And yeah that's me in the IS at RiceKillers. I hate seeing the car in pictures because it doesn't depict how low she really is.

Oh BTW, heres a little story for everyone! Since I just lowered the car, I needed an alignment. Even though the steering wheel was straight, and the car went straight letting go of the wheel, I knew there was still a need to get the alignment done. Waited a week, then went to Imola Motorsports since I knew from all my time spent around there that they had an alignment rack. Well, went there tuesday afternoon, waitd 2 hours....then they came back and said they got it as close as possible but due to seizing of the tie rod ends & the need for camber plates/kit, they werent able to get it perfect, but as close as possible. Well I'm like, no big, I'm pretty sure its not a huge problem. Well I get in the car, jump on 169 and the steering wheel is now slightly off. Not a huge amount but not perfect. Then I noticed that between 50-60 mph the wheel shakes pretty hard, like you can feel it in your seat. Damn. So I call up Imola tell them what happens and they are like, dude we tryed our best, the parts are seized. So I call, Jeff, the alignment guy who is Bloomington to get his opinion....We'll see what he has to say. Lets just hope for the best...

Thought about it until my friend recieved his "Type R" Lip for his civic which is the one I was looking at because I think it keeps the clean look of the IS300. My whole goal for the car is to make it stand out to the car people, not to the world. Pretty much keep it clean and the type R style does that, and I just happen not to be a fan of the other styles. IMO.

But I heard that tint shops won't do anything under 50% now cause of the new law, unless you have an prescription saying so.

Spotted a black IS-F with black wheels on 494 heading south bound, that douche in the silver Hyundai (in front of u) was a *****, dood was on his phone and wouldn't merge over. I was in my white 2011 Honda Pilot when u'd pasted by.
