Default Our New IS

So I've been on the forum for a bit, y wife and I owed a 1995 Sc400 with an autocultoure front and vertex sides and rear, with black 20" motto rims. Last week we traded it in for a 2001 IS 300 with 130k on the dash, in Absolutely Red.

Stock pics:




I had pair for Racing hart Cr's sitting at the house so we put them on.
19x8.5 ET 39 225 30 front 19x10.0 ET 43 265 30rear in Gunmetal gray.






I know I know It's needs a drop bad but hey I think were in goo shape for one having it for not even a week.
