I have been known on occasion to post some rather stirring remarks myself, though...mostly about Chris Bangle of BMW.

How's your IS300 doing......that is the white one with the black wheels, right ?
Oh I gotcha.

Yep its the white one with the dark wheels, and it's doing great! Thank you for asking!

You're experience may have been okay before...but it wont be long before you get screwed. The company itself has had a bad rep here and elsewhere. Buyer beware. As for the color dash kit they're selling, you can buy those caps at your local Autozone and do it yourself.

it's ok, they still got the gas light to tell when the gas is REALLY low

By the time the gas level is THAT low, you probably won't need the light.......the fuel pump will be sucking air going around sharp corners and over bumps and the coughing engine will let you know.
And then, oh joy.....time for an EXPENSIVE fill-up.

Seriously, thanks for the web site. I was finally able to check it out. As you know from my previous posts, I'm generally not a big fan of aftermarket stuff, but I'm going to seriously consider this package. Not that there's anything wrong with the stock orange dash lights, but the blue looks especially nice....VW really started something with that.

I just did, went very very smoothly, ordered today and shipped out today... Can’t complain about that. Ordered the RMM front lip and clear bumper lenses. Let you know when I recieve them how the entire process went, but, so far so good. Excellent.

Probably some. but most of us that know and have met/seen Steve at many meets wouldn't even waste time to talk to the guy. If you knew what he's about and what his business practices and history are about...you would understand our standpoint. Other than that, buyer beware. BTW, he is banned on both ClubLexus and IS300.net FYI. That's gotta tell you something.

actually, if you have the right resources, you can get them for about 25 cents each so it would be like $2
