Default Cali 2IS's are nice!

So I'm currently vacationing in sunny L.A. and I've seen quite a few 2IS's on the freeways. Most look so damn nice, but a few I was like wth. I guess that's with anywhere in the world. I see a lot more females driving the 2IS's versus up in Canada. Anyone else notice that or was it just a fluke I kept seeing females?

There was a nice white one I drove by in Commerce a couple days back where I kept looking at you (on telegraph way). Not sure if you're on this forum. I was in the red Camry with the Texas plates. I would never ever consider buying a Camry after driving a Lexus.

Also spotted one with a Tom's rear and the hood was converted with slits? Not sure what it's called. Too bad I never got a chance to visit the local Lexus meet this time around.

Thanks Cali peeps for all the ideas when I get back to Canada for my 2IS.

The Pursuit is going on right now in SoCal. Probably explains the sightings

^ Haha, I'd offer you my current tires (should be at 60%+ tread) but I don't think they'll fit your wheels.

I tend to see a lot of female drivers in the IS's here in So Cal. Not a bad thing but I'd like to see a lil modification going on here and there.

That was probably me... was it after 6pm?

Did it look like this? (minus the red caps):



If it was, my bad.. i didn't notice anyone... you should have pulled next and honked.

Sorry for the late reply kayotik. Just got home from a Mexico cruise and didn't want to spend the outrageous prices for Internet on the boat.. Don't think so because it was around 3pm. It looked similiar to yours.
