Nice!

The red 03 IS that I'm getting has that body kit, eibach springs and the L-Tuned CF look grill but I'll change that one to the TTE or Sport Design. I plan on getting the Stoptech rotors, PLP intake, exhaust shield, radiator shield, and HKS Hyper. Down the road is the Toyomoto turbo kit as in my dad's GS.

Now, If I could just take the testdrive of the new STi out of my mind, I'd be haypy with my selection!

EDIT: It's a stickshift!

Are you buying this car used or off the lot with the body kit etc?

New. They installed all the options ( Eibach springs, body kit, cf look grill, L-Tunned 18's, exhaust, and stuff I might be forgeting.) but I'll delete the rimz and exhaust to get beter ones.

That is, if I take the car. The baseprice for that car here is $46.K without the extras that push it above $50.K.

The STi here is for sale at $38.K and offers more for the money. Take a look at the one I tested (Black one) http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...55#post3864255

I am soo undecided!!!!

$46K for an L-Tuned IS 300??? huh?? i dont believe that! thats absurd!!! go get yourself a twin turbo supra.....geeze... and the rims are by ray's engineering, and the exhaust is by HKS....cant get much better then those!!!! why would you want to replace them?

here is my car, L-tuned, minus the L-tuned front grille, and minus the rear spoiler..

I forgot we, as an island, got a 40% importation tax on cars. THAT would explain the tax!

Nice car you got there!
