what was originally an inside joke has snowballed into a ginormous hate thread (not on each other, mind us all, but on that hideous thing that was an is350). as the original poster and thread starter, i suppose i should chime in and address some unanswered questions...

nope, NOT a photochop... well, except for the license plate. that, i had to photochop out. God forbid i reveal the identity of the individual that would do such cruel and inhumane modifications to the 2is...

actually, this is not a race car. as a matter of fact, it's a daily driver belonging to one of the autobacs employees.

how do i know? before i was snapping away, i saw the owner of this gawdawful is350 walking away. he was wearing an autobacs mechanics shirt and a pair of mechanix gloves. i'd dare veture to say that he's a glorified import grease monkey, but no more.

I like how its titled as a "spy shot". this seems to be nothing more then some confused individual looking to get free gear from autobacs.
i suppose being an employee of autobacs earns you free shwag (i.e. axis rims, federal tires, apr carbon fiber wing, universal muffler, hideously large autobacs bumper decal, etc. - see above response for reference).

keep the responses coming!

Well I guess I was wrong.
So I'm guessing the wing isn't welded onto the subframe?
