Default New Guy, Is300

So I got my IS for free. I traded my 02 Honda CR-V RT4WD, all I had to pay was the 78$ to transfer my tags.
I did this 4 months ago, and have done a little bit to my car since then.
Things I screwed with:
Megan Racing coilovers w/32 way damper
SRT CAI
SRT valve body, and 3rd gear sprag
Lsd swap out of a 02 IS300
Drilled and slotted rotors
18 inch TRD Camry wheels
Misc bulbs and lenses to clean up the grandma effect of the cheap bulbs

New wheels, haa, those are new, it had POS velocity wheels on it before, the were bent, and very ugly, so i opted for something I have only seen once, I will not lie, the wheels look like they belong on a tc, but for the price, and factory fitment, I decided to go with them until I save the money for some TE37's, Ill keep yall posted as i work on it

I do not like VIP personally, but I do respect the work it takes to get a car VIP, just not my style.

I just did the headlight mod, gonna do the same for my tail's too but I have been denied use of the oven for life, if it fits in the oven, then its OK to put it in there right? I was sitting on the floor watching the oven like there was cookies in it or something. But I got great results
