Default My gf's VIP style 250

sup everyone. this is my first post... i'm loving the boards you got here! i swear you all got some sick rides... very nice. so this inspired me to go ahead and share a few pics of my gf's new '07 250 that she bought about 1 month ago. i know "bippu" style isn't everyone's flavor, but out here in Hawaii it's pretty popular. lemme know what you guys think.

Her car is the first IS in the country with the JDM Air Runner system... serial number on her kit is 0000001. Ride height is adjustable by about 6 inches. She's running the full Ings+1 5-piece lip kit, and Work Varianza T1S rims (19x9 front and 19x10 rear). Tires are mildly stretched with a 225/35 on the 9, and 245/35 on the 10.

She ordered all the parts several months before she bought the car, and we were lucky enough that everything got put on just in time for a car show in Honolulu last weekend. here's some before and after pics.

Good professional installation. How much did all the mods cost? With installation it must not have been cheap.

Would like to see some pics at a rideable height.

dude why would u bag an IS.. and what seats did u put in...
I guess I don't really get it why waste so much money on 250 by putting in NOS and all that stuff when 350 still will own it.

Its the sport/lifestyle not the money or "why" Keep in mind this is a girls car, not saying girls dont like to speed but most dont really need the power.
