Default New Owner Pittsburgh 04 Sport Design

Hey guys I have wanted an IS since I was 13 years old. Someone totaled my last car so I thought why not I am going for it. I found a 2004 Sport Design with only 62,000 on her. I drove from Pittsburgh to Philly just to buy and pick her up. I am looking for all weather floor mats as I live in the northeast. I am really excited can finally have an IS of my own to mod. I am open to suggestions about where I should start! I posted some photos for you all to see! Can't wait to hear from everyone!

Incredibly clean! Only bad I can see is that it's auto, but that can always be fixed..

Thanks guys, I couldn't pass it up. I don't mind the auto right now with the amount of traffic and hills I drive on. But maybe down the road that would change.

I purchased my all weather mats from Costco. cheap price great quality and durability. only problem is the rears that dont fit well.

I think there were only 3000 or so sport-design packages.

Is there a guide to install an aftermarket radio anywhere with the parts I will need?

Great find! Congrats on the pick up.

Interior looks well maintained.

I would suggest a nice set of springs or coil overs to start.
