Just picked her up tonight.

http://www.240garage.com/chou/is.jpg

2006 Lexus IS350 Crystal White
3.5 V6 306HP/277lbftTQ

Bought it with Navigation package and 18" alloy wheels (didn't want that because planning to get rims, but oh well)

Wow this is such a fun car! Paddle shifters are cool. Took me a while to find a white one because apparently there is only 4 in the west coast area after calling around a lot. Lucky they held it for me or I wouldn't have gotten it today because there was a couple trying to get it an hour before I got there.

More pics tommrrow during the day.

MSRP is 35k USD. Mine was 40k sticker but I got lower, and most places here have a markup of 2k or more due to the fact that this is a completely new car.

Power, more luxury, automatic. I already have two manual cars, none of them are girl friendly. If I want to have fun I have my 240, but when I take the gf out, I need something comfortable and easy to drive.

Oh yea, I saw the paddle shifters and that kinda sold me on the 350.

lol someone send me one! I'm tempted to put a DUB sticker on the back because all the cool celebrities are doing it. If the celebrities are doing it, it has to be right! LOL jk

But im probably gonna get a set of rims for it in the comming months..I dunno the bolt pattern though, or what rims to go with..

HOLY HIGH OFFSET BATMAN!

Aww that means I can't go low offset for the baller lip. At least this is a easy to obtain bolt pattern... Maybe get some SSR Professor SP1 18's or Work Meister :drool:

I think I found the rims I want...

Work VS XX
http://www.worksuperwheels.com/images/vs_xx/1_norm.gif


19x9 +61 fronts
19x10 +61 rears

I'm just randomly thinking if this will even fit flush...

I have lip on the 240 right now Work EWings 15x7 +13 so I must have bigger lip on this car to match it!

You should check out the group-buy section at Clublexus. There are tons of group buys all the time for wheels! I think there is a Work and iforged GB on right now amongst others.
