Default My new IS350 - Let the fun begin! :)

What's up all -- Some of you might have seen me pop in/out of threads recently. I just purchased my first Lexus about 2 weeks ago. She's a 2011 IS350 AWD.

First, I want to thank you all for your posts, topics, and discussions (including the amazing DIY threads that are posted). It'll help out a lot. I figured I would post up some pics of her and keep a running thread on my modifications as I go.

So far, here's the pics I was able to gather up. These are new pics (after a week or so of driving). I had 20 miles on the odometer when I first got her.

Current Mod List:
F-Sport Air Intake
F-Sport Shift ****
'11 F-Sport Front Lip
'11 F-Sport Front Grille
PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow Foglight Bulbs
Full Interior LED Kit
Backup Light LED Conversion
Valentine One w/ Stealthcord
35% Tint

Waiting To Install / Ordered
Blendmount for Valentine One -- Ordered.
Lexus Caliper Decals -- Ordered.
'11 F-Sport Badges -- Waiting to install.

Future Mod List:
Weathertech In-Channel Window Visors
'11 F-Sport Rear Lip Spoiler
'11 F-Sport Springs
OEM.Thing Roof Spoiler
Rims?

Aww the 4 by 4 look (AWD!), why not RWD? Nice pics!

Looks like you got your car from the same place I got my USB!

Thanks I am definitely planning on putting the F-Sport Springs on - but being that I'm in Oregon, I don't want to slam it, lol. Too many pot holes, speed bumps, and snowy/icey days.

Actually, I wanted RWD at first, but they didn't have any in stock. The stance difference is WAY better on the RWD version. Being that I'm in Oregon and my previous 3 cars were all AWD, it doesn't bother me much I am jealous of your car's color though! USB looks absolutely amazing!

Aww!!

They could of special ordered it for you right? Unless you could not wait. I was lucky the USB was a hard find until they got it in. When I picked it up that they, they purposely put it parked in front of the main entrance!

There was one USB there, and I was all kinds of happy because I figured it was for sale. They told me it was already sold to their head mechanic I asked about special ordering also and they said they couldn't. Not sure why they didn't want to, but it's all good -- Starfire Pearl was my second color choice

Nice car and off to a great start. Not sure you forgot to put on your list. But you should also get the f sport front grill. Looks 10x better imo. Good luck with your continuous modding.
