anyone have pictures of the 2001 IS cause i've looked at the gallery and saw some 01 but it looks similar to the 04. my friend andy (bluebatmobile) who does vinyl overlays wants to use my car as a prototype. he's done celica's, matrix, 350Z, G35, wrx and now he wants to be able to do IS's. checkout his work below.

but yeah if you would be a guinea pig for bluebatmobile, that'd be great. i'd definitely be interested in some of his overlays, especially for sidemarkers and etc...

What about the SportCross? Mine is yellow with a chromish tail. I saw a dark blue SportCross with some darker tails and it looked good, or maybe I was imagining it with the darker paint?
