Complete wald kit. Can't speak for its authenticity (looks replica) but looks like you might be able to find the previous owner. Hopefully they are a member on here.

how could someone tell that they're replicas?
i don't really know much about the kits since this would be the first IS and first car with an actual kit that i get.

I have been to Texas Direct before I got my IS

Seems like alot of their cars are bought in poor shape, quick fix and resale.

I'm not saying all of them are like that, but the 3 IS that I test drove ... all had scratches along the dash, stains on carpet (oil like), and just had a bad feel about them.

If you are going to purchase your car there, I would recommend checking it carefully or have a mechanic look at it. I have read story that some peeps took the car to their mechanic and it didn't get an approval.

Google and you will find alot of negative reviews about that place too.... Is just like a big auction car place, so your rolling the dice on a car there.

If u haven't negotiated yet, see if u can push the price down. I got my 2006 IS350 lux package with 67k miles for $19 thousand. It came with a HKS which push away some of their other buyers.
