No the wheels aren't plasti dipped. It's been full all, continue to enjoy your Lexus'. I just got tired of the rattling, and not having a clutch (I love using my stick shift). I've also always wanted a hatchback, and I love the attention to detail VW put into the Mark VI with all of the red stitching, the aluminum pedals, the HID's for running, regular, and high beams, not to mention the yellow fog lights that come standard and...well, so much more. Maybe I'll be back in a few years when I buy my IS-F :P

Congrats on your VW GTI... There's quite a few I've seen in socal that are modded

Good luck and I hope you get your IS-F sooner than a few years

It's a great MT ride. A few of my buddies have it, and they've tuned it quite nicely. The advancements from the previous gen GTI to this current one have been very well received. Enjoy your new ride!

didn't you just get your 2is? probably a good move though; cost of ownership (and enthusiast-ship) will most likely be more affordable. after all, those 2is aftermarket parts can be expensive, and those vossens... well, that's a whole different story... but i digress.

no need to "leave" just because you're no longer a 2is owner. hope things work out for you.
