SSML, That's good news and sounds EXACTLY what I'm after! :) Thanks for all the tips, I'll have a look for that shop. Cheers Manic :)

SSML, The roof rack is just for a surf board which in itself won't be very heavy but at 100 K/h might get a fair degree for force on it. I will check out the suction roof carrier though, might save me a few dollars on a genuine Lexus rack (if there is such a thing). Cheers Manic :)

I looking a putting a roof rack on my IS200 but I'm worried it will ruin the look of my baby. I've been surfing the various Lexus sites but cannot find a picture of an IS200 with a roof rack fitted. Does anyone have a rack on their car or seen a pic of what they look like? Cheers Manic :)

What about this emblem? Look very nice on a white or silver Lex, I've seen red ones which look better (IMO) than the blue, kinda like the Honda V-Type badges... :D

Can't believe anyone would actually sell there car on eBay! :o IS200 Limited Edition

I was reading a post on the UK forum about how some owners have experienced 'clunkyness' in the 1st to 2nd gear change. My old IS had this for 5 years and I just got used to it, thought it was the box...I felt that this was confirmed when my new IS had the same sh*ty 1st to 2nd gear change. Do any other manual IS200 owners know what I'm talking about? It's like the sincro is not quite right or on the way out....Is there anything that can be done? My baby is due for a service in a few thousand kilometers so I'll probably ask Mr Lexus then <_<

Depends on how hard you drive it!!! :o If I have a week when I'm feeling a bit on the fast side (this weekend for example, Aus F1) therefore braking heavy, then my mags dust-up something shocking.....particularly the front ones. I just use Armour All car wash with a soft brush on them.....

Matt, Sounds amazing!! I can't imagine something so simple making such a noticable difference especially since the IS already has excellent corning and handling dynamics. How easy was it to install and what was the damage dude??? Matt

The spoiler on the Yellow IS is a Lexus front skirt (in Australia) suitable for the standard bumper. Original Bumper It is not a "Legana" front skirt. The Legana kit does not have a lower bumper skirt, but a complete front bar. Legana Front Bumper And the rear skirt is part of the Australian "Legana" kit. Hope that helps :) I actually don't have the rear skirt, its the rear wing I have on my tail, I'm thinking its a standard Lexus Australia part.....

So the tail is part of a Leguna kit, ie. front spoiler lip and rear tail? Another thing about my car which is noticable is a firmness in the suspension and steering....I recently drove a 2003 IS200 Sport around for 2 weeks, the second I got back into my car it felt very different.....much firmer, more responsive steering (hard to explain) :o Any ideas on what this might be? How can I determine if my suspension is standard IS 200 Sport? Matt

I'm trying to find out about the extra trimming on the bottom of the front spoiler in this picture.....Anyone know about it? I know that it's a genuine Lexus part.... Also the tail in this pic; The reason I'm interested is because they are both on my car and I would like to know a little about them......

Congrats Guys!!! :o You have built a great website to serve Lexus owners, it's no wonder there are 200+ members.... Cheers Matt

Matt :) Matt, I was sending you a cheque for the cost of the mirror covers tomorrow....in light of the possible bulk purchase should I wait a little while....... <_< Cheers Matt
