What a damn sick car.
That is one reason why I like the old IS more than the new one!

You guys with Team Solo know how to do it. That is one of the hottest 1IS's I have ever seen. Absolutely hot! Everything looks well thought out and matched. Flows really well. Great job!

Thanks a lot reggie....I think it's because we all try to out do the other. It's all in good fun and makes everyone always on their toes. (with empty wallets) haha
