Toyota’s luxury market, Lexus,  has always been known for their luxury design, dependability, and comfort.  In 2000 Lexus (Luxury Export United States) introduces the USA to their first compact luxury sport car called the IS300. Sporty exterior features and inteior styling to uphold the Lexus badge, the IS lineup has brought performance to their household name. Lexus is now into their 2nd generation of the IS lineup and shows no retreat in sales. These cars are everywhere, ranging from the IS250 and 350, F-Sport, IS-C and their 8 cylinder powerhouse IS-F.

As you may know by now, I will always have a place for VIP styling and definitely this car is a great example of how to build one. Seems like all I feature for Hellaflush is VIP cars! Anyways, a few months back I posted up a thread on a couple of forums for anyone who is interested in getting their car featured with us and I found that Shauncey Credo would be a great candidate. I was exchanging emails with him for some time and finally made the time to get his feature up and published.

Hailing all the way from the aloha state of Hawaii, Shauncey Credo’s ’07 Lexus IS350 is a prime example of how our Hawaiian brothas get down with the fitment. Outfitted with high end gear such as Job Design aero, Junction Produce interior accents, and Trafficstar rollers, im sure that Shauncey gets nothing but love and respect out there.

When I look at a car build of any type, first thing I will look at are the wheels chosen. Shauncey’s choice of rims are the uncommon Trafficstar MZ’s. Very stylish and luxurious, fitting the traditional cues of a Lexus project car. Speaking of project… check out the stoppers! Project Mu? WTF! Now that’s just gangster right there. You would think that having an IS350, the brakes would do the car enough justice as is for stopping power, Shauncey went ahead and 1-up’d his oem calipers and made stopping on a dime look sexy.

Weapon of choice for suspension is Air Runner’s suspension & tank, then mated with Accuair compressors and controller. Stepping up to the plate for camber adjustment and getting the alignment job done is megan racing and their camber & caster arms, along with SPC ball joints.

So far Shauncey has told me there are still quite a few things he has in mind for his Job Design IS and will keep me posted for the things to come. Im loving the hard work and mods chosen Shauncey! Keep it up man!
