Newbie + Is200 Sport

[Daz_72]

Only reason I changed interior was because I wanted full leather

Cheers Andy, only had the car for nearly 2 months so starting to think about modifications without destroying the original features.

How much for a set of lowering springs, How far to lower & how easy is it to fit them?

Is this a real sport model? Interior seems to suggest so but front grille is standard. If it is a sport then it should already be slightly lowered.

Hi Colin, it is definitely a real sport model, and I am going to replace the front grill for the correct one soon

Hi daz. Very nice car mate, love what you've done to it so far. If you get a new grille, can I have your old one please? Will lift the face of mine!!

Also which LED bulbs have you used for the number plate lights? They look cool but I'm confused as to whether they need to be canbus or not.

Cheers

Just returned from the garage wearing new winter tyres on my diy refurbished alloy wheels :)

Also refurbished my scratched gear knob, now has a scratch free mirror finish

if you search on flea Bay for lexus LED number plate lights, and the ones I fitted are the ones which have the leds built in the housing lens, think they were about £15 for the two.

Good thing is that they are mega bright and with LED you can fit and forget

I also highly recommend any IS200 owners to do the rear fog brake light conversion, it really looks the part especially at night

[Daz_72]

Images of rear lights, 1 normal lights, 2 with fog light switch pressed, and 3 all five brake lights illuminated

[Pp4811]

That does look good. I tempted by just the tail light mod, the brake part looks difficult!! Then again so does the side light mod!!

Oh and fancy polishing mine like that? ;)

[Daz_72]

Last little project for the weekend finished, fitted black rear fogs, now the resting begins -_-

[Daz_72]

I

I

[Daz_72]

With chrome fog light surrounds

[scudney]

sorry chrome surround not my cup of tea,but if you like it great

[Daz_72]

I haven't really fitted chrome surrounds, just a photo imaging app on my phone

[Daz_72]

Ever wondered what the front grill on a IS 2.5 F Sport would look like on an IS200?

[Pp4811]

What app?? Looks quite good.

Not for me the chrome light rings but then everyone is different that's why modifying is so unique.

Maybe if it was all colour coded that would look nice?
