Hey guys I just wanted to introduce myself and share a few pictures. My name is Sean and I've long been a Toyota die hard with my money pit being a 2nd gen turbo MR2. I most recently picked up a 2002 5speed IS as my daily and I love it.

Edit:does anyone know of someone selling an srt intake, preferably black?

I love that color IS man all you need now is a drop and that car would be set!

Love the red, try the equips on the IS yet?

nice! i like!!! what do you have done to the mr-2?

did you cut off that one part that goes up on your lip? cant really tell from the pictures.

Yeah the color is pimp u goona boost it?? Like the MR2!!!

Like the MR2... been looking in to them lately good platform... will take quite a bit to make the IS compete though...

Yeah thanks guys. Red was actually my second choice to a pearl white one but I couldn't pass up the deal and am actually very pleased with the decision. As for the lip on the IS being cut, I am not sure what your referring too. It was on the car when I purchased it.

As for the equips. The offset and size is 17x8+12 and 17x9.5+23 so my research leads me to believe they will not fit without a serious roll and camber.

Now to the MR2. It is a fully built Jdm gen 3 3sgte currently awaiting a full race 30r setup. Bcbr suspension, 98 spec all around except wing, advanced keys lexus oem push start smart key entry, etc.

Lastly I don't plan on boosting the IS as much as I would love to. Maybe just an srt intake and an hks axle back will suffice. 450+whp Mr2 will be enough power for me on the weekend/track days. Lol

Welcome to the forum. I'm digging red IS300s, but I found a great pearl white.

oh haha on the inside inbetween the lower grill and fog lights do you have the part that goes up?
ive been wondering what itd look like without it.

I actually don't have that piece. Hmm. What is the brand of your lip?

idk some ebay brand but all the amuse replica lips should be the same. theres a ton that just popped up from different makers on ebay. before, only one person sold it.

I just took another look and it looks as though the PO had the body shop that painted the lip cut that portion of it off before paint. I would have never noticed had you not pointed that out. I actually like this look comparing to a standard amuse now that I see the difference. It gives it a cleaner look. Cut yours :-P
