Default Crappy IS300 Drifty Race Mobile

Got a little feature of my car and photos on Stance Nation, figured I'd share... Yes its all beat up, it's nothing special, and it may not be most people's cup of tea, but you can't win them all.

For more pictures and a video you can check out the feature here:

AJ you are late in posting your own pics. I have already seen these on Canibeat forums in the Toyota/Lexus/Scion thread. Nice ride, you are always different with how you show your car off and that is awesome.

You will see mine shortly which is very similar to yours, sorry.

The red tails looks good with the car. It's a nice match. They don't look like overlays....did you paint the inside?

Your car looks good as usual. You drift it, so bumpers and ish tend to get beat on. One thing though..how is it you never got a rear lip?

Well I could have posted them a week ago, but I figured I'd wait until stance nation put them up.

All the lights on the car have Lamin-x on them... If you use the expensive overlays and take your time applying them you get a very good result.

I'm still torn on a rear lip... I like the car as it is, and can't make up my mind on what to do out back.

Plus I haven't put any money into this car in months because I'm building this:

Oh dang....looks legit. See...I got my red outs from Aerotect and it wasn't cheap. Mine was really hard to work with...super thick but came out to a darker red. I like it but I like yours because you can see the inside more.

It's a 325, I just swapped trunks to get rid of the 3rd brake light... I'm going from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder, haha.

Yeah, the lamin-x was a pain to work with as well. Were your stock tails the regular chrome or dark chrome?

Ahhh ok cool. I also forgot you had the C-West rear. The new project looks interesting.

It'll sit further back, lower, and weigh less. Then there's also that it'll have better oil pan clearance, make about 100whp more on a stock motor, get better gas mileage, etc.
