Yea definatly I looked for 7months to find that color n no luck so after that I stumbled upon my 03 msm 1is which had two owners before me and had all maintiance records from north park lexus so it has also been a san antonio car couldn't pass it up. How much did urs cost if u don't mind me asking.. dealer or privite sell?

That's cool too, will is the real deal tho I mean having the same shop open for over 11yrs in sa should say enough .. sa doesn't have a big import support just a bunch of high school honda guys that like to swap parts like. There a damn pair of shoes then steal or mess up other guys rides when they get jealous I'm sure u agree...

I'll do a mid sized single turbo and the trans mods to support 400-450ish, perhaps a stall... Eventually, at least... Aside from that, I'll prolly do some 17x7.5 front / 17x8.5 or 9 rears with 225/45 front / 255/40 rears... keep it stockish height, undecided if I'll do coilovers, though if I do, not for the lowering factor (.5" if anything)... As much as I've done to cars in the past, this one is going to stay as stock looking as possible inside, out and under the hood... to the point where someone that wasn't super familiar with the IS's would look at it and say thats the way it comes from the factory...
I actually like the stock wheels so much that if I could find a set of stock 8.5" wheels for the rear, I'd do those with the Sportcross 7.5" wide wheels for the front...

Wow I love that color. I even Like the tan suede....I'm jealous haha. Congrats on the pick up, I'll be following this build forsure. I agree with the sleeper look you want, the IS already looks good maybe a front lip?

WOW! thats a clean car man. Best color ever and the interior looks immaculate!
Try the 3M kit on the headlights. I just did mine and it worked really good. I used a blue coral polish i think it was afterwards and really made them gleam again.
