Here's my 2006 Lexus IS250 RWD with the following options:
- 6 speed manual transmission - 18" alloys with summer tire - crystal white paint - black leather interior with metallic accents - carpeted floormats and cargo net
I really like this car a lot. It looks beautiful and still has enough of a sporty edge in the handling department to satisfy me. The little 2.5L V6 revs like crazy and once the VVT-I cams kick in it really starts moving.....plenty of power for the street. Contrary to what I've read in various reviews of this car the handling is quite firm and precise. The car stays flat and composed through corners and allows you to easily throttle out of the turns. I really wanted the IS350 because the power was simply awesome...but ultimately I found the automatic tranny with the paddle shifters to be quite awful and decided I'd be willing to have less power in order to get the mandatory manual tranny.
Future mods will likely be the factory lip spoiler, wheels, tint, and possibly a street/sport springs package with a tasteful 1" drop or less just to get rid of a little bit of wheel gap and tighten up the handling a bit more.

Hey what's up? I'm from NC also, but I'm in Wilmington. Sick ride, that is awesome. Do you really have three cars? What do you do for a living? I just got a 300, love it! I'll have pics soon. I had an old page for the 02 eclipse I had, but I wanted a new user name. The white 350 is hot! keep up the nice work.
