Allow us to introduce you to Travis and his dope Lexus IS300! This is easily, the most stanced out Lexus IS300 in all of Arizona, at least that we know of, and we pretty much know just about everything that roams the streets, especially in Phoenix. This IS300 is definitely rolling gangster status. Chris who captured these awesome pictures tells us that “As I was watching Travis pull his IS300 into the first location’s parking lot, he scraped and dragged the front lip over the entire incline, awesome!” You gotta pay to play, that’s how we roll, right!?
Sitting Right:
Enkei NT03+M
Front: 18×9.5+27 | Rear: 18×10.5+30
H&R spacers (10mm front, 18×9.5 et17) | (5mm rear, 18×10.5 et25)
Nankang NS-II 215/35/18 front | Falken Ziex RE-912 235/35/18 rear…
What we like about this particular car was was it’s simplicity. Even with as big of a mod list as Travis provided us, it somehow pulls off this simple, yet aggressive look. We don’t see very many IS300 owners go the aggressive fitment routes, so the second we saw Travis post on our forums, we got in touch with him and scheduled a shoot! Week or so later, here we are!
Thanks to the Apex’i coilovers, and what seems to be the perfect drop, the car turns heads everywhere it goes, whether it’s being daily driven to the local grocery store or parked hard at the local meets & events! We honestly believe that this IS has raised the bar to a very high level, if not, the highest level, and we’re definitely looking forward on seeing what else Travis has lined up for his car. All we know is that it’s not going to be easy to top this. We’re also going to be on a lookout for all you other IS owners out there, it’s definitely time to step your game up after seeing this thing!

The fender pull looks flawless, and the semi-flush stance is what we call perfect. Tires tucked nicely in the fenders, wheels poking out a couple millimeters past the fenders. Check out some more pictures below with more of the mod list. We want to thank Travis for taking time out of his day and for letting us shoot his car. Also big thanks to Chris Minshall for the great photography work.
