Default Update of my car

I have not posted a update about my car in a while, the big change is it has been lowered, but here are some other small changes, list of mods and current pics listed below.

Performance: K&N fipk intake

Suspension: Tokico illumina adjustable shocks
Road magnet lowering springs, a 1.5 inch drop
Hotchkis rear sway bar( front still needs to go on)

Wheels/Tires: TSW 17x7 wheels, black with a red pinstripe
Kumho ectsa tires

Visual: Altezza front bumper, got hit by a deer and this was cheaper then the oem one
TRD carbon fiber grille with no badge
Painted the calipers red
Lexus license plate holders
Custom red and white pinstripe, on the car when I bought it used and I have not seen another IS300 with it.
Custom VA license plate "GGP IS3"

Recent pics taken on trip to the Florida keys.

I don't understand how that car can be that blacked out and still have chrome fogs and headlights.

Respectfully I disagree with you about the pinstripe. I have never seen another IS300 with it, so that makes my car more unique and when I go to shows it is the one thing I always get great comments about.




This pic is the best example, taken in spring before the lowering springs. With the car just detailed you can see how the red pinstipe, goes with the red pinstripe on the wheels, and the painted red calipers. I just feel the red accents look really great with the GGP paint.
