My Lexus IS250

Been getting some good reviews on my Is from a few members on the forum so i decided i would show you guys some more pics. I bought this car used, had it for a year and a half now, went through 4 sets of wheels and color change, here is my latest setup, criticism is always welcome. I iwll gladly show previous setups/wheels if needed....

Very clean!! Love the color combo, when I went to the dealership it came down to the IS 250 or TL. I only chose the TL mainly for it more spacious in the backseat and extra hp lol but I wouldn't mine a IS 250 in my garage it's a very beautiful car.

Beautiful Lexus! I think you should post the previous setups to show us the progress of where your car came from to how it sits today.

Let me know when you're done with those wheels, kthxbye.

The IS is the only other sports sedan that makes my junk wiggle. If the back seats weren't so small, I'd probably be driving one. Beautiful car, sir.

Looks great, love the color.

3 criticisms...

1) get rid of the stupid thing hanging in the windshield

2) not a fan of those bolts/things help keep the bumper connected to the fenders

3) Not loving the white wheels, I think bright/polished aluminum would set off the blue better

Looks good! Wasn't sure about the white wheels in the thumbnail size photo... but once I clicked, I instantly changed my mind. Good stuff

I do agree with Sarlacc about those bolts though. The entire car is clean and those just look out of place.

Yes i must say not a lot of room in the rear but for more power u can always get the 350, i wanted the 250 because i wanted manual.

Looks awesome man...amazing how different the responses are with just a different color wheel. I done told him white on teal is the winner...showed wifey the pics of the TL and she thinks a black wheel would flow really well too.

Same color cars, and wheel hooahhhs...you wouldn't happen to be related to Nitrous, would you?
