Had a kid following me around in a corolla and kind of riding my butt for a while. Turns out he just really liked my car as when i made a turn near my house he honked a few times and gave me the thumbs up out the window. Im still amazed at how many positive reactions the F gets(even in stock form-looks wise)!

it's cuz it looks perfect body-wise in stock state and pound for pound, looks better than any of its peers in stock state! don't F it up with all that teenager crap man. your color combo is aggressively classy.

just save up for a proper set of forged wheels, kw3s and sticky tires. all the car needs.

To each their own, I don't even think the car needs to be dropped or even a set of wheels, comes with forged BBS from the factory. Looks great as is. I'm not discounting anyone that does cosmetic or performance mods either. Very rarely I see bad looking F's on here. Most of them are tastefully done.

BBS wheels are top shelf (owned several sets of BBS-LMs and RGRs over the years along with OZs, Fikses) so you're preaching to the choir.

20s, though, put out the best proportions, and with proper widths/offsets, you can run them all day while being as light as the BBS 19" setup.

I find that 9 out of 10 ISFs I see on this forum look like they've been hit by the teenager stick. Makes the owner look like they are lifelong subscribers of pep boys auto catalog to be quite honest.

That's weird, my name is Chris and from RI too. Where are you located? I've only seen 2 other IS-Fs around RI.

woonsocket right on the MA/RI border. I believe their are only around 8 is-fs listed on CL in ma and ri(not to say their arent more), and of course theirs one in woonsocket that is the same color as mine. Funny tho..I have never actually seen V around unless we were meeting up in a parking lot or something.

Honestly I love the way my car looks and I probably wont do much to it looks wise

Had my wald replica spoiler and rear window visor painted sgm by my nephew at his trade school to match my car. They did a great job and it only cost me $85 for the materials. My wife looks thrilled holding the pieces in place for a picture
