Default New to CL

Hey everybody!

I finally joined CL after lurking around for a while. I have a Smokey Granite Mica IS350 with Nav.
SGM is the best!
Some of ya'll from my.is may know me (screenname: AznStrike).

Well, I look forward to meeting ya'll and learning more about the 2IS's aftermarket. Props to you guys who have the Wald kit, it's my favorite so far! (although I'm very interested in the new kit by Artisan Spirit)

Here's my bone stock '08 IS350 (trying to resist the mod bug lol):

@YooNiBaLL: I've resisted it since last November when I first got the car.
But... I think my trip to Japan this summer may change things.

@ankurman: Hahaha, is there an SGM appreciation club on CL?

@GiantsFan: It's supposed to be a full bumper replacement, right? (I think I read that somewhere here on CL.) Anyways, I think this kit may give Wald a run for its money when it comes to sportiness.

@TripleL: Hehe, not many stock 2IS's around here, huh? I'm glad to be surrounded by such an enthusiastic modding crowd.

Yeah, i am pretty sure its full bumper replacement. In my opinion, better than wald.

Same here, but I'm just wondering what that rear bumper will look like... (or the price for that matter... Price will probably be steep for the whole kit, too lol.)

don't act like the mod bug never hit you before.

but it's okay; it's bitten just about everyone else around here.

Woot for SGM! I swear it looks like your "L" emblem is black pearl, or maybe it's the lighting.
