Hey guys,

I am a new member from the Northwest Chicago suburbs. I have a 2006 IS350 that I bought in Philadelphia in August. I have been looking around on here since before I even bought the car but haven't posted at all. Im a college student, and I wanted to get something reliable to get me to and from school.

I have done some lighting mods, and installed an F-Sport lower filter box and filter yesterday. My Joe-Z intake should be shipped already. Other than that I have pretty much only hardwired my Valentine 1. The car did come with a front lip, and a carbon fiber rear lip, that I would assume is a replica wald lip.

Im looking to do some coilovers, new wheels, and and exhaust. I will try to keep it to just those things.

My other car is an E36 M3 coupe with aftermarket wheels, and Eisenmann Race exhaust, Recaro Pole Postion seats in black leather w/ Alcantara and white stitching, KW Coilovers and some other small modifications.

Cool! I think you picked a nice color as well.

Maybe get the side skirts too later on since you got a front lip and rear lip already?

Sorry meant a trunk lip spoiler Wunko. I was thinking of getting a GFX rear lip or something, maybe after an exhaust but Im not sure. I have to get a new bumper put on, so I might mold something on. Someone backed into me, hit and run in a parking lot. I watched it happen, and watched them leave but I got the plate number.

Here's one picture of my M3. My best non-camera phone shot, but I photoshopped the wheels I was buying and put some red Brembos behind it for fun.
