Default 2nd Gen IS300 Middle East

Hey all,

I have been here quite sometime but never actually posted any pics of the car cos it wasn't anywhere close to what I want it to look like. It isn't finished yet, but i have done some work on it and I thought now is a good time to get some pics and post it.

Comments are appreciated.





















I need to take some night time pictures and hopefully will be doing that sometime soon

Suggestions welcome!

I dont want to go any bigger than 18 inch because some roads here are not the best and I want to be able to drive comfortably.

Clean look! Love the color. Not feeling the Nissan-derived wheels though.

Thanks! The wheels only cost me 700 dollars for the set. Felt it was a steal at that price and doesn't look all that bad IMO. To each his own I guess.

I want to put some wheels on which have class and sportiness at the same time. The BBS style rims in 18inch is my next choice.
