Wow - thanks for all of the replies. And, thanks to Seize for fixing my pics. I have to figure out how to post to the gallery (next time).

I wasn't a fan of the color when I bought it in November but now it has grown on me. It looks great after a fresh wash. I am going to have it detailed next weekend and will take more pics.

This summer I'd like to drop it on L-tuned springs but I am still undecided on that. If I do, I will probably do 20's.

I also plan to either: (a) tint the tails or (b) replace tails with LED Red/Smoke tails. Then, just add the 20th anniversary grille from Toyota & some smoked side markers to finish off the smoke/titanium look of the front end.

I bought the car with 30,800 miles 5 months ago and just cracked 32,100 last night. It is such a pleasure to drive but I rarely get to actually enjoy it (I use a daily drive for work). I'm hoping to drive it more this summer.

Thanks again for all of the replies. Does anyone have any feedback on the 2008 ISx50 Graphite wheels? I like them but am not completely sold. I am thinking of keeping them as back-ups/winter wheels except I don't drive this car in the winter. The do match the paint color of the car pretty well.

I'm not really sure what they weight. I don't drive the car fast so I can't really say if they hold the car back any.

I will say that the stock bridgestones suuuuck. They ride rough & noisy. And, the fronts are too low profile for my taste.
