Default Polimar's Toms Is300

so Kattan3 came down to dubai this weekend and although we didnt manage a photoshoot of our cars i did manage to get some pics of the local agents (POLIMAR) for TOMS IS300.
The car ahs the complete toms body kit as well as the toms exhaust, all the chassis braces and last but not least the Advox Coil over setup

Since i was last there he painted his wheels a matte gun metal color, he matched this by painting his exahsut the same matte color. same with the toms logo on the back, check below for the pics

on a side note: They are working on a GS that is already kitted out wtih the complete toms kit , exhaust , brace kit chassis etc but has a customized purple interior, that is actually quite sick looking despite the color. Ill try and get pics of that later.

The silver looks pretty shiny to me...

Also noticed he blacked out the chrome trim around the windows, nice.

yea its a special matte paint by polimar called alushine, they describe it as having an alluminium finish, the GS looks more of a matte look than the IS but could be cause it was indoors. The paint job is ridiculously expensive, almost the price of the car.

Yea he blacked out the Chrome trim as well as painted the chrome trim round the grill silver to match the car. same with the IS300 on the back.

I like it! The finish on the exhaust looks good with the dark area of the rear kit.

The silver does not look matte at all though.

Yea that was one sweet ride, the silver paint did not look very special to me but maybe that's because i was all overwhelmed by the wheels and blacking out the chrome trims on the windows frames!!! looked very unique, in a good way - and i am hard to please. I would have done some parts differently but this car turns heads any day.

As for the GS, the interior color was not my cup of tea but you cannot dismiss the quality of the job. The interior material used was a combo of leather and something similar to suede (probably even fancier!) and the diamond patterns on the seats and doors reminded me of exotic Italian cars, absolutely exquisite and insane. Now i wanna do mine in black leather/suede combo with red or white stitching! Probably can even improve the insulation with foams/sheets etc

psst... ndk, how much did the GS interiorjob cost?

what do you mean pics dont do justice? the car in person is TRASH!

- L emblems painted same as the body color, while the "IS300" emblem is still chromed, and the "TOM's" is matte black
- Matte Black tom's exhausts, WTF
- The kit is not installed properly, too much gaps and I can see the tape
- Wheels kinda boring, because of the matte color
- Nothing unique about the silver, looks like Tungsten Pearl to me

things I like.

The drop

Its hardly trash, you dont have to like it, but dont go overboard.


The car does look much better in real life than the pics.
