 19"s

Looks very clean man! Sorry to hear about your S2000. Order some red outs for the tail lights while your at it.

What are red outs? I'm guessing that's for the amber turn signals...?

Red outs pretty much using red vinyl to cover that amber part of your light.

Anyways, congrats on your new IS

I sold my 04 S2000 and went to an IS and never regretted my decision. I loved my S2000 but I was ready for an IS. Your car has the X-package which mine has. The regular IS suspension didn't do it for me. The X-package felt perfect. The wheels make the car. Enjoy.
