Default New here, saying Hi!

I bought my '02 IS300 about a year ago. It had an Injen Intake, HR headers and a VIS CF Hood when I got it. Since then I have been replacing parts that were hacked up as the car was not cared for in the same way I intend.

My additions to the car have been:

-Tein CS Coilovers
-19" Ro_ja F-1's
-TRD Underbraces (Front and Rear)
-TRD Rear Strut Tower
-Ebay Front Strut Tower (waiting on Tein to make one)
-StopTech SS Brak Lines
-Drilled and Slotted Rotors
-Painted Calpiers (w/ Decals)
-Painted Headlights and Fogs

I have aspirations that far exceed my income so we will see what I end up accomplishing with this one. Here's some pic's, let me know what you think.

Your list looks good.

Don't like the all CF hood. Don't care who's car, just don't like them. Looks like ya got in a wreck and stuck a black hood on it. Never cared for them. Some two tone paint cf hoods look decent.
