I use to have a IS250 awd and a move to downtown Minneapolis meant my fiance' and I would downsize to one car.... so the IS2 was sold.
... just bought a place in the burbs and my fiance' and I would need a second car and after a few other tries (newer accord, acura RL, RSX - still have this one) ended up back with another IS, this time the IS350 rwd. The new place in the burbs puts my commute at only about 15 miles round trip so figured the need for AWD wasn't as severe (was going 110 miles a day before the move).


The old -


....and the new



... I'm glad to be back.

 

Welcome back!! We just can't stay away from these beauties!

 

Welcome back Nick. Nice commute! You like white better?

 

Welcome back! I'm sure you'll enjoy this 350 even more then your 250!

 

Welcome back, happy modding

 

The Mrs. does, and thats what matters.
... It looks really sharp in white (I did like the SGM didn't show dirt). I think with a new grill - black and not the stock chrome, will really help pull it all together.


It took about 1 on-ramp to forget about the 250. Only concern is RWD this winter, but with some good snow tires I think I'll be okay.

Only plans on the moment will be trunk / roof spoiler (just small lip ones) and a new grill, or paint the current one, the chrome doesn't fit.
... other than that, the previous owner did the hard work. I'm really surprised how well it rides on the 19" with S&S springs. I figured it would be like a ton of bricks (my IS250 was on stock suspension), but its pretty great.

 

Welcome back, the car looks pretty clean actually

 

Welcome back to the IS community.

Let the mods begin, again.

 

A wise man once said: "Once a 2IS owner, always a 2IS owner".

Congrats on the car and welcome back

 

Velcome back!

 

Welcome back, I'm liking the latest set up.

 

The previous owner had some good taste, I'm loving it too!

Its dropped and man o' man does it look better than my IS250 stock height. The ride is surprisingly good considering the tire size.
