Default Time to say Hello Fellow ISF owners! Pics inside!

I have been browsing on CL for a few months now so I figured it was time to say hello and Post pics of the whip!

I purchased the bone stock 08 ISF in November with a little over 40,000 miles on it. Had brand new brakes and brand new michelins before I would pull the trigger with the dealer. So far I love the car and its better than I imagined. I come from a background racing high horsepower fwd cars so this is a whole new ballgame for me. I have full intentions of making this car as fast as possible without compromising drive-ability.

Mods so far:
Satin black Joe Z intake tube
Removed secondary cats
exact motorsports diffuser
Carbon Wrap on roof and all b pillars including the mirror triangles.
Carbon Lexus emblem insert on rear
Hard wired V1

Mods for 2011:
Headers
port and polish throttle body and Intake Manifold
Possibly a direct port NX system to run with the best!
If I could only get Tony Palo from T1 to tune this thing I would be set, but no tuning can be done as of now

On with the Pics, excuse the quality they were taken with a phone lol

I love the RED with dark gun-metal wheel contrast - this color has really grown on me over time! Very nicely done

Thank you! I did not like it until I finally had seen it in person. The best thing is I see all the same ISF's in DFW area, about 3-5 per Month if that, but so far This is the only Red I have seen in Person. Makes me feel great about the choice.

Do it! It evens comes with 2 so you have a back up insert. The edges are rolled and the quality is spot on!

I don't know what part of DFW you're driving around/in but I NEVER see any IS-F's...ever...

I see 2 different Blue ones both male drivers, 1 black, male driver, 2 silver ones both female. I work over by the galleria and one woman with the silver and chrome rims works across the street from me so I see it parked and leaving on the regular lol. There is one member on here that has a white with black volks and carbon accessories. I see that car parked at his work every time I go to one of my clients office.

You should come out to cars and coffee 1st sat of every Month at the BMW dealership off Springcreek and tollway. 300+ exotic supercars and muscle cars. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE KIND COMMENTS! I have wanted this car for 3yrs, to drive and mod. I will definitely be tinkering with it ;-)

Congrats man. You got yourself a very unique color. There are not that many Matador Red Mica around.
