Default New IS-F Owner Intro

Hey guys,

I didn't see a newbie intro thread so I guess I will just post up my own.

Just bought a 2010 Mercury Metallic IS-F a couple of weeks ago.

Good Lord do I love this car.

Better yet, it came with a CF diffuser (I think it is a Toms) and clear bra FTW!

Mods planned:
Front lowering bolt kit
Takeda Intake
Sikky Headers
Exhaust
Install Polk amp and 10" Polk sub from previous car
VAIS Ipod ML2 (standard Lexus interface is just too slow)
CF front lip

That's about it. Can't go too crazy. My last car was an e46 M3 that I went crazy on. Wife has had enough of that.

Anyway here are some pics of my new one and my previous one. Looking forward to being part of the community!

You might want to change that sikky headers to PPE. They are much better quality.
