Just a simple peace sign and acknowledgement is good enough. sometimes I'll do a thumbs up if he or she's got a nice set of wheels & offset

Why would they have to be modded to get a wave?
I'll give an occasional wave to any IS if they've done the same.
Don't be a fricking SNOB

sigh, only seen a couple modded ISx50s and they were parked.

most ISx50s here in austin are stock, so I don't bother waving at them.

I don't think modded IS owners are trying to be snobs to stock IS. At least I don't try to be.

I think its more of comfort level to wave at a modded IS vs. stock. Cause we can relate to the mods more than the car.
Unlike a stock IS, we wave to the driver (a driver who is not into mods/car enthusiast at all) may think, "who is that fool waving at? And WTF did he do to his car?"
