Hey all, Just bought a 2003 Silver IS300 5spd. with 88k miles about a week or 2 ago. I've been modifying and messing around with VW's for about 6 years now so this car is a big change for me. So far the car is ok, have a few things to fix but that is fine. Plans so far just include lowering the car and putting some BBS style wheels on it. I also plan the paint the inside of the lights black all around. Already fixed the hazing on the headlamps and fogs, what a difference.

And one of the IS

Thanks, yea i actually did that headlight mod a few years ago on my Jetta. Found out that if you use glad press and seal it works better than tape and paper.

Millenium Silver Metallic. Can't go wrong with that classic color for the IS300. I had one in the past too! Welcome.
