Hey everyone. Been lurking around here before I got my IS a couple months ago and found a lot of information here helpful. I haven't seen many threads for AWD, but I live in the northeast and snows quite a bit, so RWD wasn't quite an option.

For now, I've done f-sport springs, grille-surround, and front oem spoiler. There any people in boston in this forum?

It's matador red, but it has a nice pearl effect in the sun. Kinda a girly color to be perfectly honest puahha, but hopefully after some rims it'll look a little more masculine. Thanks for the comments.

After winter im thinking of doing the rims, but not really sure how well black.gunmetal goes with the car. Been looking @ varianza but seems like everyone has that, and maybe the privat netz. Why are they so cheap? Anyone know the quality on those?

Girly color? Nah. I think Matador Red is one of the best colors for the IS, and your grill surround really makes it look good.
