Default New Member Saying Hi

Hello all,

Thought I would say Hi. I have used the forum for hints and tips for a while but decided even though I am based in the UK I would still join and get active!

My 2007 IS250 SE-L has only a few mods so far....proving difficult to get the mods in the UK!

Here's what's been done so far:

AEM Induction Kit - Awesome!
Eibach Pro Springs (US Spec)
LED Taillights
LX-Mode Grille Insert
Tints
Chrome Grille
Roof/Trunk spoiler
Grooved / Slotted Discs

I am fitting some 19" black concave rims in the next few days....can't wait to get rid of my OEMs!!

Hope to pick some brains too as I will also be fitting a front WD Style lip which has been sat in the garage waiting for the rims....seemed so wrong to fit a front lip with OEM rims!!

Here's the ol girl:











Oh those rims!

Welcome to CL. Nice black IS. I like the LX Mode grille insert, haven't seen any of those around the forum. I see you have chrome door handle covers you didn't list.

Thanks all. Nice welcome

I do like the LX Mode insert however I have a BIG decision to make as the new front lip won't fit with the LX Mode insert in place! Gulp!!

Just added the new rims....Still gotta get used to them I think!

Needs a wash....lovely British weather and its rain!! Also just spotted the random banana peel near the front wheel! lol

Side markers come standard on the UK/Europe models? Country law or something?

Yeah, all vehicles require side indicators. I did try them smoked but looked weird!
