Figured an introduction was in order ...
for those that don't know me, or my car from is300.net, i figured i would post up a few pics of my car and the upgrades......
2002 IS300 in MSM
PIAA FR-S 18" wheels
Tanabe: GF springs, front and rear sway bars, Rear strut tower bar, front under brace.
JIC: Polished front Strut tower brace
GReddy: Emanage Ultimate, Catch can
taken from HIN in KC more of these can be found here... http://www.transonicracinginnovation...shiHin?page=24
NItrous bottle has been in the car for months now, and still isn't hooked up! ... i have been waiting for the emanate ultimate to come out so i could take advantage of the nitrous abilities it has, now that i have it in, i just need to find some time to finish the install!
more pics can be found here ...

as for me, i own a performance shop in Omaha NE, which is why my car has shop logos in almost every pic lol. IS was purchased when i figured out that the shop was becoming to busy for me to have as much time for my own projects anymore, so there is a constant battle w/ myself to keep from modding the car too much, and finish my 88 MR2 Supercharger project, and start rebuilding my 89 Supra Turbo AGAIN! That way the IS just remains the "reliable transportation"

You know, one of these days, if I keep seeing these beautiful 1st Gen IS300's, I'm gonna end up getting one, but I don't want to get rid of my SC 
And having 2 cars makes no sense for me.
Nice CAR!!!

thanks for the compliments guys....
NYLexSC, seems like the grass greener on the other side ... right after i bought the IS one of my neighbors put a mint condition SC up for sale, peal white w/ the lip kit on it, It was so tempting to try and resell the IS. Only thing was that was an auto and my IS is a manual.
RMMGS4, It was designed to stay below the trunk floor so that i could build a cover, i just haven't to gotten it done yet. i'm still trying to think of a creative way since there will have to be a middle support to the cover, or it will need to be made out of something on the heavier side to keep it from bending when things are set on it. I will probabbly do more w/ it this winter since i don't drive the IS in the snow months. Makes it much easier to tear it apart for days at a time if theres no temptation to drive it
