Talking My SGM IS-F

Hey everyone. I'm fairly new here. Been roaming around the forums quite a bit, but never posted because I wanted my first post to be pictures of my car. I got a lot of input from you guys. Thanks!

Finally had a chance to get some pictures of the car. I apologize for the dirtiness of the car. I'm waiting for my 15k mile service, so the dealers can wash her up nicely.

Mods on the car:
Joe Z intake
Joe Z CF tips
Rick's (S4play) custom diffuser
F-Sport Rear Sway bar
Titanium Shift ****
CF Vinyl wrapped roof
CF Rear Roof Spoiler
35% all round tint
Matte Black Emblems

I think that's it. Comments appreciated.

Nice. What size shift **** did you order? I can't figure out the size of it on the f. Every **** I try is too big(that's what she said).

That car wash guy is amazing, but I'm just going to wash the car myself. Thanks guys.

About the shift ****: I don't remember the exact size from the top of my head, but I got it from ebay. Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TITAN...Q5fAccessories

or

www.rndfactory.com

The guy at rnd said that there are only 2 sizes (manual and automatic) for Lexus and Toyota. Not sure if that true, but the **** totally fits.

Thanks for the compliments.

Love the ISF. If it were mine I'd add a proper set of wheels and a carbon front splitter.

The car wash guy is amazing but he made a mistake. You don't wash a car in direct sunlight like that.

hey are u the one in socal? I've seen a sgm IS-F like 3 times in the past month around the Irvine area. Nice pics man...what I've noticed is that the sgm is a real sleeper. It takes a double-take to realize its an is-f, but that can be a good thing.

The emblems were DIY. Got the supplies from home depot.

Hair dryer
Plastic card of some sort (I used an old library card. )
Rubbing alcohol
Matte/Flat black spray pain (I used Rustoleum)
Automotive Adhesive Glue (Can get this at Kragen or Autozone)

The emblems turned out very well. I sprayed 3 layers, 20mins in between, and waited overnight to put them on with the adhesive auto glue.

I'm in the SoCal area (San Gabriel Valley). I see quite a few F's driving around here.
