Wink 03 IS300 Pics and a Question

HI everyone! I recently inherited an 03 IS300 for my 16th b-day and I wanted to post some pics of it, talk a bit about it, and then ask a question.

The pics arent very great cuz I just took em with my camera phone in my driveway after a wash and not in the mountains with my DSLR. I haven't had a chance to take any good photos yet.




Lucky me it came with some bonuses!

Fujita Intake



Skunk2 Megapower Exhaust





Unlucky me tho it was left outside for some years in Arizona heat and the plastic parts are all fudged up. Even parts of the dash have melted.





All the fading plastic parts almost completely ruin the look of the car. Ideally I would like to put new wheels and some lowering springs on it but first things first I really need to take care of those plastic parts.

So here's the dilemma. Where can I get these things fixed and how much is that going to cost? I'm willing to save up and spend some money to get these looking nice again.

Try taking them to a good shop near you, probably just need to be repainted. Good luck

Congrats! and a lot of us in the heat have had dash melting issues. There's a diy thread on here for removing and painting it. You could scape off the goo and vinyl wrap it too.
