Lexus IS Daily Driver
Ok so here's my "build" be gentle im still learning... But i would appreciate feed back
so lets get started, when i got my license my dad was going to buy me a new car, i didnt want that and begged for the beat up 99 Lexus RX he has (because i thought it was the absolute show of luxury and class)
" />
finally after getting it my dad handed me 3000$ to get everything fixed, i obviously didnt take it and started to get to work. windshield washer motor was gone, almost all interior door lock and windows went working, my dad got it for a rediculous deal as the last owner didnt care for it at all, after going through numerous scrap yards and dealerships, and kijiji adds i fixed er up, including a semi new exhaust and new seats, and fixed a misfire as well as thousand little cracks and rattles in the car and general maintenance (brakes, tires, new brake lines) ... because i was in school and was only working part time i couldnt afford gas to drive it and fix it , but finally after she was running good i drove her around for 2 years before i sold it =( and purchased my brand spanking new, used car!!! =D
" />
i brought her home with the idea of keeping it stock.... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
but i did want to keep it functional as it would be a daily driver, but from factory i had them do a couple things, including window tint and a trunk lip spoiler

and two years later we are this point
