there is a guy up here in toronto with the exact same kit, but no wing and it looks awesome. He also lowered it and put some nice 19 inch Subaru coloured gold rims on it, looked very nice.

Sorry but the car has authentic C-West sides and rear bumper.
Dan chose the HippoSleek front because his future plans do include a turbo kit with a phat FMIC (Hence the reason he bought the HippoSleek full front bumper)

The wing also looks better than you think. You probably too used to seeing tasteless aluminum wings mounted from here to Cali and back. Rest assured he has a very clean authentic APR V-Spec Wing that mounts neater than anything i have seen. (I know cause it used to be mine )

The car looks nice all together.... if people could get past segmenting what they dont like and look at it as a whole you'd see why i think he has the hottest IS300 on the east coast.

For a guy who doesnt have a sponsor, a shop, or and endless supply of money.. hes doing alright in my book.

lol, no doubt! dan's ride is TIGHT!! im not a fan of the wing, but its a rear wheel drive and has plenty of purpose whether i like it or not. overall, his ride is pretty impressive, just needs some more power to equal the look.

WOW you guys seem to be getting C-West and Hippo SLeek sides confused. Those sides are not the C-West but the Hippo Sleek Side skirts or Area 51 side skirts. (I should kno b/c i have them) As for the front bumper thats the C-West full bumper replacement and the Eye lids im not sure which company made them. The C-West eyelids and Hippo Sleek eyelids are exactly the same.

C-West Kit


Hippo sleek kit

Hope this will clear up spme confusion.

BTW if anyone wants the AREA 51 sides and Rear apron i have them for sale. The Area 51 sides and rear are a copy of the Hippo Sleek kit. But made strong and more durable. The Sides and rear apron fit perfect. The rear apron has already been modified to fit US spec rear bumpers. So no hassel in trying to make it fit. These pieces are 100% Polyurathane and come with double sided sticky tape. If you are interested in the sides or rear please PM me.

Heres a pic of AREA 51 kit:
