Default First time pics of my ride

Hey guys, so its been almost 2 weeks since my purchase of the 2is. Off the bat, I want to mention I am not a big fan of heavy mods and such, and will probably be keeping the car as you see it now (I know I am probably a minority here! ) Anyway, nothing special just thought I'd introduce myself here and post up some pics. I'm from the NYC/NJ area. I'm sure you've all seen a stock IS (the rims were just plastidipped and will probably be the only mod I do to the car, if I decide to keep them even.) Still need to register/get plates so excuse the black license plate holder.

Car looks good. Good luck on not modding it though. I thought the same when I bought mine, but I've now done quite a bit to it. You need to drop that girl....... Wheel gap doesn't seem like an issue until you start looking at pics of cars that are lowered. Jus sayin....

^ agreed. That's the same thing I said.. I bought my car about a year ago, and after looking at others vehicles and this weather is making me want to mod my car. I've already bought a few things for my car! Good luck and nice ride!

No one does, but we all do it anyway. It's an addiction!

Damn, that's a pretty car. I wanted a white one so bad, but fate did not have it.

Yeah, really. I never looked at my car's wheel gap until seeing photos of other people's ride here

Now it must go away

You can start wherever you like, where it will end is the question. Ha! I like to think I'm done, but know that I'm not.
