haha thanks for the compliments guys!
When I mean I am done modding, I am over it lol. I spent a ton of money on this thing and I've only owned it since the summer. I bought it bone stock. The pursuit of perfection has been fun, but I am building a new house, and I would like to focus the resources and energy into that! I always get really antsy when something isn't complete, only to move onto the next project once it is lol. That being said, I really hope I can love the ISF for a long time, but in the mean time, I am glad to take a breather from the modding and be content with how it sits
I've also gone to the extreme on other cars, and it took the joy out of driving or owning em! For example, a 700whp daily driven vette that wasn't fun to daily anymore because I was constantly waiting for something to break. Or the full CF front end 350z show car that was so perfect I didn't want to take it out of the garage for fear of what I created being ruined, and it did all the time lol. The ISF is at the point where its enjoyable, reliable, and not overboard / overwhelming to daily.

Very well done, I like it a lot. The stance is perfect and I love the subtleties of the mods. They're there, but they blend in well. I especially like the flow of the front lip (Lexon?) to the side skirts. What sides are those? I used to have a Lexon replica lip but it got destroyed (long story, but I wasn't driving my car). I like the style of the rims too.
So yes, post the mods list.

Vossen VFS2 wheels
PPE headers
Joe Z exhaust
Toms rear diffuser
Wald style CF replica spoiler
Lexon CF replica lip (ISFpat knows a guy lol)
Swift Springs
Vredestein tires
Custom hand laid CF splitters (made by a local guy)
5% tint all around
6k HID low beams and fogs
Blackbox Dash Cam
Gloss Black headlight housings
iJDMtoy full LED interior lighting
Joe Z intake tube
AFE dry intake filter
Red extended lug nuts
I think thats it, but might be forgetting something lol.

Very very nice RedlineAZ!!! Looking good. I love the wheels and the adult stance. Clearly dropped but doesnt look a kid drives it. ...... This is not the car of a "man child". LOL
You did a great job. Very tasteful and complete mods. Your ride is an inspiration to the guys to with the stock cars like me

Lol.
Being the reasonable guy that I am, you have 3 months off to sort out the new house.
After that, I expect the mods to carry on in earnest!
Besides, you and I have been taking a pretty similar journey since we bought our cars, but im hoping to have my Wald replica spoiler, upper carbon spoiler, vented carbon Seibon hood installed this Friday!
I'm also getting my BC BR coilovers with Swift springs soon, and then there's my custom H&S exhaust with real quad tips! Lol.
Can't have you falling behind too much mate!

Hey Redline think of how cool it will be to park your awesome ride in that cool new garage in that new house. Gonna be great. Id suggest saving like crazy. A new house will swallow every penny you can toss at it. If its not appliances, it furniture, landscaping, etc. I have been modding my house LOL. At least the value goes up. No new wheels and exhaust......but added a Spanish fountain and 15k in landscaping and outdoor furniture . LMAO

Its going to be crazy expensive, I am already mentally preparing myself to drain my resources lol. I agree, I would rather pimp out the house then the car!

Its a very bad habit, but it ALWAYS happens to me. I go through phases of either buying cars completely modded and not being happy with the lack of modding options once its done, to buying bone stock cars only to mod them out and when they are finally done wanting to go onto the next challenge or burning myself out with the modding only to want to buy an average DD and/or a weekend toy. I've gone through 3 corvettes, 3 G37's, a 350z, a 370z, 3 Mercedes, the ISF, and a toyota sedan....in the last 3 years. I am at the point where I am considering letting it go, and put some money aside for a Lambo. My wife is in the process of potentially getting a new job that would provide a new car for her, so if that works out its time to sell our cars and eventually get something exotic
