Default itBurns' IS250 F-Sport Photography / Build

Right off the bat - this is not going to be much of a "Build". Only a few mods planned, however, I do plan to be "PIC HEAVY" as I like car photography, and especially HDR photos - so that is what you can expect here.

Absolutely love the car... have had it for only 3 days now and already have mods coming! lol


Current Modifications
- b2autodesign 20mm Spacers
- iJDMToys Interior LED Kit
- Custom Straight Pipe Axle-back Exhaust



I may do some RS*R Down Springs in the future, but, still undecided.

Anyways, here are some "Stock" pictures...

Nice shots, subscribed. I'm going the same path so I want to see you do it first and since you're a photographer, I'd have a chance to look at the mods in a better picture lol. Also do you do videography? Might help me decide on exhaust options since I'm looking at invidia vs ark.

Thanks guys!

Installed b2designs 20mm wheel spacers on the front and rears yesterday. Love the stanced look it gives - now I feel the need to drop it. (Though, will wait till next season)

Got some exhaust tips coming and having a local exhaust shop build a custom axle back.

More pictures to come in the near future

Airbags didn't deploy .. does that seem right?







At this point, I hope it's totaled so I can start over .. but I have a bad feeling.

Airbags didn't deploy .. confusing to me?! Got bad whiplash and my chest from the seatbelt hurts pretty bad, but besides that I am fine.


Guess it's a waiting game to see what insurance says, what this is going to do to my premium...etc.

Just a quick update ... at the body shop and the damages are over $10,000. Shop says they suspect they'll have it all fixed by next weekend or shortly after.

Shop really helped me out - I had no car rental coverage on my insurance, I took the gamble expecting that if I were ever in an accident, it wouldn't be my fault ... but the shop took all the expenses from Hertz so I could actually get a car to get to and from work, and no just rely on my motorcycle.

So, until Lex is all fixed, I'm cruising in a Corolla.
