Default Hello IS :)

Don't think anyone from the IS section knows me here haha. I have been on this forums for some times but now moving to the IS section. I am coming from the ES sections.. We'll anyways I just picked up an IS300



This was my 99 ES300 which I still have but going to start driving the IS..







And here is my new baby She already comes with a few mods.

Tein Flex's; JIC Carbon Strut bar; Nos Kit (missing bottle); VIS Carbon Hood; Greddy Carbon Lip; Carbon Gas tank lid; Altezza window visors; Black headlight with eyelids; Catback HKS High Power Exhaust; 18' Gewalt Racing Evolutions; maybe more but I can't think of any right now haha..

Thanks for all the welcomes. I see a lot more people on the IS threads than ES. The rotors are rusted because the car has been sitting there for more than a year haha.. The IS had 3 different wheels on there but I am not keeping any of them.. Yup.. I am going to miss that ES haha.. The window visors does say Altezza as you can see in the last picture its that small white dot near the pillars. I don't know if its ebay or not. Guess everyone likes those works.. too bad it is going on the ISF haha..

Haven't been posting here for a while. Here are some pictures of the updates on my car.

Before.. The hood was faded and ugly..

After.. I gave the hood a good claybar and wax.

Added a lip and black headlight w/ eyelids.


Added the wheels..
