IS250 C Gets into the Groove with Aimgain Widebody Kit
It's always nice to see a one-of-a-kind Lexus example, and this IS250 is definitely just that.
A Woman's Touch
Jessyca Blood works for ISS Forged Wheels in Texas as Creative Director, so she sees plenty of nice custom projects. Her inspiration for this build came when her friends from Mayday Garage visited Tokyo and came back with photos of Lexus IS 250 convertible custom cars. She loved the drop-top Lexus, and the idea of a Japanese style VIP custom build and used those pictures as a goal to shoot for.

Widebody ready
The only other full Aimgain Widebody conversion is on the Aimgain demo car in Japan, making this Lexus an extremely unique and rare build. This is probably the only widebody IS 250 convertible of any kind in the United States. The extraordinary body kit consists of 17-pieces, which were all installed and painted in Ultrasonic Blue Mica.

Wheels and Tires
A build is never complete without the right wheels, and Jessyca Blood works for a wheel company, so she had to roll correctly. For this gorgeous IS 250, she chose ISS Forged 20" RM-15s wheels finished in gold, just bright enough to complement the amazing Ultrasonic blue paint. Wrapped around the wheels are 225/30R20 front and 265/30R20 rear Hankook Ventus V12 tires.

Brakes and Suspensions
If you like your cars low, then you'll appreciate the Lexus IS 250's stance, thanks to the AirREX air suspension. But this isn't just about looking good, because it also has a Cusco front sway bar, and the SPC front and rear camber arms. As for the brakes, Blood decided to upgrade the system with OE front big brakes, as well as cross-drilled and slotted brake rotors for the front and the rear. Raise the ride height with the air, and this car is a daily driver.

Devil in the Details
The attention to detail around this vehicle is impeccable making this Lexus nothing short of a masterpiece. Open the hood and you'll see touches like an Ultrasonic Blue Mica engine cover. In the interior, Jessyca had Garson accessories added complete with Swarovski crystal accents, including the push to start button. Out back is a custom, exclusive microfiber and suede trunk liner, wrapped around the stainless heart of the air ride system.
