So this is what the 3IS hype is about!!!

After long over due delays I've decided to take my modding talents to the 3IS section...over the last 2 years I've been modding my 2IS and then decided time for an upgrade and see what the hype was all about and I must say I'm really impressed so far!!!

I picked up a Silver Lining Metallic F-Sport with Rioja Red interior. Omg that red is amazingly beautiful....I got a few plans to change up over the next few weeks...anyways time for pics

My old setup

youll quickly notice the stiffer chassis, the more comfortable ride yet better handling. 2IS feels so harsh compared to the 3IS and it handles worse. Interior is way better, especially the seats. You should be able to transfer a lot of parts over from the 2IS.

I stopped modding so I seldom go into the classifieds anymore.

That's odd. Should just be simple plug and play with the exception of getting a rear bracket. 4GS owners weren't having any issues putting 2IS/3GS F-Sport BBK onto their cars

Congrats on your new ride! Just curious, how many miles did the car have when you picked it up? I am shopping for red interior in SoCal. White with red to be exact. Maybe 3 available now? 2 have 65 miles!? Kids joy riding them all day long without buying?
