Default New Guy Here!!

Hey ClubLexus, new guy here just wanted to introduce myself. Want to start off by saying I've always been fascinated with Lexus vehicles especially the IS models. When I was in high school a couple of buddy's and I were always going to car shows. And one day at one of the shows I saw a IS250 that was in my opinion the nicest car I've ever seen in my life till this day. Since then I made it a personal goal to save up enough money to buy my own IS250. After a year of busting my *** serving at a restaurant I finally managed to come up with enough cash to buy it. And It was an extremely amazing feeling to finally reach that goal.



First time driving the car after buying it. This was a good day!






MY CAR: <br/>2007 Lexus IS250 RWD


Im super excited to start working on my car. And I was told that ClubLexus was a great place to find some helpful information.

So I want to start off by asking you guys what mods should I start with? Im a college student and my budget is sort of low, so it's going to take a while to get what I need for my car. But I know eventually over time I will get there.

Thanks in advance you guys and I really appreciate it

Have a great day!!

Welcome to CL! First mods should be lower or f-sport sway!
Not only does lowering look good but it'll improve your driving experience&handling as well

Agreed, those were my first mods as well. Then you should lower it afterwards and get some wheels etc..

Welcome to CL. What is it you want to do with your car. Make a list of all the things you'd like and then see what you can do to get those items slowly. Congrats on working hard to get what you wanted.
