You can always steal my idea cause I dont know if Im going to do it to my SC anymore.
The color below is called sparkling silver paint code WV2

This one is my favorite cause theres a bit of a bronze tint to it gun grey metallic color code KH2

If you put a GT wing on your 2IS you better be ready with your flame suit on I remember 2 or 3 people doing it and its quite a big I think only 2 IS race cars are running those wings and I think it ruins the look of the car

ill get flamed on sure, but everything has been said and done. 19s with ings kit / vertex kit with SGM is zoo played out already. Its so very cookie cutter and i hate that. I don't want to be another SGM with 19s and a lip kit. ::Yawn:: if your not thinking outside of the box, then your just following the crowd and being a sheep. I want to make it "my own."

btw, anyone got pix of those cars with the GT wing?

p.s. please do not say the lexus is a classy car and shouldn't be bastardized with a GT wing.. give me a break its a Toyota with leathers.

The front lip on that car is the ST garage lip. That wing looks ok on that car because it is a full race car with a 2JZ built engine. The fenders are a custom widebody, I personally think the car would look 10x better without any wing at all.
That whole car is just a badass.

you can technically call any car a race car the OP's car is only going to be making 300-315hp and for that kind of power you definitely dont need a shopping cart.
