Hey sick IS. Where in the 805 are you located I also have a IS300 Sports Design its pretty much unmolested I am on a broke college budget but hopefully will get some money this summer to mod it. Anyways I just moved to Santa Barbara from Seattle and trying to meet some car people!

Love how far this has come. Keep going, would love to see how it looks once the bodykit is on!

Thank you! I'm pretty excited to get the rear bumper on.

I know I've seen this car around. And you can't hide grimes canyon from me.
Looks great, would love to check this sucker out in person. The is300 has been a favorite of mine since they came out.

Keep it up brother.

Hahaha nice! I'm down to meet up, PM me your #

Your is300 is nice. Love the painted tails. I think if you stripped the battles and polished them it'd be dope. Like how the cst's came in japan

I like that idea, getting tired of the bronze already.

^^^They ride great.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I haven't been on S|W for a while so here's a mini update. I'm upgrading the spring rates to 12K/10K for more stiffness. I've been busy with school, work, and my project drift car, so I haven't really done anything with the Lexus other than lower it more. I was going to go with some aero, and ended up selling my sideskirts. I think I'm just going to keep it simple and rock a front lip with my newly acquired authentic Altezza rear bumper w/lip.

Thinking about keeping this GReddy lip.


Here's the sideskirts I was going to rock, looked pretty cool but I know it'd blow up on the freeway and someone shot me an offer I couldn't refuse for them.


Here's the rear bumper. For those who aren't familiar, this bumper sticks out shorter than the US bumper. What most people do in the states is run the TRD or L-Tuned rear lip on the US bumper. I spent the extra cash to get the JDM rear because no one around me has it, there are no side markers, and for the mAd TyTe JdM points.




This is how it currently sits now:

[madchyers]

Thanks fellas. I got the car aligned 2 days ago (there was so much toe it was ridiculous), and finally pulled my rear fenders out.
