Nice battle scars.

Evidence that you "Survived the 25".

Also props go out to Mike who came out from Colorado to be a part of your team.

Mike is better know as FIGS Engineering. He's the guy how sells all the kool Lexus suspension parts, A-arms etc .

I didn't know how brutal that race is.
We're pretty stoked here about this car and the accomplishment it went through.
Everyone involved from beginning to end went far beyond expectations.

Here's your very own Hoovey2411 with two of our own lovely ladies Brittney and Becky taking a photo-op in front of the car.

Also, here's a link to a list of modification used on the IS250 AWD.
