What kind of mods are you looking for?

Cosmetic wise, there are tons of body kits, lip kits, and what nots. Performance wise, bunch of bolt on parts. ETC, ETC, ETC...

If you want to do a quick mod, the DRL Mod is free and easy. And the throttle cable spacer mod is cheap and easy.

Try search/looking around is.net, and if you have other alittle more detailed questions, I'll try to help you out

 

Okay thanks...whats the DRL Mod?? and what does the throttle cable spacer and the DRL do?? Thanks

 

DRL = Daytime Running Lights (your highbeams with half the power).

DRL Mod gets rid of the DRL, meaning no more ugly yellow lights when your headlights are not turned on.

TCS Mod get rid of the spring compression on your throttle cable. If you look by your gas pedal, the wire going up to the firewall has a little spring with a plastic bushing attach to it. Just use those large zip ties or a spacer from a RC car shocks, to keep the spring from compressing on the cable.

 

You can also do the easy fog mod (allows you to have the fog lights on independent of the headlights) which is pretty popular. It compliments the DRL mod.

I'd suggest lowering the car and adding sways as a first mod. The stance looks more aggressive after lowering and the car becomes MUCH more fun to drive.

Happy modding!

 

yea, those 3 mods are on my immediate list ... lights 1st (I think that's probbly easier) then lowering ... I'll post pics after I've done them.

 

Painting your calipers and doing drilled & cross slotted rotors isnt too expensive, or hard to do, and really looks good.

Window tint makes a big difference in the look of the car too.

Cat-back exhaust is a bolt on, and around 300-400 bucks depending what you get.

 

I've got tint, race grill @ spoiler

I think a spoiler of some kind is a deffinate must

 

eh~ cross drilled rotors tend to crack, but if you want something that will look cool, i guess you can get them....

 

I like the sound of the DRL, where can i find one??

So you want to get DRL for your IS300???

If so it comes standard...

If you want to disable it:

You unplug that thing.
