I dont think its gonna run better then a 13.7-13.8 being the weight.

On another note, I have a nice set of 2010 convertible OEM 18's for sale in PERFECT condition that would probably look amazing on your car

haha thanks the comments guys. i'm very happy with my lights. i'm sure Sewell can give you guys some good options hahaha.

here's a little mini photoshoot. i'll definitely look better with suspension, wheels, etc.

Mini photoshoot with iPhone 4

Good clearbra job eh?



30% all around



LED DRL Daytime



My favorite shot



Got a little "artistic." Notice bumper plugs not noticeable



iPhone HDR app



In the meantime I have some things coming in the mail: JoeZ intake pipe, Tom's filter. And contacted the guys over at Redline Motive to see if Megans/Invidia midpipe will fit AWD. Next up: suspension > wheels. Keep you guys updated.

Joe

He's in denver colorado. With density altitudes typical of that region, the IS350 is probably a 16 second car, no joke. Of course, the same is true for all cars (especially N/A cars).

The DA is so brutal that running a 16 is equivalent to running a ~mid 13 in places where elevation above sea level is much lower.
