Hey guys. Just recently joined the 2JZ family. Bought my IS Friday and couldn't be any happier with her. I figured that with me getting a little older and having a family, it was time to get a car a little more grown up. Hence the IS. My previous cars are RX-7, 240sx, and a GSX. Not too familiar with the IS, but hoping to learn from the site. Here are some pics.

I don't mind at all. Regarding the color and 5speed, I searched for about 4 months trying to find this exact combo. I'm rather picky. Still needs a few exterior TLC (new coat of wax, good wash), but I am in love with it.

Thanks everyone for being so welcoming.

I'm off to work now, but when I get back home tonight I will search for some. I'm almost positive I still have 'em.

I couldn't find any of my FC, but here is a few of my S14 and TSi AWD






The pics of the Talon are when I first picked her up. The 240sx pics are near the end of her time with me. I didn't quite get to do what I wanted with either, both were kinda gone without warning due to mech failure.
