Congrats on the pick up, looks clean for an 06 model. Welcome to the SGM IS Community. Any plans to mod the car?

Thank you. It's very clean for a 6 year old car. I was surprised. I had been looking at newer ones but the price was right on this one so I nabbed it.

Future plans include suspension, wheels, I/H/E and a tune. But I have a lot of research to do before I start spending money. Probably do a front lip and trunk spoiler (like Wald). The problem is that I have another car that's eating up all the spare cash at the moment. Once it's finished I can concentrate on the IS.

Here is my other money pit:

I hope you didnt buy the car with big hopes to tune it because nothing is available for our cars.
