Default help! my friend just bought an almost rice IS300 and need parts!

Friend of mine just bought a GGP 02 IS300 Automatic w black cloth/ leather seats.. that's the good part. It has 20" chrome rims that rub like crazy and have taken chunks out of the aftermarket vented fenders he put on the car. He also removed everything in the trunk for a stereo install. She will be borrowing my stock 17"s soon until she gets herself some 18-19s and new fenders.. here's the WTB post if anyone has or knows anyone who has these parts and will sell them let me know, thanks.

so far i donated smoked front side markers since hers are chrome and one was smashed when the tire caught and pulled on the wire for the bulb. she just needs to find someone to sell her those stock parts and her car will be in much better shape before the carlisle show

Wow... I think the same guy that owned my car got a hold of yours too... LOL.

When I got mine it had the same crap done to it... Nasty vented fenders, big ugly chrome wheels that rubbed like hell... bad stereo install and the list goes on..

Hope you get everything banged out! Post some pics of it

2 years ago when everything on it was in good shape, now the bolts on the hood pins have rust, hood has cracks and chips, fenders are screwed, sidemarkers broken, rims arent really chrome so much anymore, etc etc

Those rims look as if they were bought from pepboys or someplace real cheap... epic fail...

We need to get some sledgehammers, a welder, some gum, and a piece of string to put this baby back together!
