Default New look for the drift ****

After about a year of the car looking beat to ****, and nearly a year following that of the car just taking up space on my driveway I finall got my *** in gear and starting fixing it... It still needs some work, but it's looking good and back out getting the crap beat out of it, so I'm happy.

The wheels are 17x10 +15 and 18x10 +15... Just pulled the fenders a bunch, and left the camber at about -3 to-4 all around.

I miss your AME FS01 set up. I love the clean trunk no "L" badge and no rear spoiler.

Not too many red IS300, but this one shows it off very well all the time.

I don't like it either simply because its larger than the L-tune, RMM, and TRD side skirts. In other words it looks disproportionate in size compared to the side skirts.

or wait, are you talking about the trunk rear lip spoiler look?

I'd like to see videos too.
