Hi guys and girls! I got here through our finnish forum NoPokemonShit (which you should get some interview during summer 2010) and this is my first post to SW forums so decided to write up something of my ride. I got this Lexus Is200 in beginning of may 2009 as a trade-in car. First my plans was just simple to sell this car and get my self some other one. Well it took only a month when I decided to order the D2 coilover kit and get a set of some new 215/35 tires to replace the old ones which where 225/40. That's the point where it was all clear that I'm not going to sell this car. After that in beginning of July I got my sides also tinted, a set of dietrich red/clear led tails to replace those lame "altezza tales", more light power to front by changing there 6000k xenons and also for windows the altezza visors. Also changed the original disc changer to some Pioneer Deh7100Bt. The car already got TTE front lip and Dotz Brands Hatch wheels with those 225/40 tires I replaced. That's setup which I ride last summer. For winter I got set of 8.5x17" original MB E420 wheels.
This is the car when I got it in may 2009.
And this is how it was in the end of summer 2009.



And for winter it looks like this.

Now during winter I ordered a new set of wheels which suppose to arrive Finland in beginning of april. Those comes in sizes 8.5x18" for front and 10x18" in rear. And what's the wheels gonna be is secret until I get my hands on those.
For tires I already decided to put 205/40 and 225/40 Toyo Proxes4 which suppose to stretch nicely.
Also got a lots of other goodies for it waiting in my garage. From Junction Produce I already got fusa and fin-antenna. Still have to order during this month the fan, kintuna and neck pads from JP. Just got new grill from Japan last week which is pretty rare Altezza JDM black edition one. To do list also includes curtains that I already got all goods it'll need to be done. Still need my mom to stitch those up for me. For front lights we are going to modify "usa styled park bulbs" if you now what I mean? Tomorrow im also going to get car back from paint shop where the front got a new set of paint to cover all gravel hits, the little rust it got in hood and to fix those fenders that got a little damage. Also little special has been done there which some of you might think is played out but which was one thing I just wanted to be done at the same time the car already was there. I'll post you some updates as soon as I got my friend to took some photos of it and definelty will keep you updated everytime I get something done! Hope you guys like it!
