JML Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 nice mods and thanks for sharing i like the LED puddle lamps, was it easy to take the side mirrors apart to change the stock to led? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarko Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Nice mods mate. Seems fewer and fewer IS250s out there are alike these days :D Keen to know more about the blacked out headlights and fog lights if you're happy to share.

LEX51S Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The puddle lights are easy. Its the led strip on the side of the head light i have respect for. Id imagine the led s are more defined when seeing it in the flesh rather then on the photo?? The only thing i dont like is opening up the headlights. Cant bring my self to putting them in the oven.

Cant bring my self to putting them in the oven. only retards put their headlights in ovens lol.. i use a heatgun hmmm? im one of the retards you speak of! although im not the only one! as stated by other members the majority of us have done it that way. people have their reasons for doing it a different way. doesn't make them a retard. good on ya' for being so keen to make your is250 unique, but all those mods don't make your car unique. pretty much everyone on this forum has changed out their lights! i myself did all those mods 4 years ago, except the angel eyes which i did in the last year! unique would be something like ilvs1004s with the 20" work wheels, gfx kit all round, coilovers etc....... side by side with yours you would still look stock!

Hate to have condensation inside. +1 makes it a lot quicker to soften the seal all round in one go! putting it back together is just the reverse, but with a lot of force holding it down to make a seal tight!

ldc Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 This is what i would called unique. The owner might have started off with puddle lights who knows .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldc Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Definition of the word unique.... http://www.answers.com/topic/unique adj.1.Being the only one of its kind: the unique existing example of Donne's handwriting. 2.Without an equal or equivalent; unparalleled. That being, it is a "unique" car nonetheless. You started a topic with title "Slowly Making A Unique Is250". Not sure what your car will look like in the end but if you want it to look unique you haven't started in the right direction i wouldn't think. What are your ideas?

DANSLEX Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Far from unique, but I guess it's a 'slow' start. You'd need a lot more than subtle cosmetic light changes to make it unique. What is your planned end result? Things like rims, suspension, any engine mods? Here's a hint: dump a supra turbo 2J in one, guaranteed uniqueness, at least in Aus :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forced induction won't work too well due to already high engine compresson. And air intake mods and filters have been done to death. What else are you gonna do with it? Are you gonna do silly ricey mods or something tasteful with a purpose? P.S. With your responses, you come across as quite a hostile keyboard warrior mate. Settle down!

Settle down! rice mods are boring.. things will pop up as i slowly add things.. im not a hostile person.. just dont like how some people are on here.. when i havnt attacked anyone and im being attacked for making a contribution.. small so far.. but a contribution none the less.. i dont post up what ive done to have definitions of the english words revised to me.. or to be told what should be done to fulfil others definitions of unique.. this is nowhere near "keyboard warrior". its called sticking up for yourself, if u are familiar with such...

So the japanese cartoon is abit but, it's just paint, it'll be a hell of a car if it was just ... black or silver or white. Until my car looks this disgusting (minus the paint), i won't be shouting to everyone hey i got a unique car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
