Anas Uddin had owned another Lexus IS300 before the one you see here. Upon heading out to boot camp, he had gotten rid of it, a decision he says is the biggest regret he has. "I told myself when I come out to San Diego I would get another one," he writes. A little over three years later, and he finally found "the one". Since then, the process of modifying the IS300's looks and performance has been a constant effort.
