paddys is300 - paddywak - 22-07-2020

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.

oops i need to move my horns me thinks :blushing:

paddys is300 - Chris0121 - 22-07-2020

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

paddys is300 - paddywak - 22-07-2020

The lights are on my to do list but i dont want to make a balls of it an zenons are not cheap to replace but it will get done.

paddys is300 - Chris0121 - 22-07-2020

Tell me about it I tried to do mine and couldn't undo one of the screws of the ballasts so put them back together until I can think of a way to do it without damaging them lol if I do mine this weekend I'll try and do a step by step with pictures might help when you do yours

Great colour mate, quite rare really!

if your going for the black an red theme maybe you could paint the insert in the rear lip black? just a thought Wink
