Congrats on your purchase. Nice ISF pix on the beach. The more you drive it, the more you'll love it. I see you go to UCLA. You might want to join the upcoming BBQ in Dana Point. Good time and place to meet other ISF owners. I'd go if i was close by. What's mods are you planning on doing?

Thanks guys. I actually was looking for a NGP one but really liked this one so I said wth. I was definitely planning on coming out to the Socal BBQ and meeting some of the forum members. Got so many questions! I was thinking about maybe dropping the car and then getting rims first. Can't decide on springs or coilovers yet.

Looks great and welcome!! Get exhaust and suspension. You'll love it even more. I did not add any carbon fiber pieces to my obsidian since its a black car and doesn't necessarily stand out too much. I just love the simple and clean look. Enjoy your ride!! =)

I've been reading a little about the Joe Z exhaust and Sikky headers but I'm reluctant with California smog testing. I even came across a review on the k&n typhoon intake with +30 hp increase and then found another forum member's thread that found that the stock intake performed the best, lol. What are your guy's thoughts? Thanks.

Welcome and congrats on the F! First thing, I'd get some great detailing supplies. Not that it shows in the pics, but for the future, because as we all know, black is a pain to keep clean. It's pretty solid from the factory, but there is a good amount of info here on the forums to help you. Best of luck and enjoy it!

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely be looking for info on exterior detailing. I think I got the interior detailing covered!
