Default Duuhhhellooooo. *warning, lots of pictures*

Wassup guys. I guess I'll start my own thread for my car. It'll be a timeline so I'll just update it from time to time. I'll post up what I have started so far. But anyways, about me.
The name is Dennis, currently a college student so my funding is low. Only 19 so bear with me.
Most of my work will mainly be at home btw.

Now the ride. 2005 IS300 Auto/E Shift


First thing I brought.


Megans Racing Coilover. EZ type


After that was done, I painted my calipers with a Lexus logo. Some pictures.








I also have Apexi WS2 Exhaust on my car. Sounds really quiet at first but after the car is up and running, it'll give a deep tone to it. I like it




Did my fog light Standalone mod. Also brought 3k HID for my foglight.



I brought myself a Greddy Lip and had it painted and everything.




I had the lip on for 2 days then I hit a pothole on the freeway and my lip flew off I saw it thru my rear view mirror
This is what is left of it.



Can't post over 25 pictures...dammn

Brought myself some more goodies



Went to EDC2012 so I taped up my front for the car ride. From LA to Las Vegas.

Crusing down with the homies in his XB


Well, EDC was amazing. I came back and decided to clean my interior. Seat was dirty as hell.

If you look closely, you can see the different. left side vs right side.



Brought some spacers after. 15mm in the front. 25mm in the rear.
I had to roll my fenders a bit so I did. Went old school and used a wooden bat. Result came out great. Can't complain.




Here a picture of it with 25mm in the rear.



Ran into some trouble coming back from LA. Such a sad day...


Not long after that, this number arrived ):


Taking a break for now. Will continue in a bit.

Blew my subs so I decided to go with something different.
Picked up a 13in" JL W6v2


Currently working on my trunk set up. Here a box that I started working on. 3/4 MDF wood. Measurement is exact to reach performance. Seal box ftw

Nice car man. I've always loved that color. I want to see some side view shots to see the difference in wheel gap.

thanks man. i love my color. not that many people have it
no wheel gap at all. I used to be tucking tires but I raise it a bit to make life easier. I'll post up a picture for you soon.

Not a good idea bro. The stock wheels call for Mag Seat w/ washers lug nuts... those that you are using in the rear are Acorn Tapered. Your wheels might fly off... I suggest you put the stock ones back on for your safety.
