Default 2012 nebula gray ISF

Been bouncing back and forth between a GS460 and an ISF, and I think I've decided to commit to the ISF. Looking to likely purchase in the next few weeks to months after looking for 9 months.

Looking at this IS-F and from what I can see it has some mods. I'm seeing some carbon fiber side skirts and a front splitter. The rims also look to be painted and also the front grill. Anyone see anything else I'm missing? I generally shy away from modified vehicles, but if it's just cosmetic items that might be alright. It's been listed for a while and I'm curious if I'm missing anything.

There was a USB at sewell that I was watching very closely but unfortunately it looks like someone picked it up.

Any individual leads are appreciated, looking specifically for 2011-2012 at this time, with some preference to 2012.

Thanks guys/gals.

From what I can tell it looks like its got some kind of exhaust on it if you look at the tips.

Yep you're definitely right. While I had thought maybe an exhaust in modifying, this has me a bit concerned on what else has been done.

There are a few 2012's and 2013's on AutoTrader, just do a nation wide search.

There were 2 USB's as well.

I would like a usb with the black interior, so of the three there's one that's white, and the other's white. The other I asked for pictures but haven't heard in a day or so.

The USB with black interior is a little harder to come by.

What other colors do you like? The Nebula is rare too, I don't know how many units they made but I only saw another NGP 2012 in CA when I lived there, and that was after 2 years of owning my car.

There is a 2012 NGB with black interior in Texas, I would go after that car if I was you. It looks stock, factory wheels and black interior. 21K+ miles.

Either ship or drive it. If you need a good shipping company, let me know, I shipped my ISF from the Bay Area to Raleigh, NC.

You could buy the USB and have the interior re-done, but that's going to be a whole bunch of $$$.

The USB with red interior is just horrible, not sure what they thought when they made that combo. LOL

The red and white paint job flows pretty well.

Those seats are very worn out for only 50k miles. Personally, I would stay away from modded vehicles unless I know the other and what he put into the car.

agreed, I played the modified game for a while, and have spent a lot of time under a car. Frankly I'm tired.

You can tell me exactly what you want, and I can make that happen.

I stayed away from that car due to the mods, worn seats and especially missing the oem 2012 wheels.

^^^^^^^ good call. Unless its a known member here I would stray.

Also why the heck do people put cars up for sale with junk in car, don't vacuum it. I tell you what when I sell something its pristine. I just don't understand. Then people wonder why their product doesn't sell. Stupid.

Like all these guys will tell you. Wait and take your time for the right one. It will come. You just may have to fly and drive back.
