Default Albert's L-Tuned IS300 Thread *UPDATED*

05.25.11 UPDATED

Oops, forgot I had this thread on here...usually I'm over at the my.is forums...

Anyhoos, I just copied over my thread over from my.is. and bumped this thread up =)

It has been about 10 years since the L-Tuned IS300 came out, and it still turns heads today. Classic styling :P

Enjoy!

as for the tails, i decided to with the SportDesign tails which are tinted a blue-ish chrome...everyone usually goes with the JDM black chrome tails, i decided to be a little different and a little more rare/unique

as for go fast goodies, i decided to keep it simple; i went with a JoeZ intake and a Tanabe Touring Medallion catback exhaust =)

but all in all, thanks everyone for the comments!! much appreciated! =)
