trust me i am on a budget. its all in money management my friend besides if you really were on a budget the IS would not have been too smart of a move

Trust me I am on a budget, the IS 250 is a $30,000 downgrade for me.
The only mods I have done are Black Pearl emblems and 5% lumar tint all around. The 5% tint and black emblems look good on a black car, but I think any color car needs blacked out windows.

$30,000 downgrade? what did you have a $65,000 car before? or its taking $30k out of your pocket, which i do admit is a lot of money

Dude, you live in my hood. I'm debating whether or not go CS or SS. I have a really stiff/firm ride and the handling is awesome in my Miata which I like. But on the IS it's not firm/stiff enough and the handling in the turns are that great. Any chance you can give me ride to let me see and feel how it handles?

I'm not from k-town. But based on the pics it looks like you're from the La Canada/La Crescenta. PM me and we'll figure out a spot.

BTW . . . I'm from the Pasadena area. Also, maybe I can get Pocky to join us. That way I can see how the CS on his IS350 feels vs. your SS.
