Thought it was about time...
Hi All,
I bought my first IS300 about 6 months ago now and have been lurking on here, reading threads ever since. I wanted to hold off registering so that I'd have something other than a stock IS300 to show you all
Here she is...
Genuine GReddy Lip:
Climair window visors fitted (decided against Altezza ones):
Roof Spoiler, Debadge, TRD Rear skirt all fitted:
GReddy TI-C catback fitted:
Current wheels. Getting rid of them soon as I've got some Rays 57F Pro's to put on...
Also, excuse the ugly caliper and hub colour. Some monkeys at my local garage sprayed the whole sodding area fluorescent orange with a rattle can when all I wanted was the calipers done dark red
Some more pixx taken by my old man at the weekend:
Full specs are:
Brian Crower 264 Cams
AEM Cam Gear
Injen Intake w/ header heatshield and Hydroshield
Apexi Neo AFC
Cusco Front and Rear Tower Braces
BC Racing Coilovers
Circle Earth Kit
AAC CF Radiator plate
Various CF skinned parts (Di-Noc)
GReddy Racing Ti-C Cat back exhaust
GReddy Front Lip
Genuine TRD Rear Skirt
Tom's CF Stubby Antenna
Lots of engine bolts swapped for anno'd alu ones.
Dark Chrome rear lights
CWest eyebrows

Very nice man!
But you didn't have to wait to build your car up to introduce yourself.
Most of us started here with stock IS300's
What is "circle earth kit"
Love how clean your car and engine bay is! I'm jealous!
Oh and what roof spoiler is that? I want one!

I think you guys in the US might refer to the 'earth kit' as a grounding kit? Basically just grounds various points round the engine bay, throttle body, alternator...etc
The roof spoiler is an eBay one as it goes. I'm planning on changing it eventually as the fit isn't great, but it was something like £50 painted so I cant complain
Next step is a set of Rays 57F Pro's that I've been having refurbed...and I'm laying in wait for someone somewhere to sell an IS300 supercharger.

I noticed that your battery and brake reservoirs are swapped locations from US spec IS300s...I'm jealous that the abs is already away from the engine and that would make an engine swap that much easier...hint hint haha

I love this car! very clean and nice mods. I would love to have those wheels if you were getting rid of them

I'm probably going to settle for supercharging it instead as I can probably just about manage the install myself and there will be no massive hurry to tune it once its installed.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the nice comments. Great crowd here
Yes mate. Had brand new ones fitted a few months ago as I wanted them to be perfect for when I installed the eyebrows.
I think they may be slightly different to the USA ones though. We only have one indicator (turn signal) bulb in ours whereas I think you have two?
