Default Requested: Pictures of my lightly modded IS250M

I've been around the forums for a while but never really posted pictures of my car. It's not really heavily modified, so you'll pretty much see stock, but people have requested, so here it is!

Not the best pictures. I'm still learning!

Work Emotion XT-7s






The Car:
Purchased: Jan 2006
Miles: 50250
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Accidents: none (knock on wood!)
Bumps and dings: too many...

The Mods:
F-Sport
Front and rear sway bars
Rear chassis brace
Quick shifter
Intake

Tint
Sides: 35%
Rear: 15%

Rims
Work Emotion XT-7s

Lights
MTEC 9006 HID 6000K (Lows)
MTEC H11 HID 6000K (Fogs)
5-LED SMT City Lights

Audio
Harman/Kardon Drive+Play 2

Haha.. yeah.. tried a few on timer, but the tripod is still there. I may try to photoshop it in the future, but I think I just need to take it from better angles! Still working on using the new lenses I have.

Love the short shifter as I have mentioned on countless other threads. If you have an IS250M, get it.

Of course I know what MIT is (I went to GIT...). I was thinking maybe in this case it stands for made in Taiwan. Like I said, I was just assuming...

Nice Mods so far Mikeho keep it simple and clean. I like the shoes and great hid brand set! I know they dont come cheap. Hopefully I'll spot you rollin someday on the bayarea roads.
