Default New to these parts

Hello all, I'm Kevin and I am the owner over at EuroImageTuning. Recently my gf purchased a 09 is250 GFM to replace her TC and since I have parted out my jetta i decided to turn the is into my new project . Not new to cars at all just new to the Lexus crowd. Looking forward to a slow build on her daily.
This was the day the coils went on.. its a bit lower now


Working on finishing these up.. may have to go to a smaller lip, havent had time to test fit.


and a pic of my jetta before it was parted:

Should have kept em for the IS :/


Thanks for looking and any suggestions on reputable places to shop are always appreciated!

Welcome to CL. Looks like you're off to a good start. Looks like you're in the bay since I see a Stevens Creek Lexus plate. Check the Nor Cal section for info in our area. We just had a CL bbq and a tour of the Black Hawk Auto Museum this past weekend. come out to a meet someday and see how Nor Cal folks get together. Use the search function to help answer any questions you may have. Also check the Nor Cal yearly calendar for list of events. Nice shaved Jetta too!

I saw this car on 101 by Old Oakland / 880 a couple weeks ago. Your GF was driving it, noticed the rack. I was on my way to work. Looks good! Should be a fun project

Should you be saying that about someone else's GF?
