I saw a picture of the car with the mats in the car when it was for sale. Hopefully new owner know what he has there. It was sad to see your car cars (IS & GS) go tough, they were benchmarks for a lot of us on the forums.

Yeah I already pissed just knowing what these Atlanta streets might do to them. Actually thinking about getting a cheap beater again.

If you ever need anything, lemme know buddy
You have been hiding the pictures. Yep that front lip is amazing. Still not sure why Carson stopped making such a beautiful kit.

Thanks again on hooking me up on the Megans and easily answering all my questions. You been repping hard for a while so I’m just trying to keep up. Ohh saw your feature on Cannibeat. That’s an art of beauty right there.

I got these from CircuitMS, www.circuitmotorsports.net Maybe selling mines soon but lets see.

lol.... I didn't Trini I posted them a long time ago and everyone's post was away from the kit and towards "get rid of them chrome G-spyders" LOL..... Regardless they're still on the car, I've grown to love'em. I'll post up pictures later when I get my air suspension finished (still waiting for my struts to be shipped back home from UAS).

Ran into a few issues
Got incorrect lip size on wheels but decided to keep them instead of shipping the wheels back. The quality of these wheels are astonishing by the way. (Worked out a deal with Tong to make things right. Great sponsor and excellent CS on his part).

Went with 235/30 - 255/30 but not liking the ride on GA roads. Need to try 235/35 - 255/35 next.

Carson lip got damaged during alignment but got it back freshly painted last week (No cost to me).

Battery died only after 3 years. Hopefully its not the dreaded Auto light issue.

Had brake and traction light flashing on the dash after camber and balljoint install. On the drive home the brake light disappeared but I already had the tpms and Maintenance flashing. Had Discount Tire programmed my tpms for FREE so no more lights on the dash. Thus far brake light has not reappeared on dash.


Car is not slam or dialed in for a lot of negative camber as its still daily driven. Maybe after the holidays might revisit the idea of a beater.

Wheels still growing on me but I guess that's because I've had meshed wheels for so long and I'm use to see it on the car.

With this style wheels, I now see the need for BBK to finish off the look but have no BBk money lol.



This picture was taken by Zen. I have yet to take decent pictures.
