New Guy With a Couple Lexuses

Hey everyone, figured I'd register here since my daily keeps getting more and more crazy, haha. I've always loved the VIP scene, and having owned numerous VWs and Nissans in the past, I've always liked low cars =)

I have two Lexuses. My IS I'm going on 6 years of ownership, and my LS is coming up on 2. I love these cars, and will always have at least one Lexus in my garage. I have a few other toys too, but that's for another time =)

My LS is rather simple; just suspension and wheels. I recently got some Studio parts from Original Garage, and now things have really started to snowball, haha. Needs a bit of work still;

how it looked last year:

as I said, needs some work still. I probably made more work for myself with the parts I added for this year, haha

oh, and my other Lexus:

thank you. Right now, immediate plans for the LS are flipping my front tires, getting an alignment to sort the toe issue, hunting down a rear SS kit to bring the rear down, and smooth out the fenders. Future plans are new wheels =)

As for the IS, it's undergone a bit of a build since I last had it out in 2010. Old setup was a built 3.0 with a Greddy T88h, Haltech EMS, auto trans, and e85, and was good for 900hp. New setup is a 3.2L stroker with a Precision gt4202 and a v160 6spd. Should be in the neighborhood of 1,100hp =)
