UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 7

Thanks for looking !!

very very nice my friend

Love the way its coming along, Looking good :thumbup:

Epic build. Your car looks really good! Hopefully I'll get to see it at a fnm sometime soon.

Wow... amazing

P.s. I still can't believe your on 18's. You've pull it off amazing.

Car looks great. Love the rims and the color contrast of the white rims and blue color of the IS.

Keep us posted with new pics.

thanks! i actually went to the FNM about two weeks ago! maybe you werent there? hahaha and yeah i dont think im gonna be on 19s for a while or ever.. lolol

thanks im loving it too.

:thumbup:

thanks!!

thanks!! i feel it getting boring tho! i need a new inspiration..

Looks awesome! And those wheels are really 18's? Nice.

Any reason why you went with Invidia midpipes vs Megan's? I have the GReddy's also and looking for a midpipe setup.

:thumbup:
very nice job!!!
i still wanna get that rear diffuser cause of you!

i went with the invidia because it doesnt have the secondary cats! my greddy sp elite is really quiet so i wanted a more aggressive midpipe to make it louder :D

you should get it! hahah i dont mind since you aint in california LOL

So sexy. :D That diffuser is really nice. :thumbup:

Some super high quality pics

tastefully done sir!

Great pictures on IS. You should make teaser video of your car or 4min full video. :):thumbup:

Great build, I like how it's turning out!
