Default New 6MT Starfire Pearl Owner Here!

Just picked up my 6MT Starfire Pearl IS250 yesterday. I am absolutely in love. Driving it to work this morning just felt so...right. Haha. Anyway, I'm looking forward to being a part of the community and seeing all you people's sexy cars! Here are some pics!

Nice indeed! Welcome to CL.

Minus the 6MT, we pretty much got the same car

Thanks! There was actually an auto one at the lot that was essentially the same car just had lower miles which put it out of my price range.

Congrats on the new car and welcome to the CL IS Community.

Any plans to mod the car in the future?

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm a college student balling on a budget, but possibly coils, spacers, lip kit and that's about it if I save up the funds. After getting out of my E46 M3, I'm hoping I won't have to spend as much on maintenance and can save some monies for mods. Haha. No more $120 oil changes for me!

Congrats. I wonder what the percentage is for manual IS's with and without navi. I don't see too many with it

Yeah, the only other six speed manual that I ever saw while I was looking also didn't have nav. That and heated seats are the only things I wish I had. But since I'm in Florida I won't need the heated seats too much. Haha.

Brandon, welcome to CL! Nice ride. You'll love the IS when you start modding it and there are tons of ideas and members here who are willing to help.

Appreciate it! I can't wait to get started on it, but for now it's already an awesome vehicle!

Unfortunately I'm in northwest Florida. The scene up here is awful at best. Haha. Good to know there are people on the east coast though, I was starting to think everyone is from Cali.
