project IS200 LE - bigsteve200 - 09-08-2019
hi all
im new to the club but not to modding cars, had a few and spent way to much over the years :laugh: but its an addiction as im sure you guys know, this is my second lexus is200, my first was to replace my toyota supra as i needed a 4 door family car, it was modded but i decided to sell on when it got to 200k miles! ive owned this one for 8 months, bought it standard with full history 29k miles, its a 2003 is200 limited edition in kodiak metalic,full leather,hid headlights,all other usual bits
few pics of when i bought it....

then i had to get all the disks and pads done, anit roll bars,full service, cambelt. water pump,k&n panel filter, spent alot of time and effort detaling and cleaning it to get it to a very high standard which paid off as i won best toyota/lexus class at thorseby jap show :wink:

im very happy with it, i realise its not everyone thing but every has there own taste, got top five at jap show finale show and shine at weekend and was very happy, got a few smaller mods planned in the near future and wanting to either supercharge or do a engine transplant long term but got a wedding to pay for first, i hope you all like
cheers

Very nice and very shiny , and some good mods that you have done there.
project IS200 LE - sprinter2012 - 09-08-2019
Commented on how much I like this car on your thread on the 'other forum', I think the new rear lights look much better :thumbup1:
project IS200 LE - Lexuspat - 09-08-2019
Stunning car although I'm not a lover of large spoilers on the lexus but each to there own what TRD mods have you gone for inside.
Well done on the show and shine results
