Talking New Here!!!

Hello guys,

I am now a owner of a 2006 Lexus IS350. Got it a couple weeks back, done some minor things but looking forward to do many more!!!

I find the info here very important among you guys! So I decided to add what I do to my car as that is how I got Ideas for mine and shout out to the guys that do the write ups about how to do it.!!

So here is my IS350 and what I've done so far:
- I'm trying the Plasti-Dip for my wheels
- Painted my Calipers
-Got a spoiler (that I need to get it painted before installing it)
-Got the 11-13 Headlights to replace my current ones (btw need images for the relay wiring to have a better understanding)

congrats on the new ride and welcome to the club. Post some pics and familiarize yourself with the search function. You will find alot of useful threads that'll help you maintain and customize your car. Theres also quick links to some sticky threads of FAQ's on the main 2IS section. Happy modding

Sorry I changed my settings to Public!

I was all about the lights that I already got them, I just need to understand the concept of adding the relay so they go 50% when the lights are on.

Thanks ! I was curious to try that Plasti-Dip paint and see how long they last like that, it certainly makes the car look different.

It took me a few hours but not because of the labor, because I made sure to let the paint dry so it wont drip. The overall laber is approx 2 hours but it took me like 4 because i let it dry quite a bit. I used the Duplicolor caliper paint from the part store, a Lexus vinyl sticker and some clear coat from the same brand.
