Default 2008 IS-F new owner

Hi guys I just recently purchased a used 2008 IS-F from a dealer in south Florida. I'm wondering if the previous owner is on these forums. The car has a few carbon accents and a different exhaust, which i do not know what brand. It's lowered and has some Varrstoen ES-2 rims. I come from an extensive mechanical background especially with building high hp Hondas/Acuras. I'm looking forward to keeping this car forever lol. Pics to follow shortly.

After a little research, I believe that it has a Greddy exhaust. But it definitely needs polishing lol.

Haha yea I seen the jag. All the cars there were really nice. I wanted one with less miles also, but the mods and price were right on this one.

Nice pick, the exhaust needs a lot of steel wool and metal polish.

I personally would go with aluminum alloy wheels to contrast the gray paint job, but that's just me.

I'd swap the oil, but that's just me.

Yea it has some miles but is very good shape. Sounds amazing too. Anyone know what exhaust it is? I noticed that each muffler has two separate pipes which I've only seen on the Greddy kits. I'm thinking Greddy SP. I'm going to polish it up and maybe pair the mufflers and piping with black exhaust paint.

Might be a custom exhaust? I would want to change out the rims. Reps on an isf is embarrassing imo.
