Silec's 3IS Build Thread
 
Long story short, got rear ended 2 months back and my 2is was totaled. Dealing with the other party's insurance was a nightmare, finally settled 3 weeks ago and went car shopping.


Picked up my new 350 Fsport yesterday after a few weeks of waiting

My 2IS

Sorry to hear about your 2IS but the 3IS is AMAZING!! Can't wait to see how this thing comes along and good color choice btw :D #UltraWhiteGang

Also, where did you get the CF? If you don't mind posting here or PM'ing me that would be great!

TheShaddix was the one that gave me the idea of doing the overlay, I purchase it from the same seller he got it from.

glad everything worked out with insurance, etc. didn't know you started a new build already :thumbup: excited to see the new progression :)

Amazing looking 2IS. I'm sure your 3IS will look as sick as your old 2IS :)

Those wheels on your 2IS were sick! Whats the make and spec on those? Thanks.
