Default New member w/ new ride..

This is my first post on here, wanted to start with a little introductions, my name is Thai, I'm 22 and I like nice cars, always been into nice fast cars and have a hobby of trying to make them faster, before this I had an 08 350z which was my first car, had a lot of fun with that car but i recently purchased a 2011 F-sport IS350c 3 weeks ago. Already did some minor cosmetic mods like 20% tint, blacked out emblems and front grill, will smoke the tails as well as add yellow film and bulbs to my fog lamps. Performance wise going to add an invidia mid pipe, intake and maybe ppe headers to make the Fsport exhaust sound meaner. Was also thinking coilovers and spacers for a more aggressive look. I'm use to doing a lot with my Z forum guys so if there is ever a DC Metro meet, count me in!

SEXY BEAST! I like the ISc body better, minus the retractable roof.

A 5.0 V8 swap from the IS-F in this exact car would be fantastic. Nice looking car.

That is correct this is the limited edition 2011, so I have the black and red interior. There are 175 of these running around, what makes mine unique is that this is the only one with the F-sport exhaust as part of the factory options I believe since it was the one used for the New York Auto Show.

wow very rare indeed. However since you have such a unique car, your going to be hard-press to find lips and sides that will fit. There are very few body kits out there made for the ISC so far

Nice ride! It looks good just like that! Of course a lower drop would make it even better.
