Default Progress.....

I picked up a steal of a deal on my IS350 in march, it was completely stock and looked like it had been treated rough by the previous owner but its loaded with sport package,cooled seats,HID's and nav. i think the only option it doesnt have is ML.
Since ive owned it ive cleaned it up and blacked out the emblems/grill with plastidip,painted the calipers black, added a spoiler,lip,intake,Black G-spider rims and had it painted. Ive also done small stuff like 3K HID fogs,6k headlights,NOKYA 3500k highbeams,LED city lights and had the dealer turn off the DRL's. I still have a few more things id like to do like LED tails and some H&R springs.

When i got it....









A few crappy iphone pics i took today.......

















** I TOOK THE PLASTIC OFF TO CLEAN IT AND SHOW THE INTAKE**

Ebay special.... Iwanted the WALD replica but something happened to the seller cause it went from $100 to $1000 overnight for a week then it was removed completely.....i didnt have time to wait and see if it came back i had already scheduled my car to be in the body shop so i went with this because it looked like it went with the car.

Thanks guys!! I found out the hole was a bullet hole that entered where the hole is and departed right above the headlight at the hood seam skimming along inside..... i think the previuous owner was in some kinda police chase.

Hard to be sure but looks like it also didn't have PCS or headlamp washers (which are the two rarest options)...XM would be the only other option an 06 might lack but impossible to tell from the pics.... (FYI- HIDs and cooled seats are part of the sport package, so no need to list em out once you mention sport package).

Anyway, excellent job on cleaning up the car... was a really gorgeous SC you had too, I love RSP.
