Man, what are you doing in the 2IS side of CL
Get back to the IS300 forums!

I'm already biased though, I suppose. There has only been very few VIP styled IS's on this forum that I like. Otherwise, I don't like this car as a VIP format; I rather prefer it be a little more angular, aggressive, and "tuner" inspired... but not to where it changes to body lines of the car too much....

What I do like about this car is the drop is pretty nice as well as the side skirts. I really like how he painted the side skirts. Looks very nice! The grill is growing on me too... slowly.

Either way, thanks for sharing pictures!

after reviewing this thread again, and seeing more negative comments then I thought I would, I have to laugh...

in another thread, this IS was votest as the 'best' or 'sexiest' on the forum... now the negative comments stroll in, lol... its just funny.

I think its one of the most highly modded IS's here, no doubt. Everything is done to it, other then boost.

I guess the people who said its the 'best on the forum' are of the mindset that "the more mods you do, the more 'best' you are". Even though they don't flow quite well, or completely alter the car, taken by the comments of 'idenity crisis' others have said.

I guess I just don't get it. And I guess by now you can see I don't feel this is the "best on the forum", for reason others have mentioned.

I'll say its cool and way different, but I would never do this to my car.

I guess thats what makes us all different an unique though.

Not feeling the lip kit, too much going on, but definitely one unique 2IS.

Front bumper looks like first generation CLK or Chrysler Sebring, not feeling it- sorry.

i guess its spot on if your going for the VIP look though... but that, i'm not a fan of either

but whatever, just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt.
don't you have chrome wheels too?
