Default Finally got an IS300!

I've wanted an IS300 for a very long time and I couldn't pass this one up.

It's a 02', Intensa Blue Pearl, 5spd.

Has Altezza Grill, Smoked headights, Smoked fogs, Ground Control Coil-Overs, Altezza tail lights and GReddy Ti-C Exhaust.

Future plans, 2JZ swap (Single turbo), Wheels (18x8.5- 18x9.5), RRM/TRD Lip? and OEM Trunk Spoiler, Koni Yellows, Altezza Headlights and finish it up with all black interior swap!

Thanks boss!

I've seen the DIY, I like the Amber more though! Maybe when i get a In-Dash Nav i'll switch it up. I just think it looks super out of place with my Amber Climate Control and green/blue head unit lol

Special going on right now and it's the best price I've seen. Hotchkis sways...best bar out there for 1st gen IS...IMO.

Here's the link on the details, only 4 sets left. This is night and day difference and will pair up nicely with your coilovers.

Thanks man, I'm big into suspension and brakes. All my cars always had a decent set-up.

My last project was a 00 Si, NSX Big brake setup, Full Function/Form coils, LCA's, Tie bar, Sways, Braided steel lines, Motul Fluid etc.. I loved it.
