Default 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




At Pursuit last year




Back to stock and about to be haul away



The new ride
350 F-Sport Ultra White w/ red interior.



Current mods:
Complete LED Interior Lighting
Takeda Intake
Xperl Clear Bra

Upcoming mods:
Wheels was ordered (hopefully it will be here mid may)
Struts and bags should be in this week if not by the end of next week and will be install with the accuair management that I had in my 2is.
Black roof
JDM fog lights
Debating between lexon and aimgain for kits

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

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