Hi all,

Currently a is250 owner... looking at the CT now... just wanted some feedback on any issues or any little things that you are not liking or flip side of that... anything that you are loving about your CT.....Love to know what to expect IF i take the plunge and order one...

Cheers

Mods wise you can do alot

lip kit

Rear lights

HId kits

intake

exhaust

wheels

suspension

theres alot of things u can do

modding the 250 engine will be pretty useless as it has practically minimal gains from any mods

does your manual 250 come with nav ?

Nah no nav.. and prob just look at an intake .. car is sluggish unless you keep it over 4,000 Rpm

Having really really bad issues with BUGS and Rock Chipping on the front of the car.. also cant find touch up paint anywhere... anyone help??

Bugs are monsters and dont come off the windscreen with ease.. and little chips in the front bumper from the monash freeway roadworks..

Just to give you a bit of history.. i used to have a Mazda 3 that was very unique... also was smashed by a truck... ive posted the pics of my mazda that i modded..

was it parked at the time? I had that happen to me a couple of months ago. Bent my car like a banana....and it was only run into by a car! Total write off. :(

Nah i was stationary at a round about and heard screetching tyres, looked in review mirror to see a monster truck grill then bang.... lol

Suggesting a GFX kit, window tint, HID lights and IS-F rear lights. No extra mods, really, there is no need to IMO. The Mazda you owned (ouch with the accident, hope you're OK!) looks good but... it is a Mazda, not a Lexus. It is just my personal preference and I don't want to start another flame-war here about if you should transform it into F&F car or not. If you want to rice-up your car, get a rice-up-spec car, not a Lexus as it starts looking a bit cheap with those funny mods (please stay away from Supercheap Auto blue bulbs LOL). Anyway... my 5c worth, do whatever you feel like, we won't try to stop you even if you put Playboy bunny seat covers on it with pink neon lights and a big "cock" sticker on the back windshield (but some may say THEY DON'T KNOW YOU LOL). The wheels look good - 18''? Not my cup of tea, spoiling the quality of ride but it may suit others.

Good luck with mods and I hope to get a reply to my PM ;)

Rims are 19" rides better than i expected ive got good hankook Ventus K104 tyres on it.. 235/30/R19

I had my rice burner with my Maz 3. I want 2 keep it classy not over do it.. looking at some diff grilles, billet style and others.. Already changed the interior lights to LED's

Finally i took some pics.. thought id share them...

ahhh i c... i didnt know they were LED's already....

i'll check out some HID kits then.... thanks

Once i pick up the car ill put some pics up...

Hey guys,

Just bought a 2nd hand prestige IS250 Manual in Silver...

Now what I want to gather is the absolute must mods and your recommendations....

So Interior, Exterior, Drivetrain etc..

I pick up the car on Friday... looking to do something with the headlights as they arn't Xenon's i'll be popping into Autobarn to get some Hyperwhite or blue bulbs to change over to..

Also rear lights i dont think they are LED stock.. so will be looking to change them as well. Should i be getting rear clear lights sticking with the red or other?

Wouldnt mind a front lip... umm also interior map lights looking to change over also...

Just to give you a bit of history.. i used to have a Mazda 3 that was very unique... also was smashed by a truck... ive posted the pics of my mazda that i modded..
