Default Hello from South Africa

Got my car about 1 week ago after a 5 month wait. Thought I would post some pics of her in the wonderful South African sun shine.. Have a TRD Defuser on order and waiting for the beatsonic DVD/NAV override as well. Plan to fit a subwoofer with supporting amp over the weekend. As you can see she has 19 inch ARD rims as well which was fitted about 2 days ago. Only has 150km's on the clock so far.

Awesome! Amazing background setting too, I'm definitely jealous

On a side note, take the license plate off the front if you can :P

Awesome pictures and nice 3IS! Coastline is very stunning.

Of course no South Africa thread would be complete without some American posting "DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!"

I guess as time passes though, less folks will get the movie reference

Awesome. Quick question, is your car lowered or does it have stock suspension?
