Looks great but you are very brave parking your IS at the end of the driveway with kids tossing a basketball around...could dent the hood.

Cathafer, you've got a good looking ride. I have my Blk/Blk 250 coming next Sat. and I hope that when I'm finished modding it looks somewhere close to as good as yours.

Great looking ride. One word of advice, be very cautious of parking your car on the streets! I was a witness of a little kid riding a bike and crashed into a tundra that left tons of dents and scratches. The kid ended up having a bloody nose and probably a beating from his parents. It seemed like he was looking at someone while riding and BOOM.

Looks great. The only complaint that I would have is the way the Tanabe's lower the car. I am a big advocate of having the gap on the car the same. With that drop, it makes the front still have a bigger gap than the rear. My personal opinion, is the eibachs are a better drop..... .8 rear and 1.0 front.
