Default Just picked up my IS300 on tuesday. Pics inside.

I have always wanted one of these, and luck me, a dealership just happened to have this when i was looking through their advertisements in the newspaper (i never drive by this dealership, so i never wouldve know), decided to stop by and take a look. Seemed very nice for the price, and miles are low. The said they would give us a very good trade on our four door Civic (more than we paid for it actually) so my wife said get it for her. My car, pics as well is a Honda S2000. The car has only 46K on it, and is one owner, clean car fax. They were asking 21,990 for it, and after the trade in, was an even 16,000. Im not for sure what ill be doing to the IS, and i really dont know much about them, but will always be looking for knowledge from everyone to guide me in the right direction. Coments, etc welcome. Thanks

Welcome to CL. Car looks good, but then again the IS300 is a good lookin' car stock. One of my first mods on that car though would be to change out that rear spoiler; it doesn't really fit the car.

heres the two most important mods to make

#1 rip off that fugly spoiler
#2 remove that fruity front licenses plate with the dealer name on it.
#3 sit back and enjoy the beauty if you arent looking to really mod it or
#4 slap a set of wheels on there to make the car look nice and aggressive (please no motegi's get a set of clean ray's or something)

Sorry i havent been on here in a while. Like i said before, i wish i could get rid of the spoiler, but i cant. The dealer plate was gone that day, those pics were from the 1st day i had the car. I deffinetly want to get a nice set of rims for it, and yes, they would be Volks, or Works, nothing else.

As to the clear lights on the trunk, they were already on there. i didnt take notice at first until i started looking for parts for the car that they were actually not stock. I dont want to sell them, but thanks. As of right now, im trying to sell my S2000 because i love this car so much and would rather have money to mod it than have 2 really nice cars i cant do to much to.

Congrats on the car, you got a good deal. But like everyone else, replace the spoiler. Clean S2000 BTW.
