Default Finally found a black IS300!

After months of searching and a tight budget, I finally found a 02 IS200 with 106k miles, Lowered on H&R springs/Kyb Struts, Viper alarm, Alpine radio, Beamer speakers, and a fresh tune up.

And before you guys ask, the wheels are BUICK wheels, yes, BUICK.

Idk which Buick, but if anyone can point that out it'd be nice, they all are in good cond w/ new Bridgestone Turenza's on them, I think they make for a nice set of winter wheels. And yes, the red calipers must go soon. I'll be painting them black w/ white lettering, maybe. Brakes do need to be bled though. Car also needs both 02 sensors, both of which I picked up while looking for an I/S. Plans just include a thorough detailing consisting of a buff/wax and more, 6K headlights/fogs, Tein Super Streets, Altezza 3bar grill, Tints all around including win shield, Installing my Kenwood double din, and finally a set of wheels, I'm not sure which I/S it was, but there was one on Stanceworks, black with orange CR kai's, if anyone can link me that, it'd be nice, I looked, but no luck. Anyways, thanks for reading.

Thanks guys, I forgot to mention this is my third IS300, and i've had an SC300 and two Cressida's before. My last IS300 was an 01 MSM silver which i kept for a week before realizing i hate MSM silver+01's for the small features it lacked from an 02.





Yes that's my friends I/S, he lurks here too.

And my first I/S was an 02 pearl blue which I miss dearly after i was in a near life threatening accident in,







Let's just say I'm very happy to be alive and respect/value these cars alot more then the average person. Oh and this latest I/S, along with the rest of them were bought with the intent to daily while I work on my project,
My KA-T S13,

First interior mod, ditch the 2 week old Alpine unit the car had, and put in this brand new Kenwood unit I bought months ago after finding it for a deal. Navi/dvd//touch screen along with a million other features i can't pronounce or use.
