Hahaha I'd so be down if things weren't so hectic. I'm leaving for med school in the Philippines next weekend May 5 so I've literally been running around trying to get things ready for my departure. Won't be back till April next year for "summer" break.

 

Congrats on medical school!

Car is looking simple and clean! How low are you from ground to fender or how low is your drop?

 

Car looks great. Nice work. On a bigger scale, congrats on getting into med school. What type of doctor do you plan on being?

 

Because of your mild drop, I actually prefer your car with the stock wheels. It looks clean and classy with the right subtle mods and is a great comprise for NY/NJ roads. Kind of wish I went in that direction so I didn't have to deal with all the headaches lol.

 

Nice car bro!! keep the mods going becuz I have GFM IS too! rare to see this color with modified man

 

Thanks! And to be honest i'm not sure. It definitely looks a lot lower now that i'm just on my OEM 17s. I asked my shop to drop it half an inch but that was measured at the coil and not on the fender so I'm pretty sure i'm dropped much lower than just a half inch.

 

Had a couple specialties in mind: Dermatology, Cardiology, OB/GYN, and Anesthesiology. All completely different from one another except for maybe the latter 2 which can both have a more surgical orientation. I'm keeping an open mind and waiting for rotations later on to help me narrow things down. I'm strongly gravitating to Dermatology though just because I've suffered skin issues all my life and now I kinda want to help others too that have gone through what I've been through.

 

Yeah, NY/NJ roads can be pretty brutal especially in the city. Every time I was invited somewhere or made plans I had to figure out which roads to take just so I wouldn't scrape as much haha. It is a bit of a headache but I get compliments so often I'm willing to suffer just a bit. Luckily my summer wheels were only on for a month so I just went with it for now.

I plan on doing more fender work and really heating up the fender liner to make sure it's as high as possible just so I don't rub. I noticed I only rub on the left side (probably due to my extra weight). Still need to resolve the bumper tab issue but for now I just left it be since i'm back to stock wheels.

 

Thanks man! Yeah, you don't see too many IS' modded here in my area and the few that are often times are poorly modded and cheapen up the look (extra chrome EVERYTHING, fake hood scoop, etc) but whatever floats their boat and makes them happy.

 

nice ride man
