Welcome to CL! Very clean car Most people would say Lower, Kit, Rims in various order..but i'm in your boat.i want to keep it looking stock

My plans are: Stock Red Paint, Subtle drop, 18 inch ISX50 rims, Tint, Painted front lip, and new exhaust tips/new exhaust

I would bookmark that link. It is a GREAT source for almost anything. Also, remember to search first!

Welcome to CL!!! I'm going for the same look you are...OEM look with some minor upgrades: exhaust, rims, tint and hopefully a front lip painted to match the car someday. Here is something to give you an idea.

I concur.
380,000 km ( 228,000 miles), original engine and transmission. Uses a litre of oil every 6,000 km, which is when I change it.
