oh wow you have the black woodtrim. I have always thought this was the best looking trim and yet to see it on an IS yet
|
Always loved ur car. Looks sick.
Question tho, I wanna make/get a thicker steering wheel... is urs any thicker than oem? If so where'd you get?? |
Crazy going back and making a thread like this huh? I just did the same, always been a fan Josh. :thumbup: still hoping to see you at Pursuit 4 this year (unless you'll be at Wekfest, think it's same weekend). Don't go too much crazier, I like to try and keep up ;)
