Default Finally! New pics!

EDIT: MOST RECENT PICTURES ON PAGE 5.

EDIT: MORE pictures on page 3.

I was gonna make a title like "Caution: Hot Fiya" to go with that other dudes thread, but decided not to

Anyway, finally got my parts back from paint. Full Vertex kit with JDM Altezza rear bumper and replica UGO roof spoiler. I did NOT have the front bumper repainted because I got it for a steal and it was already white. It doesn't match, I WILL have it repainted this winter.














I should be going out Wednesday evening for some new pictures with one of my buddies (a better photographer than I am). So I'll have new pictures soon.

Yup, black interior was a top priority when looking for an IS. I was looking for a 5 speed, white, full black interior. And yes I got the car bone stock.

lol love it.

I liked the old look a lot also, it just started to get old. I know Vertex is extremely popular (well with the replica's) but I love the look especially the rear lip. I'm super happy with how it all came out though.

When I finally get around to installing my Figs adjustable toe links I'm gonna lower the rear a little more. Depending on how that looks I MIGHT throw a 5mm spacer in there too. Right now my wheels are:

18x9 +20 (+35 with a 15mm spacer to clear LS400 calipers) with 215/40/18 and -2* of camber
18x10.5 +41 with 255/35/18 and -.8ish degrees of camber

So I have some wiggle room to add more camber in the rear

It's hard keeping it this clean but it's worth it. I really need to use some leather cleaner/conditioner but it's been so hot lately lol. I will be soon though!

I did just buy a set of four brand new floor mats too! They'll be sitting in the packaging for a couple years lol.
