Hi guys i thought it time i did a build thread about my is300.
This is my second lexus is i had a is200 in silver which i loved but was a bit slow so what to do
supercharge it? Turbo it? i decided to sell it and get an is300 and start from there, ive had it about 5weeks now.

is300 in red (my fave colour) 72k miles 03plate nav zenons ( will soon get private plate).


Unfortunately i have no pics of when i got it but it had god awful gold alloys on which as you can amagine had to
go pretty sharpish.

To do list

Alloys (Done)
wind deflectors (Done)
lexus carpet mats
parrot mki9200 phone/ipod/usb kit (Done)
sport/tte front bumper (Done)
side skirts
rear splitter ( trd or tte )
lower it (not sure springs or coilovers)
led bulbs everywhere
black my H/lights
FAST STUFF LOL
Fog to brake conversion

I got rid of awful gold alloys, wind deflectors (Thanks speedfreak)

Then i got a cheap induction kit from flea bay which is surprisingly very good and sounds awesome.

Bargain at that price think I'll just make one for now shouldn't cost much to do
The bumpers make the car look so much better more aggressive, the horns look like nostrils haha
You should try an split your headlights and paint them black too I'm trying it this weekend coming they look so good black and it'll match the wheels and give it a more aggressive look

So your tuckin 15's, that's cute but come back to me when you get some proper size wheels
