Welcome to the ISF Club...and Matador Red is an awesome color even if I am bias.

Heck someone should start a photo thread for each ISF color...that would be cool!

Any way good luck with the car and again welcome!

If my bumper wasn't drilled when I bought the car, I would totally go for that mounting plate.

My ISF came with the Factory drill plate and I covered them with bumperplugs from http://www.bumperplugs.com/.

They came painted and match the car perfectly

It's for the front license plate, so you don't have to drill your bumper. I just refuse to put a plate on the front. I'll wait till I get a ticket.

Congratulations man! That red is a good looking color on these cars. I'm a new/recent owner myself, purchased my '08 in Ultrasonic Blue the end of January. I actually got mine from a Lexus dealer in VA - nowhere close to Williamsburg though. Congrats again!

I've put about 3K miles on it already traveling to DC and NC. I am taking a cruise on the blue ridge parkway this weekend to enjoy some nice roads. I love this thing so much. I hope to have it for 500K miles.
New LED DRLs, Full Borla Cat-Back, and 2012 oem isf wheels on the way!!

Nice pick up man! Congrats! I don't know if you ever make it down to the other side of the HRBT but there are a few of us over here that have met up in the past, though it's been awhile. I went to law school up in Williamsburg and am in that area from time to time. Maybe I'll see you around. Congrats on the purchase.
