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..

nice and welcome! just to let you know, your window visors are just those ebay brands. you can tell because the real altezza window visors, the part that goes over the sidemirror comes down too much. and "altezza" is not engraved on either, right? towards the b pillar... and man, i ike those work weister wheels lol

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..
