New ISF owner, questions!
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 2008 USB ISF and I am in love. Initially it was going to be an IS350 (hence the username lol) but after test driving the ISF.. I couldn't resist. This car is as solid as it gets with so much power. I previously owned an 03 Infiniti G35 coupe and man.. what an upgrade.
I've been reading around the forums a lot and trying to search for some answers but haven't gotten any definite ones.
I'm located in Canada and I find that it is harder for us to find aftermarket parts, are there any good sites that ship to Canada, or are located in Canada? I am hoping to start modding eventually. I looked into some bolt on mods: JoeZ intake and exhaust, sikky oe PPE headers. Previous owner installed an SRT intake and I researched it and apparently it has negative effects
Also, I want to take my exhaust tips off because the previous owner plasti dipped them and did a ****ty job.
Lots of things I'd like to do and fix up as the previous owner had some weird likings.. ie. plasti dipped the IS logo bright green (looks like the new subaru color, don't know if he was going for that look) but i took that off already and also most of the plasti dip off the exhaust tips as well. Currently CF wrapped the hood, grille and parts of the interior.
sorry for ****ty iPhone pics..
Thanks everyone

Luis is not very strong with shipping parts internationally...you are best to hire and provide a brokerage house to assist with boarder, duties and handling.
Our week dollar will also drive prices $$$. For example shipping a 80lb exhaust system will probably add $350.00 to get it landed to you or more plus exchange and taxes.
0.10 on the dollar adds up quick with big ticket items.

I really wanted joeZ exhaust, unfortunately it would cost me arm and leg to get it shipped from Ltuned to my place in Canada. I went with borla full dual cat back 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy with it, awesome sound, no drone at all, and much cheaper then joeZ, plus we have canadian vendors that carry them in stock.
