After throwing a bunch of money at this car...

I am already giddy over more opportunities to do the spendings of additional monies.

Stuff done so far:

- 90,000 mile service

- timing belt and water pump

- full detail

- repainted rear bumper

This has cost bigly big monies — uh, by my standards. However, I’m not deterred, but encouraged to keep on improving this thing.

- Injen air filter recommended by EL_ULY

- dash cover (because fixing it is like... eh!)

- Lexus badge on rear

- tinted windows (no apologies)

- other things I’ve already forgotten

I feel like I can just enjoy the ride of ownership, because this car needs *nothing.* And it’s a great feeling, and certainly a new one to me. I fully admit that getting compliments on it, and having people enthusiastically jump inside, has been a perk. Knocked my brother’s socks off too, as he revealed he looked for one for three years and couldn’t find any (he lives is Utah). He said he’d never seen one in person before mine.

I almost love it as much as my longbed... okay that’s a lie, maybe 60% as much.

The PO of my friends IS300 sedan replaced the manifold with a header, but with the stock exhaust. It sounds amazing. Not loud at all, but... mmmmmm.

Are you getting the ugly reflective tint that modern Lexus loves using on their crossovers?

Car’s looking awesome. What’s wrong with window tint? it’s functional and it almost always looks better.

I wish there was one of these within driving distance when I was looking for my first car. I got a new golf, and love it, but this or an a4 avant would’ve been amazing.

“- other things I’ve already forgotten”

Such as:

- plastidip the wheels black

- wrap the hood carbon fiber-look vinyl

- tint the fog lights yellow

- slam the car on cheap eBay coilovers

- put a word or phrase such as “static” or “daily driven” in large, white, cursive text on the base of the windshield

- slap a shocker sticker on the hatch glass for good measure

- replace the stock Altezza lights with cheap aftermarket LED Altezza knockoffs

Only one thing to do about that.

These are Enkei 92s if you’re wondering.

If you’re keeping it long term, spend away. It’ll be worth it because you’ll have a reliable machine.

There’s actually nearly zero tint, you can see right through the damn thing.

Stainless steel brake lines, new pads, and good brake fluid. New suspension afterwards. Then autocross and track days. :)
