Cool My new ride!

Hello club lexus! I finally got my first ride. I just graduated from Highschool and my parents bought me a used 2006 Lexus IS250 AWD, Smokey Granite Gray. I did want a IS300 at one time, but I guess I can't complain since I got the newer generation of the IS series.

Im love'n my car right now, can't wait to mod this.

What do you guys suggest I get for my first mods?

Here are some pictures, Haha don't mind my younger brothers 11' STI

Very nice! Welcome to CL!

I would start with the basics..... rear spoiler, maybe roof spoiler, front & rear lip, then do other things like wheels & lower it. You'll find tons of mods you can do surfing around the 2IS section here!

.....I hope the leg humping stays to a minimum in this thread

Saweeeet! Congrats and welcome! Younger brothers 2011 STI? What's up with that? Lol. I would start on the drop. Sexy appeal will go up 200% for your ride once u drop it.

Welcome and congrats! Awesome graduation present. I know how it feels to get such a nice car at your age, hopefully you take it to college and enjoy it Just take your time and search around for mods. Make sure you really like everything your buying to avoid wasting money like i did lol.

Haha, I was quite surprised he got a car too, and hes only 16, barely even out of Highschool. That fortunate basterd.

My parents decided to get him a car too, since I got mine.
