Stanced TL-S vs Boosted IS300

So heres a few pics a buddy took. The IS300 is a buddy of mine, 407 WHP beast tuned on E85. Not too shabby









Now to the singles



















Irony much?

The cars look great.

But I did notice something. I don't know much about Lexus' brakes, but it's a bit crazy that your friend is on stock brakes with 400 WHP. Even you have better brakes than him. I think a BBK is called for with that type of power.

But like I said, the cars look awesome.

Those are some sexy cars but your TL is still the sexiest one off all.

Ur car has always been one of my favorite TL's. Love the sunroof how you did that inside and out. I am in the process of doing my entire headliner. It's been a battle but I am getting there. My A,B, and C pilars are all plaid. May not be for everyone but I love it. The IS is nice as well. Funny all the hate on wheels and brakes, maybe he doesn't have the money to do it all? LULZ

Ain't nobody hating man, it was a mere observation. And if you someone has money to boost, they should have money to put in a BBK.

Thanks for the kind words guys, and yeah, you would think he would upgrade his brakes, but it does have dual piston calipers from the factory. Better than what we have stock lol.

And Kidduce, please do! lol

The car is paid off next month so hopefully I will be able to do some work

TL looks very clean- nice drop- and I agree- despite power advantage- the is300 just doesnt look as good- and maybe thats why toyota scrapped that body design.

P.S. What lugs are those? I like how they are extended and closed end.

Very smooth TL-S man. I have a 02 ABP with a CAI and a custom straight pipe set up from my e-bay headers to the HKS muffs, AZ doesn't use a sniffer . Unfortunately it still has the stock stance of a lifted truck but a drop is soon to come. My buddy has the same year IS in grey but no boost, and the funny part is we were talking about how good a shoot with our two cars would turn out. As soon as the cars are washed I will post some pics.

(Your car definitely deserves my first post)

Great lookin shots, seriously. I love both rides. Your wheels are the bomb...one of the nicest rims I've seen on a 2nd Gen...I prefer center caps...but hey...that's just me. I couldn't get to the point of pulling the trigger on the lugs...but I guess i should one day.
