Default New Lexus owner!

Hello ClubLexus! I am a proud new owner of a 2010 is250
I've spent a while looking for the right car from the Genesis to a three series BMW as well as G37 and 350Z. I just happened to fall upon a beautiful starfire pearl is250 at a Lexus dealership and drove her off the lot a week later! Although I have already done a few things to my car I joined in hopes to learn so much more and check out other people's whips! I'm in for an exciting ride

Here is my baby





These are not updated pics. I will post them later on tonight! The future looks bright for this car..

So glad the 2011's dropped the 16's for Canada. Sorry, haha. It's a nice car, but I hate the 16's (and the tire size).

Not quite as bad as my winter steel wheels, but close. Mine is an A-package car as well, so if it was a 2010, it would have had the 16's. A shame for sure.

Oh I don't know anyone who likes 16's. When summer comes along I'll be rolling around on 18's. Can't wait!!

Yeah I don't know anyone that likes them either, which means Lexus should never have used them, heh.

Yeah I'm looking at some 18's or similar for mine as well.
