Talking I Got A Surprise!! (Updated with more picts, specs soon to come)

Well most of you know that my car has been in the shop for a very long long long time to do some audio work. So long that I was not able to take my own car to HIN and I had to borrow a new IS 250 on 19's from Kendall Lexus. I know what your thinking... Awww Poor me.. LOL (year right). Anyway on Dec. 29thof 2005 of course, I finally got my car back. The long waiting is over! The car came out great and I am very happy with the out come...

BUT!,... There is something I have to tell you guys. I didn't do the full audio system like I told everyone. I know, I know. WTF? Right? I have been patient for a while trying to decide when to do this and the time finally came. So without further delay, Here is my NOW BOOSTED!!! Lexus IS 300.


CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PICTURES I HAVE AT THE MOMENT

Here are just a few:














I will take some better pictures this week or maybe weekend once I clean it.

car looks nice, but how about two band clamps on the turbo inlet siicone for neatness and uniformity sake - I know its not needed but it looks like I cold just steal it if i walked by.

I hear ya. Actually I do have the clamps on there. That picture was taken before I added them. I am going to take new pictures this week or weekend once I clean it up.

That's what I was thinking. Looks damn good.

Who did the work? I'm trying to decide on either the IS or GS and would like to know places to look at for performance. I'm in S. Florida too.
