Default New IS250 owner - first car

Hey guys, I'm a new member here (though I've been lurking for a few months) and I just got a 2009 AWD IS250 about a month ago.

I have a few planned mods (rims, coilovers, exhaust, intake, molded Wald spoiler, etc) but for the most part plan to keep the stock look.

Pictures:
1- Right after I bought it, having it towed to my house (bought it in Miami, live in West Palm Beach). I drove my friends' IS there.
2- After I got the tint done. 3M 15% all around and 3M Crystalline on the windshield.
3- Parked next to my boss' S550 the other day; damn that car is sexy.

Don't park next to your boss he might get jealous of your IS and fire you lol.

Anyways Congrats on the purchase! You'll love how this board will magically make you spending money like crazy!

Welcome! I just got a AWD model too.

I can't wait to take it to the snow which is about a few hours from me.

I debadged the rear end today so I think I'm going to order the Wald spoiler so I can get that molded on and the emblem holes filled in. It was so hot today I just peeled the emblems right off!

Yes... I already have like $5k in planned purchases haha. If I wasn't paying $380/month for insurance I could afford so much more!

I asked for and received a $3/hour raise a week after I got the car. He likes me! lol He joked that if this is my first car, my next car will be more expensive than his S550.

Congrats. I live in Florida though so I won't be needing AWD too often.

Nice, I live in Lake Worth and work in Boca. Are there any meets around here? I have no idea about the GFX side skirts, I'll have to check. I do want a front and rear lip though.
