note that, back then, no one ran cheap, knock-off parts (replica body kits, fake wheels, etc.). there was actually genuine interest in the 2is scene and pride in ownership, and part of the pride in ownership included rockin' the legit stuff. "don't fake the funk" wasn't just some flippy license plate frame cliche.
now it's just about "where can i get a replica kit?" or "how can i make these varrstoen wheels fit?" (really?)
those days are so gone.

that is the same thing that happened with the first generation IS. There were so many built with quality parts and authentic products, now a days its a bunch of youngsters "stancing" them out and making them look like anything but a Lexus. The 2nd gen IS is heading in the same path for some owners sadly. I've seen quite a few that make me cringe
Here's one of my favorite OG pictures:

I would say these four pics influence me to buy a IS and start modding again.
Dangy always post up pics on facebook and his car was always looking fly.
Sffd103 was a random pic i saw on the net until i met him on CL, gave me some advise on modding my car and other pros, cons for the other 2 pics i dont know them and never met them but they were both screen savers of mine
