Yep, not what I would like for a daily driver. Especially a salvaged one.

I'd really love that car more if the paint wasn't so hard to look at

Yes I remember that car from IS300.NET and the "story" (read:BS) about how it was totaled. That colorshift paint is showcar quality and cost something like +$10,000. The shape is so tasteful and the paint so garish that the car is self conflicting. He should have gotten the two foot tall wing.

I remember when that thing got totaled people were begging him not to do that again. The bodykit looks great, but the paint just doesn't work with the IS300.

I totally agree.

The car is beautiful but the paint HAS to go! A deep black would be so much better
