Hey..
Im still basically a noob here since I got my IS on February 29.. its 2008,
already had the GFX kit when I bought it so I just recently added the roof spoiler from OEM.Thing and just yesterday got some GIOVANNA KILIS 20X8.5 20X10 F +38 R +42... heres a few shots from today..
3 yrs later, just traded it in for a USB ISF, now looking for new mods for it..
So any help would be greatly appreciated
2nd yr of ownership
3rd yr

Nice ride. Just like mine. I have OEM wheels tho. What's next? Visors, led side mirrors/covers etc. Are you the only one here representing Puerto Rico? How many more IS owners are there with you.
Keep up the good work

jajaj Thanks..
because of the streets here I think I'll only get the F-Sport spring
even though everybody here prefers coils..
the original owner put 245 30 20 front tires & rear 275 30 20 so at stock height its rubbing a lil bit dont wanna think if I lower it
don't really seem to be many 2nd Gen Owners with mods here in PR or at least that I know of
Im thinking LED 2012's and upper F-Style Grill

you'll be happier with coils. not sure why people think they have to "slam it" if they get them. It'll be more cost effective in the long run. plus the option of lowering and dampening, hell throw coils on at f-sport spring height, at least you can change it when your not happy with it months down the road. save yourself that spring/shock $$$ vs just going to coils and saving a step. do it ONCE and do it RIGHT

jaja Thanks everyone
You make a great point on the coils so I should probably do some thinking and see which route I take
The brakes are tiny as hell.. but don't see any big brake kit any time soon lol
Ive been told a LOT.. Careful with the Front Wheel Assembly or Drive Train because of the harsh ride and pot holes..
Have you guys had to change a lot of shocks/struts, pressure plates, discs or any major tune up do to bigger rims? Thanks in advance
