Default for the guys that liked the s2k

heres a shot of it sitting next to my IS the day I bought the IS, 3 days before I sold it =(
I do miss driving a manual and I do miss having a convertable but overall I'm completely satisfied with my IS. Just made my second payment, and already completed 80% of the mods I had planned

Looks like it's coming along nicely! I rock a molded replica wald front lip, don't see the point of paying all the $$ when your gunna have to pay to mold the fiberglass! Good luck

^yep but I just know some folks feel better about themselves being able to brag that they have the "authentic" or like to talk down on other members about it which I've seen on here but to each their own. Like I said no sense in wasting money on a product that is just the same or if not significantly different just to have the name. I really don't know anyone that goes out and buys somethin without looking for the best deal on whatever they are looking for but hey if you got the money good for you. There are things worth spending big bucks on but there are things that just aren't worth spending the extra hundreds of dollars on. By buying this replica spoiler and doing the work myself I was able to save money for more mods. Even though I don't have much left to do I'm on the fence with the VIP puddle lights. But if anyone has them please post ur pic or videos here for me to see

well...had the side skirts on already so they had to be removed. Drilled holes and ran wires. Wired them to the mirror puddles. My shop did it though.

Great work! Can't wait to see it on your car. I wonder if anyone has ever thought of molding the OEM spoiler, lol.
