Saying Hello to CL!
What's up everyone, I normally am not too big on forums but I recently joined My.is and I figured I might as well start posting here as well. Anyways my name is Austin and I'm from Washington State. I drive a 02 AR IS300 that I've owned for a little over a year now. It's gone over quite a change in the past year from stock to where it sits now.
When I first got her, all stock.
First I picked up a Altezza 3-Bar grill and ordered Stance GR+ Coils (which were back-ordered and took 3 months to finally get them... )
First night after installing coils maxed out, Tuckin' 17's like a bawss. Couldn't even turn though lol.
Kind of a big jump, but After having my coilovers for a month or two I picked up a Greddy V-spec lip and I was able to barrow my friends Work XT7's for a few weeks until I picked up my own.
Finally picked up my set of wheels, I know they're just battles but still, they are one of my favorite wheels regardless. Also they are a whole lot better than running stockies... haha
After my wheels I decided to go vertex + wald kit wise.
Although I loved the look I only had my sideskirts for about a week before I lost one of them on the freeway from hitting something... :/ which happened about two weeks ago. But on the bright side I did manage to get a few pictures.
And lastly, before I put my car away for the winter, I brought it out for the NW Toy drive Run to donate toys for kids / car meet down at PGP in Washington. I have a lot of changes coming along for the spring

Nice shots!! I-90 tunnel and speeding (kidding) on the 520 bridge going east. Looks like you had a lady companion in there too!
Is that even street legal? The roads and parking ramps around the area could get you in a bad way here.

Haha yeahh.. I really have to watch where I drive :/ the transition on I-90 East from bridge to freeway I almost lost my bumper on.. And I'm pretty sure it is street legal. I don't really know the low laws I guess you could call it lol. But I haven't had any troubles for my car being low by police.

Thanks guys! and I actually sold the battles a few weeks ago... New set-up coming soon for the spring.
I don't know if I wrote anything or not about my sideskirts, but I lost one on the freeway due to hitting a raised road turtle. Then it kind of just exploded because it was made of fiberglass...
And the battles were 17x9.5 +15 squared set-up!
