Them rydes are no joke but what do you expect when you really pay nothin cause its sponsored.
I wouldn't say people pay nothing, sure there are a lot of kids sponsored by parents or perhaps guys that work for a few wheel companies get a set of wheels to advertise for them, but as far as the big builds on this forum I know a lot of those guys personally and I assure you their mods are not free. Some things they can get at cost or at a decent discount but rarely do any legit companies give anything out for free nowadays especially to IS's . if they're gonna give free products away they'll give them to higher end / rare cars. IS's have become so affordable now especially ours, that they're everywhere and most of them have the same mods. That part holds very true with 3IS's though. Especially if you're in Miami, you're on RSR's & Vossens with the all fit lip kit

At least the guys I know dont pay for tires/wheels/bags you name it. It's all sponsored by the company. My coworker couldn't afford 2 super chargers ranging 6k-10k ea. Lol. His wife would whoop his **** if he did that. Never the less there may be guys dishing out their own monies and I give props to them. Keep up the good work 2gens

Both are amazing, but IMO I think the 2gen IS has the sexiest body lines of any car around. I could just be bias cause I have one lol

Btw this is one of his Sema vehicles. He spends years completing his ryde and must advertise it so companies know it's an investment . Since that show bag,18" lift ect. He just sold this truck for dirt cheap which I knew I shoulda bought it.
