2006 Lexus IS250
Crappy pic sorry but here it is all stock.

I had the exhaust done the day I picked it up because I didn't like the stock tips and it sounded weak.

I did a photoshop of the car lowered and painted wheels.

Ordered a set of Megan Eazy Street Coilovers
(Pic coming soon)
I liked the photoshop look so much I made it real lol

I've owned the car now for a month and still loving it. I will be adding wheels very soon. I have a set just need to put my tires on. I do all my own tires and I've been busy with work and girlfriend so haven't really messed with it.

The paint in the last 2 pictures make it look like 2 different cars.
Based on seeing all 4 pics, I would say the 3rd on down is not your car, but rather an advertisement or a new one?

I've gotten pretty use to driving low and or flush. That was my old car.
Same car, difference between a real camera with minor touch up's in photoshop and a cell phone pic.

No, to be honest I forget which one it is lol. My buddy owns a shop and he does all my exhaust work. I picked them out and he said he could get me a deal on them. Its just the mufflers, removed cat, and true duals. Sounds clean, not too loud, and not raspy.

Power wise I'm not really sure which is faster. I didn't buy either one to be fast, but I can say the IS300 has a way better power band. It felt more peppy. Up top the IS250 feels faster. Once it revs it pulls harder. For the record I don't consider any of them fast lol. The IS250 gets way better gas mileage.
I didn't buy the IS250 for any speed. Some day I'd like to upgrade to an IS-F and just skip over the IS350. I really don't like my toy and my DD to be the same car.
I keep this around for a track ****.

Now has a GT30 on it. 1994 Mazda Miata with the GT30 dyno'd at 318whp. Not bad for a 2k lb car.
Sure, i'll take one tomorrow.
