Default The search is over, found my IS-F!!

This past weekend the wife and I made a long trip from Texas to Kansas to look at an 08 USB. I had done a lot of digging and pestering of the previous owner, but it all paid off. It is in nearly mint condition with only 2 rock chips, and a small ding in the passenger rear door which a paintless dent repair should be able to remove. It has just over 79,500 miles after the drive back and I am LOVING the car more and more every day. Enough of all that though, onto a couple pics! I will get some more hopefully tomorrow.

Congrats.

What are your plans for it? Any mods, or just keeping it stock?

Bet that was a fun first trip!

Plenty of time to get acquainted with each other!

Enjoy the car dude. They are great fun.

Enjoy the car dude. They are great fun.
The first thing I want to add is a Vais bluetooth module, say no to cords!

I also want to get some weathertech mats and a rear seat from an IS250\350 so my dog can ride with me, and also for down the road when we have kids.

As for performance I am trying to decide if I want to do the PPE headers\dual exhaust combo, or save up for loooong time and go the novel route. You really cant beat the sound that the novel setup makes.

The only other thing I would want to do is add a mechanical LSD.

I actually brought this one back to Texas. It was sold at the Plano Porsche dealership in late December or early January to the second owner who lived in Kansas. He is in the army reserves and didn't want to make payments on the car while it sat in the garage and wasn't being properly cared for. Unfortunately he didn't get to enjoy it much and only put 3-4k miles on it, but it worked out for me I guess
