Default New Jersey, where the ALL STOCK ISx50 abounds!

Here in NJ, and I would like your input if its the same by you, all I see are 100% stock IS's. IS250awd's for that matter. I'm the only IS350 around, and I'm the only one with mods.

Now I know there's a few CL members here like Mikez that are in NJ, but my guess is besides us and the few others, everybody is all stock! Me and my wife always see em' and just say "ah, so much potential... all lost"

No rims. No drop. And amber blinkers galore!

Is it the same in your area too?

SoCal members, we don't even need to hear from you. We already know every single IS is pimp'd out there!

You have to go stock to stand out

I'm in North Jersey and I drive an IS350. It's stock except for the GFX front lip that I'm going to install soon, and I don't plan on modding it any further. I thought about putting IS-F tails on there, but I just couldn't justify the cost. Maybe I'll do LEDs instead someday. MAYBE. I have tints too, but I don't think that really counts as a mod. My last car was a Scion tC and I left that bone stock too except for the S2000 antenna. I've never had much interest in modding cars to be honest.

I know how you feel. Here in Brooklyn, NY I only see few of them also. However, there lots of hooked up is300. I just started working on mine recently. Hopefully, the outcome can be compared with the ones in Cali.
