my wald spoiler came in, so i gotta get that painted and now im gonna get headers next...

also debating betweeen wald and tom kit right now
Nice! would be great to meet you and can roll along with us here in HTX...yes youll love the headers, makes the car to me 20 percent"more driveable" due to wider power band, and just make our 5.0 sound like a true built block..without cats and resonators help a bit as well...but lookin amazing

Love the lip on the SSRs, what offsets are you running? Is that Tiffany blue? I wish we can get that lip without having to stretch that badly. 245 on 10.5 kills grip and handling, but the stance looks awesome.

cause honestly i dont track the car...i came from a vip airbagged gs, i was debating on swapping a 2jz into it but i figured it was time to upgrade...i just needed a 4 door sedan to cruise the town in but neeeded alot more power...it was either is350 or is-f i just went ahead and got the is-f to be more exclusive since i never see any is-f....just needed a cruiser with alot of power behind it...

if i ever wanted to track all i gotta do is swap back to stocks, and raise the car up, i could take care of that in an hr tops.

Yea bro, I had friend at lexus clear lake install them, and was well worth it.

Im not to sure the reason, even though its clealy opinions, why the fact if you "slam" your car you guysbeleive it totally ruins the car if it is spec'd for our use?? .. Interesting fact afterI slammd mineilledmy wheels for 2mm of fender clearanc on the HAAS 5 axis at work, etc, my F is much more stable a high speed, and I mean 169 MPH high speed no shake and it is much more glued aerodynamically (I have made approx. 20+ approaches at this speed after suspension change etc)...agan we are not talking so much track spec...but aerodynamically and for looks the car actually handles quite well in this configuration... I "feel" many of you, just MY opinion lol, are ASSuming before you actually collect data and make assertions from such..But, again to each his own and completely understand if you dont like.....Im glad many of you dont live in houston, not saying doesnt go on anywhere else, but, here we slam everything. As a matter o fact my friend just received a Gallardo from his parents as graduation present, and last weekend I gladl helped him lower his factory coilovers..lol...and many owners regardless of trac background etc ended up doing the same...Thats why I love human nature so many views and opinions on different styles just interesting.. good thing we have options I guess..

Yea they do work hard and he does deserve it lol..dad is a dentist with a few practices, and he just finished engineering degree ahead of me so I give him credit. Not that race matters by any means but he is Indian and they religiously value education. his father is a great influence as well as my own so I see why he promised what he did..
