Default Thank you Carson-Lex!!

It's been a long time since i've been an active member of CL, ...too long actually. I was just about to sell my IS (and possibly my S2000) to pick up something new (was looking into getting back into a Subaru), but after a few days at SEMA sanity prevailed, ...my how things can change. As I'm browsing the booths, I stopped by Tanabe, talked to my rep. He sells me on the new SSR VF-1's. At this point I decided the Lexus will stay at least another year. When I get back home I sclean and start looking for kits, ...something clean and simple. I'm amazed by how much there is now available for the IS, but I stick with what I know would match my theme of the car. Fabulous. I called a few places before remembering good ole' CL and thier sponsors. This is where I found (although i've been there before) L-Tunedparts.com. Needless to say, after a few minutes on the phone with Luis, I was handing over a CC#. Long story short, ...Luis was so very helpful, answered all of my tedious questions, took the time to show me where and how I was saving. And even recommended against a few products (for time being). I was appreciative of his honestly and overall customer service, ...enough so to make this thread.

Thank you Luis, ...and I look forward to another year on CL.

Greg

BTW - my Volk ME's will be up for sale as soon as the SSR's come in early nexxt year.
