Hey everyone been on here a while but never got a chance to introduce myself.

Some light modifications:

-pearl gloss black oem wheels
-pearl gloss black oem inner grill (surround and emblem left chrome)
-powdercoated calipers gunmetal
-jdmtoy LED DRL with slim decoder
-redouts in the rear
-OEM rear spoiler
-15% tint all the way around

Have powdercoated black S2k exhaust tips coming in. Looking at doing a gloss black roof wrap along with a roof spoiler in black as well.

The car does need a new front lip but trying to see what the best look is before I go ahead with anything.

Looking to learn a lot and share as much information as possible.

Nice car.

I'm a little puzzled, there are IS-es that came with no sunroof?

Ya it's funny you say that - all one of the ones I see on here have a sunroof. The majority of the ones in Canada come without. Not quite sure why

It's actually better looking imo. I never open the sunroof anyway, gotta keep the interior as dust free as posible.

Welcome to the IS Community.

A black roof wrap would go great with the scheme you are going for.

You have many choices for a potential front lip.

Good luck with the upcoming mods.

Welcome to CL. Car looks pretty good. I've never seen one without a sunroof either.

That's weird! I see many without in Canada. Thanks everyone, love the car since the mods!
